A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

A ROTATING shaft can exhibit torsional vibration when, because the dynamic coefficient of friction is less than the static value, the frictional force at the bearings supporting the shaft decreases as ...

All rotating equipment power trains found in a power plant have some amount of vibration, usually caused by mechanical unbalance of the rotating system, shaft misalignment, or weakness in the bearing ...

In many four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, steel driveshafts are segmented to provide necessary torque and vibrational performance characteristics. Unlike these segmented steel ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...

Assuming you're not driving over pea gravel or experiencing an earthquake, unwanted vibrations coming through the steering wheel or floorboards can not only be a nuisance, but also detrimental to your ...

Torque spikes can melt elastomers and damage couplings. Learn how to prevent it. Torsional vibration is an occurrence that can have a negative effect on coupling elastomer elements. It can also have a ...
