Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1698759A2] The rotor end (1) has a remaining gap which is formed between end blade (2) and an end-piece, in which the two end halves (4) are mounted at safety lugs (8) arranged therein, each as one-piece, which stay in contact with the end blade or with the end-piece. The rotor end has peripheral grooves (3) in which the rotor blades and intermediate pieces are provided. An independent claim is also included for the method for assembly of rotor end in a peripheral groove.
