Removably attachable snubber assembly
Abstract
A removably attachable snubber assembly for turbine blades includes a turbine blade airfoil including a trailing edge and a leading edge joined by a pressure side and a suction side to provide an outer surface extending in a radial direction to a tip. At least one snubber attachment platform is integrally formed onto the outer surface of the turbine blade airfoil. The at least one snubber attachment platform includes an interlocking mechanism. A snubber is removably attachable to the at least one snubber attachment platform, the snubber including a first end, a second end, a trailing edge, a leading edge, a snubber length, and a snubber width. The snubber also includes a removable attachment mechanism on at least one of the first end and the second end that connects with the interlocking mechanism on the at least one snubber attachment platform.
