  • Patent number: 10837308
    Abstract: A device for controlling variable-pitch turbomachine members such as stator vanes, wherein the movement of a control mechanism is imparted to a ring that rotates the levers for pivoting the vanes about a stator, and takes place with a possible change in the length of the bottle screw connecting the ring to the control mechanism, thereby allowing the blade pitch angle law to be changed according to the extension of the control device. A greater freedom of adjustment is thus obtained. The device can be useful when a single control mechanism is used for multiple rings arranged side by side, making it possible to have different control laws for the rings.

  • Patent number: 10393146
    Abstract: A flexible metal foil can be fixed on the inside part of a variable pitch vane control ring of a turbojet compressor, so as to close all through holes in which lever pins and their surrounding bushes are housed. As a result, the foil can retain the shank of the bush if the bush breaks. The use of such foil does not impose the development of a new model of control ring and its impact on the mass is small enough so that it does not affect engine performances. Therefore it avoids problems related to the breakage of bushes without having to make major changes to the existing system.
