2. Foil bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_bearing

   A foil bearing, also known as a foil-air bearing, is a type of air bearing. A shaft is supported by a compliant, spring-loaded foil journal lining. Once the shaft is spinning fast enough, the working fluid (usually air ) pushes the foil away from the shaft so that no contact occurs.

3. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

   The Jeffcott rotor (named after Henry Homan Jeffcott), also known as the de Laval rotor in Europe, is a simplified lumped parameter model used to solve these equations. A Jeffcott rotor consists of a flexible, massless, uniform shaft mounted on two flexible bearings equidistant from a massive disk rigidly attached to the shaft. The simplest ...

4. Spherical roller thrust bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Spherical_roller_thrust_bearing

   A spherical roller thrust bearing. A spherical roller thrust bearing is a rolling-element bearing of thrust type that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. The bearing is designed to take radial loads, and heavy axial loads in one direction. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the ...

5. Balancing machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_machine

   In a soft-bearing machine, balancing is done at a frequency higher than the resonance frequency of the suspension. The suspension's displacement is dictated by the distance of the rotor's principal axis of inertia relative to the rotor's rotational axis defined by the rotor bearings. Both types of machines have various advantages and disadvantages.

6. Tandem-rotor aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem-rotor_aircraft

   This is commonly accomplished by a tail rotor, coaxial rotors, and the NOTAR systems. Tandem-rotor helicopters, however, use counter-rotating rotors, with each cancelling out the other's torque. Therefore, all of the power from the engines can be used for lift, whereas a single-rotor helicopter uses some of the engine power to counter the ...

7. SKF - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKF

   The startup and growth of SKF depends not only on technical inventions but also on industrial and corporate management strategies and power. Axel Carlander was a co-founder of SKF as a co-owner and member of the board of Gamlestadens Fabriker AB, which corporate policy provided conditions for experimenting with the new bearing models and the startup of SKF, and also he was the first chairman ...
