Abstract: A curved contour of the lateral surface of a blade arrangement includes in at least one meridian section on mutually opposite sides of a blade airfoil an intersection point that is closer to the blade airfoil front edge, and an intersection point that is closer to the blade airfoil rear edge, and a best-fit line of least square distances from the curved contour. The curved contour includes first and/or the second contour section which meet specified conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting device for an adjustable blade or vane of a gas turbine, comprising a journal element connected to a respective blade or vane and a lever element connected to the journal element, wherein the lever element and the journal element are jointly movable about a journal axis of rotation. A clamping element is provided, being situated between the lever element and the journal element, such that a force-locking connection is or can be produced between the journal element, the clamping element, and the lever element. The lever element, the clamping element, and the journal element are aligned relative to each other by means of a positioning element, the positioning element being received in a first seat of the journal element and a corresponding second seat of the lever element.

Abstract: A vane assembly for a turbomachine includes a variable vane (10-15), the vane having at least one first, in particular plane or curved, engagement surface (11; 11?) for clamping, in particular without play, an actuator (20) of the vane assembly for adjustment of the vane, this first engagement surface not being inclined toward a longitudinal axis (L) of the vane or being inclined toward it by no more than 15°, and/or the vane assembly including a clamp (30; 31) for clamping the actuator against the first engagement surface by at least partially elastically compressing the clamp transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vane and/or by advancing the clamp in a clamp direction (S) that forms an angle of at least 45° with the longitudinal axis of the vane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blade for a turbomachine, comprising a blade element with a suction side and a pressure side, which extend between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the blade element, as well as a blade root for connection of the blade at a main rotor body, wherein the blade comprises a crack-affecting device, which, in the radial direction, has an altered cross-sectional geometry in comparison to an aerodynamically optimized blade profile. The invention further relates to a rotor for a turbomachine having at least one such blade, a turbomachine having at least one such blade, and/or with such a rotor as well as a method for producing a blade.
