Abstract
A rotor fixing device for turbines comprising rotor support means independent of the bearing and including an inner ring member split into at least two sections and formed on its inner peripheral surface with grooves complementary with packing teeth formed on an outer peripheral surface of the turbine rotor, and an outer ring member split into at least two sections and secured to a turbine casin for supporting the inner ring member, and means secured to stationary members of the turbine and adapted to be inserted into a space defined between a rotor wheel and a packing case head for constraining axial movement of the turbine rotor. The rotor support means is disposed adjacent each end portions of the turbine rotor. The turbine rotor can be fixedly supported in place in an assembled condition during transportation of the turbine. The rotor fixing device is removed from the turbine after completion of transportation thereof.
