A rotor for turbomachines having a plurality of blades, and a damping member housed inside a chamber respectively arranged between each pair of adjacent blades of the rotor. The damping member is pushed, in use, by the centrifugal force against two surfaces, each of which is carried by a respective blade, which limit the respective chamber in a radially outward direction. The damping member is cup-shaped and provided with a base wall facing the two surfaces of the chamber and has three support bosses provided on one surface so that at least one of the three will contact one of the two surfaces and at least one other will contact the other of the two surfaces.

Rotor for turbomachines

A rotor for turbomachines with shrouded blades comprising a row of a plurality of blades covered by an external ring, coaxial to said row of blades; the external ring being composed of a plurality of sectors, commonly referred to as shrouds, which are adjacent to one another and transversely and circumferentially attached to the end of respective blades; a damping member being arranged so as to straddle a respective pair of adjacent sectors and being pushed, in use, against radially internal surfaces of the sectors of the pair of adjacent sectors.
