  • Patent number: 5700133
    Abstract: Damper disposition (8) mounted between two neighboring vanes (5) and which ncludes free inners (22) in housings (21) delimited by a radially external wall (16) slanted outwardly in the direction of the respective vane (5). The centrifugal forces produced by rotation of the disk of the rotor (4) move the inners (22) outside the housings (21) and forcibly apply them to the vanes (5) so as to dampen the vibrations, especially when considerable friction is produced against the outer wall (16).Application for turbo-engines and especially for the large vanes of input blowers.
