High speed shafts

High Speed Shafts - Shafts at 3,000 rpm or higher causes the seal laces to generate even more heat. Balanced seals reduce the pressure and force between the faces, thereby generating less heat. 

Removable high-speed shaft assembly contains the bearings and seals and is easily removed to facilitate servicing.

This equation shows how the shaft deflection is related to speed of rotation. For low speeds (w o) the radius of whirl (r = BS) is practically zero at the critical speed, when a> = o> , r = BS becomes infinite whilst for very much higher speeds B coincides with G. Thus at very high speeds the centre of mass remains at rest and the shaft rotates about this point, i.e. the shaft is selfcentring. This explains why high-speed shafts are usually designed for operation at speeds above the critical whirling speed in order to achieve stability.

As stated previously, signal conditioning techniques make it possible to derive all motion measurements— displacement, velocity, or acceleration—from a measurement of any one of the three. Nevertheless, it is sometimes advantageous to measure velocity directly, particularly in the cases of short-stroke rectilinear motion or high-speed shaft rotation. The analog transducers frequently used to meet these two requirements are... 

The speed of a shaft and the clearance between shaft and bearing will determine the choice of oil. A slow-turning shaft with relatively wide clearance can use heavy or high-viscosity oil, while high-speed shafts with close tolerance bearings require a light or low viscosity oil. 

Turbo compressors are most economical when they operate with large amounts of chlorine. Each unit compresses up to 1800 t/d. In multiple-stage operation, pressures up to 1.6 MPa are reached. Labyrinth seals are used on the high-speed shafts. Require-... 

Belt drives provide one of the simplest forms of speed reduction. A small diameter sheave (belt wheel) is attached to a high-speed shaft, typically from an electric motor (see Figure 21-24). The large sheave turns at the reduced shaft speed and can be attached directly to the mixer shaft. Typical speed reductions with a belt drive are limited to about 4 1. So one common use of belt drives is on sideentering mixers, where an output speed of about 300 rpm can be obtained from a 1200 rpm motor. 

The planetary dual disperser (PDDM) is reportedly ideal for the powerful mixing of high-viscosity applications requiring ultra-fine dispersion quality. The PDDM features four agitators—two planetary stirrers and two high-speed shafts—all rotating on their own axes while orbiting the mix vessel on a common axis. Pictured is a 40-gal model equipped with built-in vacuum pump assembly for operation up to 29.5" Hg. 

The two saw-tooth blades on each high-speed shaft provide intensive shearing action, reportedly promoting solids dispersion and particle size reduction. The planetary stirrers continually turn over batch...
