This bearing design is used exclusively on the shaft bearing support – the most common bearing support concept. In order to optimise the bearing, both its micro- and macro-geometry were addressed. The ...

Bearings Plus performed a system-level rotordynamic assessment of the turbine, which evaluated the rotor, bearings, and seals. The cause of the vibrations was confirmed to be a flexible rotor ...

This graphic shows rotor-vibration frequency for three common types of vibration in oil-film journal bearings. (From D. F. Wilcock and E. R. Booser, “Bearing Design and Application,” McGraw ...

However, one of the common issues with the 2011-2015 model year versions is the failure of the stator/rotor bearing - this is what happened to WatchJRGo's Volt at around 80,000 miles.

Steam turbine rotors bend during operation, but the bearing and supports are designed to keep the static and dynamic forces under control. However, bending can cause impact between stationary and ...

Long-term storage. If storing a motor more than a month or so, apply a rust inhibitor to exposed machined surfaces and, in ...

Rolling-element bearings in electric motors support and locate the rotor, maintain a small and consistent air gap between the rotor and stator, and transfer loads from the shaft to the motor frame.

The new engine design, known as Open Rotor, is being developed as part of the EU’s huge Clean Sky research programme, in a project called Sustainable and Green Engine (SAGE) demonstrator SAGE2.

The diamagnetic material hovers above a rare-earth ring magnet, supporting a slender vertical shaft that holds the rotor and another magnetic bearing at the top. It’s fussy to adjust, ...
