Friction bearing for reducing resonance vibrations
This new type of friction bearing facilitates an effective reduction in resonance vibrations by using a movable friction bearing half-shell which only opens when the critical rotor speeds are passed. The degree of damping increases by enlarging the film thickness of the lubricant over the short-term; as a result, the usual additional externally applied damping means are unnecessary.
