Critical speed is the rotational speed at which a rotating shaft reaches natural frequency resonance. Operating above or below critical speed is essential.

सूत्र

Calculate: N_crit = (60 × √(g × δ)) / (π × √(W/g))
W
W value — Variable used in the calculation

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Calculate: N_crit = (60 × √(g × δ)) / (π × √(W/g))
  2. 2Or use stiffness and inertia: ω_n = √(k/I)
  3. 3Operating speed should be <70% or >130% of critical

हल किए गए उदाहरण

इनपुट
Shaft natural frequency 3000 rpm
परिणाम
Operating range <2100 rpm or >3900 rpm safe
Avoid 2100-3900 band

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Operating continuously near critical speed
  • Under-estimating critical speed (causes resonance)

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What happens at critical speed?

Resonance causes excessive vibration, noise, and potential failure from fatigue.

Can you operate near critical speed briefly?

Yes, passing through critical speed quickly during startup/shutdown is acceptable.
