Abstract
A support device 10 for counter-rotating elements 12, 14 susceptible of rotating in opposite directions around respective axes X12, X14 includes:—a first 22 and a second 24 support block for the counter-rotating elements 12, 14, and a connecting plate 26, extending bridge-like between the first 22 and the second 24 support block. The plate 26 is flexible to allow variation of the distance between the rotational axes X12, X14 of the counter-rotating elements 12, 14. An actuator 32 acting on the above-said support blocks 22 and 24 is provided to vary the distance between the rotational axes X12, X14 by means of the flexibility of the plate 26.
Claims20
A support device for first and second counter-rotating elements rotatable around first and second respective axes, the device comprising:
- a first support block for supporting said first counter rotating element and a second support block for supporting said second counter-rotating element, and
- at least one connecting plate, extending bridge-like between said first and second support blocks, said at least one plate being flexible and being configured such that a distance between said rotation axes of said counter-rotating elements is variable depending on an amount of flexion of said at least one plate.
