  • Patent number: 11828191
    Abstract: A turbomachine assembly includes a casing, first and second rotors, and a damper. The first rotor includes a disk and blades and is movable in rotation relative to the casing. The second rotor is movable relative to the casing around a longitudinal axis. The damper damps a movement of the first rotor relative to the second rotor. The damper includes first to third parts. The first part bears on the first rotor in a first area extending over a first angular sector around the longitudinal axis and applies a first centrifugal force on the first rotor. The second part bears on the first rotor in a second area that is smaller than the first angular sector and extends over a second angular sector around the longitudinal axis. The third part bears on the second rotor and applies a second centrifugal force on the second rotor.
