Abstract

An assembly is provided for a turbine engine with an axial centerline. This turbine engine assembly may include a blade outer air seal segment, a linkage and an actuation device. The linkage may include a shaft and a head, where the shaft is connected to the blade outer air seal segment and extends radially outward to the head. The actuation device may include a sloped slide block located radially within and engaged with the head. The actuation device may be configured to laterally translate the sloped slide block and thereby radially move the blade outer air seal segment.
