  • Publication number: 20240280029
    Abstract: A rotor disk for a blade ring of an aircraft engine, in particular for a turbine stage thereof, including an attachment section for attachment to a shaft for torque transfer, a main section that extends radially inwardly from a blade root receptacle in the radial direction, a connecting section that connects the attachment section and the main section, and a plurality of through openings, situated in the circumferential direction, at a radially inner end of the connecting section. A rotor disk whose stresses are reduced in the event of load is provided in that the connecting section has an undercut. An apex of the undercut is radially situated above the through opening in the range of 5%-50% of the axial length of a through opening, and/or is axially spaced apart from an axial end of the through opening at 5%-35% of the axial length of the through opening.

  • Patent number: 10837284
    Abstract: A rotor (100) for a turbomachine is provided, having at least two bladed, detachably interconnected rotor stages (1, 3, 6), a flange (17) of a first rotor stage (1) being attached to a rotor disk (25) of a second, adjacent rotor stage (3) via at least one fastening element (7). The rotor disk (25) has a through bore (11) for connecting the two rotor stages (1, 3) by the fastening element (7); the through bore (11) having a cross section that is larger in the circumferential direction (u) of the rotor disk (25) than in the radial direction (r) thereof.
