  • Patent number: 8794922
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly between a compressor shaft trunnion and a bevel gear for driving an accessory gearbox of a turbomachine. The assembly comprises a bevel gear, a compressor shaft trunnion arranged coaxially inside the bevel gear, torque transmission means between the compressor shaft trunnion and the bevel gear, a lock nut for preventing the bevel gear from moving axially on the compressor shaft trunnion, the lock nut being suitable for being screwed onto the bevel gear and including a shoulder projecting radially outwards and suitable for coming into axial abutment firstly upstream against a stop nut screwed onto an upstream end of the compressor shaft trunnion, and secondly downstream against a bearing surface of the compressor shaft trunnion, and an anti-rotation pin for preventing the lock nut from rotating.

  • Patent number: 7210909
    Abstract: A first rotor piece includes a first ring provided with a succession of holes and notches. An assembly is formed by a second rotor piece fixed to a third rotor piece. The second piece ends downstream in a second ring including holes. The third piece ends upstream in a third ring including holes. The second and third rings are arranged against each other with their holes in alignment, and are fixed together by first fasteners. The first ring is arranged upstream of and against the assembly so that the notches fit around the first fasteners so that some of the holes of the first ring are aligned with holes of the assembly, with second fasteners fixing the first ring to the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070086896
    Abstract: A turbomachine rotor including at least one disk having a ring constituted, for example, by a winding of metal-coated silicon carbide or alumina yarn. According to the invention, the composite ring is received in a closed annular cavity, e.g. defining by machining a groove in an enlarged portion of the disk and closing the groove by means of an annular plate after the ring has been put into place.

  • Publication number: 20060174632
    Abstract: Several embodiments of devices for intaking gases from the boundary layer through ducts (3, 4) hollowed out in blades (7) are disclosed. These embodiments are characteristic in that they are suitable for variable setting blades, installed on the stator (1) using pivots (8). The seal is maintained despite the variation in the relative position between the moving pivots (8) through which ducts pass, and the fixed intake header pipe (10).

  • Publication number: 20050025625
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection between a first piece (D1) ending in a first ring (12) provided with a succession of holes and notches, the axis of the first ring being centred on the axis of rotation of the compressor rotor in order to be attached to the intake of the compressor rotor, and an assembly formed by a second rotor piece (D2) fixed to a third rotor piece (D2). The second piece (D2) forms the intake of the compressor rotor and ends downstream in a second ring (32) comprising holes. The third piece ends upstream in a third ring (32) comprising holes, and the second and third rings are arranged against each other, so as to place their holes in alignment, and are fixed together by first fastening means.
