Abstract:
A de-oiler balance weight for a rotor disk stack susceptible to collecting oil is provided. The rotor disk stack is configured for use in a gas turbine engine. The de-oiler balance weight comprises a front wall having a first mounting aperture and a first outboard end. An aft wall has a second mounting aperture and a second outboard end. An inboard wall connects the front wall and the aft wall and defines a recess therebetween that is configured to receive a flange portion of a rotor disk in the rotor disk stack. A channel extends at least partially through the de-oiler balance weight for directing the oil away from the rotor disk stack.
