Automatic ball balancing systems have emerged as a pivotal innovation in managing rotor dynamics by counteracting the adverse effects of mass imbalance. These systems, comprising balls that are free ...

High-speed turbine rotor balancing was once rare because of the costs and logistical challenges involved in doing it during an outage. That’s begun to change as economic options emerge, and experience ...

Mechanical Dynamics and Analysis inspected and repaired an A-10 frame High-Pressure rotor. The unit was a 3600 rpm, 90 MW combined cycle unit. MD&A’s Turbine-Generator Repair Facility performed the ...

Hill Helicopters engineered composite main rotor blades using a novel single-cure manufacturing process for stiffness and ...

Labyrinth seals are critical components in high‐speed rotating machinery, designed to minimise fluid leakage and influence the overall rotordynamic behaviour of the system. They utilise a series of ...
