July 26, 2023
A sealing arrangement (200) includes a stationary component (202). a first slot (216) is defined between an outer wall (208) and a first inner wall (210). a second slot (218) is defined between the outer wall (208) and a second inner wall (212). A rotating component (204) moves in a circumferential direction relative to the stationary component (202). The rotating component (204) includes a tip rail (106). A floating seal (224) positioned between the stationary component (202) and the rotating component (204). The floating seal (224) includes an axial member (226) having a first arm (228) extending into the first slot (216) and a second arm (230) extending into the second slot (218). The floating seal (224) includes a first radial member (232) and a second radial member (234) that extends from the axial member (226). A plurality of magnets (235) coupled to the stationary component (202), the rotating component (204), and the floating seal (224). The plurality of magnets (235) is arranged such that the floating seal (224) is contained between the stationary component (202) and the rotating component (204).
