Abstract
A method for mounting rotor blades on a rotor disk along a predetermined pitch circle diameter in such a way that adjacent rotor blades, when properly mounted on the rotor disk and in the cold state, are clamped against each other with a predetermined preload. A clamping device which performs such a method has a plurality of clamping elements which are arranged in a uniformly distributed manner around a central axis, the number of which corresponds to the number of rotor blades to be mounted on the rotor disk and which in each case are designed for the locating of a rotor blade, wherein the clamping elements are moveable radially, exerting a radially inwardly directed force.
