  • Axial rotor section for a rotor of a turbine
    Patent number: 8226366
    Abstract: Disclosed is an axial rotor section for a rotor of a turbine, on which a sealing element, which is provided on an end side surface, is secured by means of a bolt against movement in the circumferential direction, with the bolt being reliably secured against becoming loose by means of a securing plate. One particular advantage of the invention is the comparatively simple and low-cost design, comprising a securing plate, a bolt, holes and grooves. Furthermore, these components can be fitted and removed quickly, because of their simple geometry.
    Type: Grant

  • Fitting device for producing the arrangement for locking a sealing element, arranged at the front end on a rotor of a turbine, against a displacement in the circumferential direction, and method of producing such a locking arrangement
    Patent number: 7762112
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting device for producing the arrangement for locking a sealing element, arranged at the front end on a rotor of a turbine, against a displacement in the circumferential direction, the sealing element locking moving blades arranged on the rotor against an axial displacement. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method of producing the arrangement for locking a sealing element, arranged at the front end on a rotor of a turbine, against a displacement in the circumferential direction. The quality of the fitting can be further increased by means of a modular, mobile fitting device which secures the sealing element for the duration of the bending operation.
