  • Patent number: 8573943
    Abstract: A turbine rotor having a plurality of rotor blades assembled into rotor blade rows and arranged on a turbine disk is provided. The respective turbine disc on the side surfaces thereof includes a plurality of sealing plates having edges that are arranged radially towards the inside, enables a simplified design and assembly, while maintaining maximum operational reliability and maximum efficiency of a turbine equipped therewith. Therefore, between the edge of the respective sealing plate and a side wall of the turbine disc groove, a closure member is provided, wherein the edge extends over the entire azimuthal length of the sealing plate and the closure members abut each other in the azimuthal direction for sealing purposes. The closure members may be inserted into the turbine disc groove via a recess interrupting the respective edge and extending substantially azimuthally on the side facing the turbine axis.

  • Patent number: 8256082
    Abstract: A multi-part pin remover for removing a pin from a hole of a component is provided. A holder of the pin remover that is supported on the component is equipped with a projection that aligns the pin remover with respect to the component in order to reliably prevent any twisting of the pin when removing the pin from the hole.

  • Patent number: 7530254
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bending device for bending in a locking plate of a rotor of a turbine, by means of which a reliable fastening of the locking plate is carried out. The bending device comprises a mounting which has two sections, the first section of which is inserted into the groove of the rotor, and the second section of which, with the mounting inserted in the groove, projects from this groove. By means of a lever, which is rotatably mounted on the second section, the locking plate can be reliably bent over for securing a bolt against loss.
