  • Patent number: 11378014
    Abstract: A turbomachine includes a low-pressure shaft that drives a fan shaft in rotation by a coupling assembly including a first shaft on which are formed plural first axial grooves, a second shaft on which are formed plural second axial grooves, and a coupling device including rolling elements and an annular cage positioned between the first shaft and the second shaft. The rolling elements are positioned between one of the first axial grooves and one of the second axial grooves to couple in rotation the first and the second shaft. Each first and second groove has a first and a second substantially planar surface inclined with respect to one another and extending along the axis.

  • Patent number: 10920609
    Abstract: A turbine assembly for a turbine engine, includes a rotor disk having a plurality of CMC material blades, a stationary nozzle made of CMC material having a plurality of vanes with outer platforms forming a nozzle ring, a turbine ring made as a single piece of CMC material, and a casing of material presenting a coefficient of thermal expansion that is strictly greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic matrix composite material forming the blades of the rotor disk, the nozzle, and the turbine ring, the casing extending around the nozzle ring and the turbine ring, at least the nozzle ring or the turbine ring being connected to the casing via at least one sliding connection having a degree of freedom to move radially.

  • Patent number: 10301972
    Abstract: A turbine comprising an intermediate casing axially inserted between an upstream high pressure turbine casing and a downstream low pressure turbine casing and comprising an outer annular shroud from which an annular flange radially extends, characterized in that the downstream end of the high pressure turbine casing and the upstream end of the low pressure turbine casing are attached on the radial annular flange of the intermediate casing.
