Rotordynamic Design Audits of AMB Supported Machinery
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are a mature bearing technology that is being applied to many new turbomachines. They have become the bearing of choice for most new turboexpander applications. They are seen as a key enabling ...
Journal Bearing Vibration and SSV Hash
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Peculiar, low-frequency, radial vibrations have been observed in various turbomachinery using tilt-pad journal bearings. Unlike discrete subsynchronous spikes that often indicate a serious problem, the vibrations are ...
Fundamentals Of Fluid Film Journal Bearing Operation And Modeling.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film journal bearing is critical to a machine’s overall reliability level. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase making it challenging for the plant ...
