Rotor dynamics

Rotor dynamic design and balancing: the combination of theory and practice as well as exact science and accumulated experience is the key to success.

Rotor dynamics

Rotor dynamic calculations must be performed to guarantee safe operation of the rotor. Rotor dynamics are directly related to the motor and gas bearing design, as the size of the motor’s magnet has a direct influence on rotor dynamics performance, and deformations due to bending modes and eigenmodes must be taken into account in the bearing design. Celeroton uses its own design software for the rotor dynamic design, which is integrated in the gas bearing design software. The rotor dynamic design is also strongly linked to the manufacturing and balancing of the rotor. Celeroton combines the know-how in rotor dynamic design, the balancing and the validation of rotor dynamics via sensors under one roof. This unites theoretical and practical innovation, expertise and experience at the highest level.

High-speed magnetic bearing chopper for infrared nanospectroscopy

Infrared (IR) nanospectroscopy is a non-destructive method for the analysis of molecular structures below the wavelength scale. It is used in a broad range of research applications spanning from biochemistry to geology. A magnetic bearing chopper is a core component to bring this IR method to the next level of spatial resolution. It provides the beam chopping functionality in vacuum, at high frequency and with very low jitter.
