flexural vibration of the elastic shaft
| Code | PT500.10 |
Description:
- This accessory setup enables the response of an elastic rotor to unbalanced excitation to be studied.
- The subcritical, supercritical and resonance running states can be demonstrated.
- A comparison of the orbits (path curves) in the subcritical and supercritical range is of particular interest.
- The field balancing of elastic rotors is another area which can be investigated.
- The supplied pendulum ball bearings ensure full mobility of the shaft.
- The safety bearing limits the amplitudes to harmless values at speeds close to resonance.
- The accessory setup is mounted on the base plate of the machinery diagnostic base system PT 500.
- To measure and evaluate the experiment, the computerised vibration analyser PT 500.04and two displacement sensors PT 500.41 are required.
- It includes all the necessary sensors, a measuring amplifier and analysis software to record the vibration phenomena.
