Abstract

A stator for a turbo-engine and a method for mounting the stator serve to improve fixing of the vanes of the stator and resistance of these vanes to impact in the event foreign bodies enter the turbo-engine. The stator includes several vanes radially maintained by their external and internal pivots between an internal ferrule and an external casing. The internal ferrule includes at least one bore intended to receive one of the internal pivots and the external casing includes a mechanism for the radial positioning and locking of the vane so as to make it possible to keep the internal pivot of the vane in the bore.
