Abstract

A rotor, in particular a gas turbine rotor, having multiple rotor discs, each of which has an axial through-opening, and the rotor discs are axially clamped by at least one tie rod extending through the through-openings and are combined so as to form at least one rotor disc unit. At least one support ring which surrounds the tie rod and is in engagement with a paired rotor disc rests against the outer diameter of the tie rod, and the tie rod is supported against the rotor disc by the support ring. In order to axially secure the at least one support ring, at least one securing ring is provided which is secured to the paired rotor disc by a rotational lock and which holds the support ring against the rotor disc. The securing ring is prevented from unscrewing by a securing plate.
