Abstract
A twist prevention system for turbomachinery is disclosed. The twist prevention system has a first ring segment pair with a first radially inner ring segment and a first radially outer ring segment and a second ring segment pair having a second radially inner ring segment and a second radially outer ring segment. The ring segment pairs have mutually facing faces. A portion of the face of the first radially inner ring segment overlaps a portion of the face of the second radially outer ring segment in the radial direction.
