Abstract
A locking element for a row of blades of a turbomachine includes a number of blades that are inserted by their roots in an anchoring groove on the rotor side and are thereby held in the radial direction in form-fitting manner in the anchoring groove. The locking element has a basic body that has a front bearing surface and a back bearing surface for form-fitting with opposite-lying groove surfaces, a front lock projection and a back lock projection for engaging in opposite-lying recesses of the anchoring groove, and a threaded region for interacting with a tightening element. Access to the threaded region for the tightening element is blocked on one side.
