Composite type flywheel rotor - has parts joined coaxially by elastic intermediate component

摘要

The rotor is partic. for use as a flywheel accumulating energy, and is in two or more parts joined coaxially by an intermediate component. The intermediate component (4, 5) is elastic, and can be a thin-walled cylinder joined at the ends to the parts of the rotor, with openings in its walls at regular intervals round the periphery. A damping layer can be applied to the surface of the intermediate component, of solid material with good inherent damping characteristics. Alternatively, this layer can be situated between the walls of a double-walled intermediate component.
