Whirling Shaft Apparatus & Accessories Model MT 111
Sci-tech Whirling Shaft Apparatus Model MT 111 experimental unit teaches knowledge about how to determine the critical speeds. Illustrative experiments are used to explain resonance and supercritical or subcritical states of a vibrating system. A three-phase motor drives a rotor shaft, onto which one or two masses may be fixed at various distances. The rotor shaft is mounted in two self-aligning ball bearings and connected to the motor via a flexible coupling. The electronically regulated speed can be selected via two potentiometers and is continuously variable. It is displayed on a digital readout by a revolution counter. The position and distances to elements fixed onto the rotor shaft can be read on a scale mounted in parallel to the rotor shaft. A transparent protective cover and safety bearing immediately next to the masses attached to the rotor shaft ensure safe operation. Sci-tech Whirling Shaft Apparatus Model 111 accessory comes with measurement and evaluation software, including sensors, for data capture via PC. Supply Sensor Module needs to be connected for data acquisition.

At a certain speed the imbalance forces of a rotating mass can cause part of the machine or the entire machine to vibrate in resonance with bending vibrations. This speed is known as the critical speed. The rotor and shaft on a motor or a turbine, for example, form a system that can resonate. In rapidly rotating machinery this state presents a danger because it can lead to breakage and damage to the components of the system. To prevent this, the system is operated well above or below the critical speed and quickly driven through the critical speed range. Structural changes, e.g. changes to rigidity, can cause the critical speed to change, meaning the operational requirements have to be adapted.
