Abstract: A hub for a propeller having variable pitch blades for a turbine engine, for example for a propfan turbine engine. The propeller hub includes: a polygonal ring having substantially radial cylindrical housings distributed about a central axis of the ring for receiving the blades; a rotor element for the turbine of the turbine engine; a supporting flange attached to the ring so as to connect the ring to the rotor element; and a plurality of backup retaining members linked to the rotor element, and each of which includes at least one bearing surface opposite an outer surface of the ring with a radial spacing.

Abstract: A prestressing device extending about an axis between a first plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis and a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane and axially offset relative to the latter. The device includes a first annular body extending in the first plane, and a first series of at least three tabs, each of which is connected to the first body and extending in an essentially radial direction, each of the tabs of the first series including a planar surface extending in the second plane. This arrangement ensures surface contact between the parts of the elements to be subjected to prestressing. The device can be used for example for a rotor, and for example for a rotor of an unducted propeller for a turbine engine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a helical ring (100) comprising a polygonal body (110) and a plurality of cylindrical radial housings (150) arranged in said body, each housing (150) having a surface adapted to receive support means of a blade of a helix, characterised in that the surface of each housing (150) is arranged on a radially internal surface (201) of a corresponding hub (200), each hub (200) being a separate piece attached to the body (110) of the ring, intended to be received in a radial housing (21) of the latter, and in that it also comprises two projecting pins (32) relative to its external surface to be fastened to the edges of a housing of the annular body, the two projecting pins forming a centring axis. The invention also relates to a manufacturing process of such a ring, a helix and a turbomachine fitted with such a ring.

Abstract: A fan rotor including a disk carrying blades including roots engaged in slots in the disk, a frustoconical cap mounted on the disk upstream from the blades, and a retaining mechanism axially retaining the blades on the disk and including a ring mounted in an annular groove of the disk and forming an abutment for the roots of the blades, the ring being festooned or crenellated and co-operating with a festooned radial annular bead of the annular groove of the disk, and a mechanism preventing the ring from moving in rotation, which includes an annulus carrying at least one axial tooth inserted in hollow portions of the bead of the disk and of the ring, the annulus being fastened by bolts on an upstream radial face of the disk.

Abstract: An assembly in a turbine engine for controlling plural toothed pivotally-mounted blades arranged in azimuth around the axis of the turbine engine and including an actuator ring controlling a position of the blades. Racks mounted on the ring present corresponding sets of teeth meshing with the set of teeth of a respective one of the blades to place it in a selected angular position, and they are held in the radial direction by radial positioning mechanism fastened to the blade. Each rack is mounted on the ring by plural guides spaced apart circumferentially around the ring, that connect together movements of the rack and of the ring in the circumferential direction, and that are configured to slide relative to the ring, for each guide in its own radial direction, and relative to the rack in a direction of movement that is substantially radial and specific to the rack.

Abstract: A variable pitch blade propeller hub for a turbomachine with a longitudinal axis includes a polygonal ring supporting the blades, concentric with the longitudinal axis and including two spaced parallel annular end flanges between which are diametrically fastened, by root areas arising from the annular flanges, collars with cylindrical radial housings to receive the blades. The collars are equi-angularly distributed at the lateral periphery of the polygonal ring and separated from each other by intermediate areas with through-openings. The also includes connectors connecting the polygonal ring to a turbine rotor element of the turbomachine. The intermediate areas defined between two concentric collars and the annular end flanges include elements for reinforcing the collars that are arranged radially and/or tangentially and fastened at least to the lateral walls of two consecutive collars.
