  • Publication number: 20250092795
    Abstract: Avane actuating arm (10) for a turbomachine, the vane actuating arm (10) including two legs (12) which are pivotable relative to each between at least one open position and a closed position and form a clamping device having at least one clamping surface (14) on each of the legs (12). In the closed position, a vane stem (20) provided for varying the pitch of a stator vane of the turbomachine can be frictionally held between the two legs (12) via the two clamping surfaces (14), forming a clamping connection (16). Each of the legs (12) has an opening (50), the openings (50) overlapping each other in the closed position such that a through-bolt connectable to an actuating element of the turbomachine for controlling an angular position of the vane stem (20) can be passed through the openings (50).

  • Publication number: 20230003137
    Abstract: A rotor blade system includes a blade root, a blade neck adjoining the blade root, an airfoil adjoining the blade neck, a radially outer partition wall, an axially forward partition wall and an axially rearward partition wall, connected to the radially outer partition wall such that the partition walls surround the blade neck on three sides, the partition walls projecting beyond the blade neck in the circumferential direction, and further including a blade root protection plate designed to be arranged on the blade root. It is provided that the blade root protection plate have at least one sealing portion that extends in the axial direction from the forward partition wall to the rearward partition wall and whose radially outer side is disposed opposite the radially outer partition wall when the blade root protection plate is arranged on the blade root.

  • Publication number: 20220251959
    Abstract: A gas turbine has a rotor blade. The rotor blade has a blade root connected to an airfoil. The blade root has a root contour with respect to a cross-sectional view. From a lower end of the blade root, the blade root contour has convex contour portions and concave contour portions. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a convex contour portion and an adjoining concave contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is load-bearing. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a concave contour portion and an adjoining convex contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is not load-bearing in operation. At least one of the concave contour portions has a first arc portion, a second arc portion, and a straight portion disposed between the two arc portions.

  • Publication number: 20200049015
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a turbine blade with a cooling fluid via an internal flow passage formed in the turbine blade extending from an inlet to an outlet edge having a first passage section defining a first flow direction, a second passage section defining a second flow direction, a wall between the first and second passage section and a diverter, between the first and the second passage section. The wall in a region of the diverter forms a pier head which extends into the region of the first passage section and thereby reduces the flow cross section of the flow passage.

  • Publication number: 20190234219
    Abstract: A shroud segment (100) for disposition on a blade of a turbomachine is provided, in particular a gas turbine, the shroud segment having a stiffening structure raised above a shroud segment surface (15), the stiffening structure including at least three interconnected ribs (3, 5, 7), and a first end portion of the ribs (3, 5, 7) being connected to an upstream sealing tip (11) of the shroud segment (100), and a second end portion of these ribs (3, 5, 7) being connected to a downstream sealing tip (13) of the shroud segment (100). The angles (W1, W2, W3) between the direction of the axis of rotation (a) of the blade and the longitudinal orientations (21, 23, 25) of the ribs (3, 5, 7), as viewed in the direction of flow (9) through the turbomachine, are between zero degrees and eighty degrees. The present invention also relates to a blade (200) of a turbomachine.

  • Publication number: 20160201486
    Abstract: An extruded profile for manufacturing a blade of an outlet guide vane of a turbine engine. A cross-sectional area has an axial length LAX and a thickness D/LAX relative to the axial length LAX. A cross-sectional area has an at least nearly axisymmetric leading edge region, a first transition region having a varying relative thickness D/LAX. A first constant region has a relative thickness D/LAX at least substantially constant and, relative to a leading edge of the extruded profile, begins at the closest at 10% LAX and ends at the furthest at 50% LAX. A second transition region has a varying relative thickness D/LAX and, relative to the leading edge of the extruded profile, begins at the closest at 30% LAX and ends at the furthest at 90% LAX. A second constant region has a relative thickness D/LAX at least substantially constant and an axial length X of 40% LAX at most; and an at least nearly axisymmetric trailing edge region.

  • Publication number: 20130243602
    Abstract: A method for machining a workpiece. An electrode is moved linearly in the direction of the workpiece to cause material to be removed from the workpiece, at least one end of a surface of the workpiece running obliquely to a guide edge of the electrode machining this surface. The electrode is moved at least partially with the electrode surface parallel to the surface, so that during the approach to the workpiece, areas of the workpiece having an irregular edge machined at a different intensity are formed, the difference in intensity of machining on the edge of the surface to be machined being compensated in that the surface to be machined is provided with a height profile adapted to the shape of the end of the surface to be machined. A blade ring segment and blade ring is also disclosed.
