Description
The Critical Speed Apparatus is used to study rotating shaft criticality by practical experiment. The apparatus is equally suitable for student experiments or demonstrations.
The bench mounted apparatus consists of a flexible steel shaft which is driven by a variable speed motor.
The shaft is mounted in two pivoting bearings which can be clamped in any position along the machine bed. A flexible coupling links the shaft to the motor and permits the shaft to adopt its true shape.
The shown photo is indicative. The overall shape of the apparatus will be the same.
