Abstract: Disclosed is a blade-disk assembly of a turbomachine, the blade-disk assembly having a plurality of adjacent rotor blades and a closure blade which are tilted into an anchoring groove, and at least one circumferential retention element which interlockingly cooperates with at least one blade, as well as a plurality of tilt-out prevention elements which are disposed between the groove base and the root portions and which, in the rest state, space the blades from the groove base when in the upper position. The blade-disk assembly further has a locking element, a portion of which is located between the groove base and the root portions and which, in the rest state, spaces the closure blade from the groove base when in the upper position. Also disclosed are a method for assembling such a blade-disk assembly, as well as a turbomachine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) and to a method associated with an assembly mechanism for a rotor system of an axial turbo engine having a central tension anchor, as is particularly known from engine technology. To this end, the invention provides a tensioning tool that pre-tensions or biases the tension anchor prior to and during the insertion of the anchor into the compound rotor assembly. After inserting the biased tension anchor in the compound rotor assembly, the tension anchor is relaxed, whereby the anchor exercises a compressive force on the compound rotor assembly. According to a preferred embodiment, the compound rotor assembly is also biased (compressed) and relaxed after assembling the tension anchor, so that a desired nominal bias Sigmanominal can be particularly easily achieved. The use of a shaft locking nut is no longer necessary in the device according to the invention, thus avoiding the difficulties that are associated with the use of this nut, such as complexity and safety problems.
