Low diameter turbine rotor clamping arrangement
A gas turbine engine having turbine discs includes a low diameter turbine rotor clamp for securing the turbine discs together. The rotor clamp includes a clamp sleeve, a clamp cylinder adapted to be threadably engaged to the clamp sleeve to apply an axial force on the turbine discs being coupled together. The rotor clamp includes an anti-score ring positioned between the bore of a turbine disc and the clamp cylinder and a lock tube used to prevent unwanted rotation of the clamp cylinder with respect to the clamp sleeve.
