The present invention concerns a turbomachine hub, intended to be mounted so as to be able to rotate about a longitudinal axis (X) of the turbomachine, the hub comprising a main body (1) arranged around the longitudinal axis (X), an outer surface of which has a plurality of recesses; a plurality of platforms (3) comprising an outer surface delimited by a circular outer edge of radius r, each platform (3) being arranged in a corresponding recess of the plurality of recesses of the main body (1), and intended to receive a variable pitch blade (2), the pitch of which is variable according to a pitch change axis (Z), the platform (3) being centred and able to rotate about the pitch change axis (Z); characterised in that, for each platform, at least one part of the outer surface of the platform (3) and the main body (1) of the hub comprises a curvature defined by a same sphere portion of radius R and centre C, the at least one part being situated at the outer edge of the platform (3), in a junction zone between the platform (3) and the main body of the hub (1), the centre C of the sphere being situated on the pitch change axis (Z) outside a hemispherical zone delimited between the longitudinal axis (X) and the outer surface of the platform (3).
A turbomachine hub to be mounted in rotation along a longitudinal axis of a turbomachine, the turbomachine hub comprising a main body disposed around the longitudinal axis, of which an outer surface has a plurality of housings;
