LOCKING SPACER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A locking spacer assembly for securing adjacent rotor blades includes a first end piece configured to fit into a space between the platforms of adjacent rotor blades. The first end piece comprises an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface has a profile that is adapted to project into the attachment slot. A second end piece is configured to fit into a space between the platforms. The second end piece comprises an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface has a profile that is adapted to project into the attachment slot. The inner surfaces of the first and second end pieces generally face each other. The first end piece and the second end piece are bonded together either directly or via a spacer block that is inserted between the inner surfaces.
