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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

They're lightweight with straightness and lateral stiffness that boost stability at higher speeds. Line shafts, also known jackshafts and torque tubes, span long distances to connect other power ...

In the world of motion applications, the use of mechanical line shafts may be declining as their electronic counterparts come up, but machine builders still must address vibration, torsion elasticity ...

Toro says its RT600 trencher is the only trencher in its class using a flywheel, torsion shaft and planetary gear reduction system. The flywheel minimizes trencher stalls, the torsion shaft absorbs ...

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 ...

Shafts are fundamental components in a wide range of engineering applications, from automotive and aerospace to industrial machinery. The integrity of these elements is critical, as failure not only ...
