Abstract

Shim for a turbomachine blade, for covering the root of said blade, the shim comprising: two branches for covering the bearing surfaces of the blade root; a base interconnecting these branches; and at least one holder element located at one end of the shim and suitable for coming into contact with the blade root to retain the shim relative to the blade root, the shim further comprising, at its other end, at least one foolproofing element projecting from the base in the opposite direction to the branches. A turbomachine rotor assembly including such a shim.

Claims (13)

1. A turbomachine rotor assembly comprising:

a rotor disk presenting recesses in its outer periphery;

blades fastened via their root in said recesses;

shims for the blades, each shim configured to surround a root of one blade and including

two branches for covering bearing surfaces of the blade root;

a base interconnecting the branches;

at least one holder element situated at one end of the shim and suitable for coming into contact with the blade root to retain the shim relative to the blade root; and

at least one foolproofing element situated at an other end of the shim and projecting from the base in an opposite direction to the branches; and

spacers, each spacer being placed between the base of a shim and a bottom of a recess of the rotor disk.

2. The turbomachine rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the foolproofing element is a tongue that projects from the edge of the base and that is folded in an opposite direction to the branches.

3. The turbomachine rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the foolproofing element is a protuberance situated on a face of the base that faces away from the branches.

4. The turbomachine rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holder element is a tongue that projects from an edge of one of the branches or of the base and that is folded to lie between the branches.

5. A turbomachine including a rotor assembly according to claim 1 .
