Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a rotor arrangement for a turbomachine, having a rotor with a first rotor stage, a shaft, and a first hub for joining the first rotor stage to the shaft. The first hub has a balancing device for balancing the first rotor stage. In addition, the present invention relates to a compressor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A rotor arrangement for a turbomachine, comprising: a rotor comprising a first rotor stage, a second rotor stage, a shaft, and a first hub for joining the first rotor stage to the shaft, wherein the first hub has a balancing device for balancing the first rotor stage, wherein the first rotor stage includes a first basic rotor body and does not have a balancing device disposed thereon, wherein the second rotor stage comprises a second basic rotor body with a rotor arm joining the first rotor stage to the second rotor stage, and wherein a second balancing device is disposed on a radially outer side of the second rotor stage. 2. The rotor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first basic rotor body is an integrally bladed basic rotor body or a basic rotor body with blades joined to the first basic rotor body in form-fitting manner. 3. The rotor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first hub comprises a balancing ring and/or balancing weights for balancing the first rotor stage. 4. The rotor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotor stage does not have a balancing fret and/or a balancing flange. 5. The rotor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor arm has a radial passage opening for the through-flow of fluids from an inside space of the rotor into an outside space of the rotor. 6. The rotor arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor arrangement is configured and arranged for use in a compressor of a turbomachine. 7. The rotor arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the compressor is a high-pressure compressor of an aircraft engine.
