investigation of torsional stiffness and torsional vibrations
Code | TM140 |
Description:
- Torsional vibrations are often observed in belt-driven systems.
- With appropriate excitation of resonances, large vibration amplitudes can occur, which can lead to strong loads on shafts and gears, potentially resulting in damage.
- The TM 140unit can be used to produce free and forced torsional vibrations and to study the effects of torsional stiffness, mass and damping on frequency and amplitude.
- The core of the experimental unit is a metal torsion bar.
- Mass disks with different rotational inertias can be attached to the bar using clamping chucks.
- This allows a torsional vibration system to be created with up to three masses.
- The torsional stiffness can be adjusted by varying the effective bar length.
- An exciter unit driven by an electric motor is used to represent forced vibrations.
- The frequency can be adjusted and read on the control unit.
- A damper makes it possible to set different degrees of damping.
- The torsional vibrations are picked up via rotary encoders on the bearings of the torsion bar and are available on the control unit as an electrical signal.
- All signals are also available via a USBport and can be transferred to a PC.
- The GUNTsoftware allows the signals to be recorded and analysed, for example recording a resonance curve or displaying the natural mode.
