  • Patent number: 11952904
    Abstract: A fan module for an aircraft turbomachine includes a fan with a disc carrying fan blades and a rotor of an electric machine. The rotor has an annular shape and is mounted coaxially downstream of the fan. The module further includes an annular support for the rotor with a downstream end fixed to the rotor and with an upstream end fixed to the fan disc. The support is fixed to the disc by shear bolts configured to break when a torque transmitted by the disc to the support exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230203985
    Abstract: Counter-rotating turbine of a turbomachine extending about an axis of rotation and comprising an inner rotor having 5 at least one inner moving blade supported in rotation by a first shaft, an outer rotor rotating in an opposite direction to the inner rotor, and comprising at least one outer moving blade supported in rotation by a second shaft coaxial with the first shaft, the first 10 and second shafts extending axially from upstream to downstream of the turbine, the first shaft being guided in rotation by a first bearing disposed between the first shaft and an upstream casing of the turbine, and the second shaft being guided in rotation by a second bearing disposed between the second 15 shaft and said upstream casing of the turbine, the first bearing and the second bearing being disposed upstream of a first stage of the inner rotor.

  • Publication number: 20230011485
    Abstract: Turbomachine (10) having a contrarotating turbine for aircraft, the turbomachine comprising a contrarotating turbine (22) of which a first rotor (22a) is configured to rotate in a first direction of rotation and is connected to a first turbine shaft (36), and a second rotor (22b) is configured to rotate in an opposite direction of rotation and is connected to a second turbine shaft (38), the first rotor comprising turbine discs that are interleaved between turbine discs of the second rotor, said first shaft (36) being guided by at least two guide bearings (60, 62) mounted between this first shaft and a stator casing, and said second shaft (38) being guided by at least two guide bearings (56, 58) mounted between this second shaft and another stator casing (28).
