Method for improved assembly of an actuator for an air bleed valve of a turbine engine

1. A method for assembling an actuating ram of at least one air bleed valve placed between a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor of a turbomachine, the ram including a cylinder configured to be attached to a case wall from which projects an end of a connecting rod linked to the air bleed valve, the cylinder being extended by a spacer being used to attach the cylinder to the case wall, and including a piston rod surrounded by the spacer and configured to be connected to the end of the connecting rod, the method comprising:

deploying the piston rod to project from the spacer;

connecting the projecting piston rod to the end of the connecting rod projecting from the case wall on a side of the ram;

retracting the piston rod to bring the cylinder closer to the case wall; and

attaching the spacer to the case wall,

wherein the retracting the piston rod is implemented such that a mechanical junction between the piston rod and the end of the connecting rod lies, after the retracting, inside the spacer,

wherein the spacer is made to have no side opening, and

wherein the method further comprises a prior dimensioning of the ram, respecting the following condition:

( C−M )/2 =Y ; with

C corresponding to a theoretical maximum stroke of the piston;

M corresponding to a mechanical stop margin in a retracted position of the rod; and

Y corresponding to a distance between the wall and a center of the mechanical junction between the piston rod and the end, with the center of the mechanical junction arranged in the spacer attached to the wall, and bringing each valve into a closing position and bringing the piston rod into a retracted position.

2. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the attaching the spacer to the case wall is carried out by screwing.

3. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the deploying the piston rod is carried out such that in a ram position enabling the piston rod to be connected to the end of the connecting rod, the case wall and the spacer define between each other an access.

4. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the spacer is made as a single piece with the cylinder of the ram.

5. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting the projecting piston rod to the end of the connecting rod is carried out using a ball-jointed connection or a hinged connection.

6. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the distance C−M is equal to 40 mm.

7. The assembling method according to claim 1 , wherein the case wall is a downstream flange of an intermediate case of the turbomachine.
