  • Publication number: 20130216359
    Abstract: An axial compressor is provided. The compressor has an annular flow channel, in which adjustable blades of a blade ring that extend through the flow channel are rotatably mounted. Each blade has a lug on the rotor-side of the vane for mounting an inner ring. In order to provide a wear-free, self-centering inner ring, the ring is designed as a split ring with two opposing ends and a spring element for spreading the split ring.
