摘要:
An auxiliary bearing system having a sleeve through which a shaft extends. A gap may be defined between the sleeve and the shaft when a primary bearing system supports the shaft, and the sleeve may engage and rotate with the shaft when the primary bearing system does not support the shaft. An oil ring may extend circumferentially around the sleeve and rotate in response to the rotating sleeve when the sleeve engages and rotates with the shaft. The rotating oil ring may distribute lubricant within the auxiliary bearing system.
摘要:
An auxiliary bearing system for a magnetically supported rotor system according to which the auxiliary bearing system includes at least two mounting pad assemblies having compliantly mounted body members.
摘要:
The apparatus includes a resilient mounting for the damping of magnetic bearings. This mount may include a resilient material placed between the magnetic stator and the fixed structure to damp vibrations of the stator induced by variations in the position of the shaft and rotor of the bearing. Alternatively, the resilient material may be placed between successive concentric magnetic rings of the stator. The resilient material is typically an elastomer or a woven metal material with both stiffness and damping properties. The mounting also may consist of separate spring and damping elements. The spring elements can include thin rods or bars which provide both alignment and stiffness. The damping element may consist of a resilient material or a device to provide damping through viscous or mechanical friction configurations.
