Patent number: 5749706Abstract: Rotor blades (1) are held by means of toothed roots (3) in correspondingly profiled axial grooves (4) of a rotor wheel rim (5). Between each root end and the base of an axial groove (4), there is formed a radial gap (S) accommodating a rivet (6).

Seating wedges (11, 11') surround the upset head (8) and the set head (7) of the rivet (6) and are axially and radially clamped to wedge-shaped complementary surfaces (G, G') of the root end and of the respective insert (9, 9') by riveting. As a result, an improved radial and axial clamping of the rotor blades is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union Muenchen GmbHInventor: Karl Maar

Patent number: 5425621Abstract: A device for axially securing a moving blade and for eliminating rotor unbalances is provided. The moving blade has a blade base. A wheel disk has circumferentially distributed axial grooves. The blade base is anchored in one of the axial grooves wherein the axial groove encloses an indentation formed between a bottom of the axial groove and an end of the blade base. A filler piece operatively arranged on the bottom of the axial groove, and a securing plate having two ends, are insertable into the indentation. The securing plate is arranged to bridge a gap formed between the end of the blade base and the filler piece along an axial length of the indentation with the two ends projecting beyond the indentation. The securing plate is bent at each of its two ends in a mutually opposite manner with respect to end faces of the filler piece, wheel disk and blade base. One rotor unbalance of the blade is compensated by at least one filler piece.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1994Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Assignee: MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union Muenchen GmbHInventor: Karl Maar
