Abstract:
The rotor initial unbalance of an aeroengine gas generator of turboshaft engine seriously affects rotor assembly process. To reasonably optimize rotor assembly process, the effect analyses of rotor initial unbalance of single disc and combined discs on rotor dynamic characteristics are firstly implemented in respect of the dispersity of rotor initial unbalance. It is found that the most important factors contributing to rotor vibration are the unbalances of the first stage compressor disc and the second stage turbine disc. However, reducing the mass of two discs conflicts with the control of the whole gas generator rotor balance resulting from the unbalance increase of single components. Thus, we further analyze the key control factors of affecting rotor initial unbalance, and give the strict control measures of centrifugal impeller runout in the assembly process by adjusting the angle of central tie rod axis. The purpose of this measures to make the assembly process simpler and more effective for timely controlling rotor initial unbalance. The efforts of this study validate that the proposed method is workable for the rotor tightened by a central tie rod and possesses the significant meaning of practical application in engineering.
