Abstract

A rotor is provided for an axial-throughflow turbo machine, which carries a plurality of moving blades which are each pushed with a blade root into a rotor groove extending about the axis and are held. The blade root includes a hammer root with a hammerhead and is supported on radial stop faces of the rotor groove which lie further outward in the radial direction, against centrifugal forces acting on the moving blades, and are supported on axial stop faces lying further inward in the radial direction, against axial forces which act on the moving blade. The rotor groove has at its bottom, to reduce thermal stresses, an axially and radially widened bottom region with a continuously curved cross-sectional contour. In such a rotor, an advantageous adaptation of the blading is achieved by the blade root of the moving blades being adapted to the widened bottom region in the radial direction.
