    Twice running speed frequency

    From a Hp Agilent brochure I quote "The key distinguishing feature is a high 2x component, especially in the axial direction." The cause is misalignment of the bearings. This brochure can be found at http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5962-7276E.pdf Title: Effective Machinery...

    Ball bearing spin to roll ratio recommendation

    I am in the process of choosing hybrid ceramic ball bearings for a high speed alternator (turbo-generator) application and would like recommendations as to good spin to roll ratios. Various ball bearing design programs will predict the ball to spin ratio under specific loading and speed, but...

    Hexane mean free path

    I am looking for the mean free path of Hexane gas (at 0.7 bar 80 deg C) or a way of calculating it. If I knew the molecular diameter I could calculate it from that - but I have had no luck on the web as yet.

    PEEK creep data for glass filled

    I am trying to design using glass filled PEEK (for example Vitrex 450GL30) for a lifetime of 20000 hours under 10 MPa stress at 100 deg C. I need the creep properties (eg modulus) to allow me to calculate the strain after this time? Thanks.

    High Efficiency Bearings

    Depends on life required but to reduce drag: 1) Use smallest diameter bearings possible (push design). 2) Remove seals and lubricate with small amount of oil. 3) Use ceramic hybrid deep groove ball bearings (off the shelf). Good luck - and let us know the result.
