  • Low diameter turbine rotor clamping arrangement
    Patent number: 10100642
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine having turbine discs includes a low diameter turbine rotor clamp for securing the turbine discs together. The rotor clamp includes a clamp sleeve, a clamp cylinder adapted to be threadably engaged to the clamp sleeve to apply an axial force on the turbine discs being coupled together. The rotor clamp includes an anti-score ring positioned between the bore of a turbine disc and the clamp cylinder and a lock tube used to prevent unwanted rotation of the clamp cylinder with respect to the clamp sleeve.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2018
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce Corporation
    Inventors: Daniel K. Morrison, Matthew P. Basiletti, Matthew I Jackson
  • Platform for ceramic matrix composite turbine blades
    Patent number: 9745856
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a turbine wheel having a blade platform disposed to compliantly secure ceramic turbine blades to a rotatable disk. The platform includes opposing ends to engage a portion of an airfoil of each turbine blade and radial extensions to engage a portion of a root of each turbine blade.
