Rotordynamic Analysis Services -

At New Way Air Bearings®, we specialize not only in manufacturing products for a wide range of turbomachinery and rotating artifact applications but also in providing fully bespoke systems integration services. As part of our comprehensive approach to designing bearings tailored to your specific needs, we offer in-house Rotordynamic Analysis (RDA) services. RDA is a valuable tool for assessing your existing rotordynamic system, understanding its behavior within a contact-supported environment, and optimizing performance through the design of porous media-based systems.

How It Works

Our Rotordynamic Analysis process begins with gathering essential information about your system, including:

  • Rotordynamic analysisShaft Geometry
  • Shaft Material
  • Added Weights
  • Polar Moments of Inertia
  • Balance Planes
  • Bearing Location

Using this data, we input the parameters into XLRotor to develop a representative model of your system. The outputs and deliverables of our analysis include:

  • Undamped Critical Speed Map
  • Damped Natural Frequency Map
  • Rotordynamic Responses at various locations, speeds, and balance conditions

Speed maps are crucial for identifying resonance conditions and whether the system performs optimally under hard or soft mounting conditions. Rotordynamic analysis is an iterative process, and as part of our commitment to you as a systems integrator, RDA for us is not a “one and done” service. We’ll work directly with your own engineering to iterate on the initial design, understand requirements and make the right adjustments to both the system and its bearing apparatus.

Benefits

Speed maps are crucial for identifying resonance conditions and determining whether the system performs optimally under hard or soft mounting conditions. Our Rotordynamic Analysis is an iterative process, and we are committed to working with your engineering team to refine the initial design, address requirements, and make necessary adjustments to both the system and its bearing apparatus.
