Friction producing stator pad for an air driven centrifuge

摘要

An air driven centrifuge which utilizes a stator with a floating stator pad for alleviating excessive vibration of the rotor associated with critical rotating speeds. The floating stator pad incorporates means for increasing the friction between the pad and the stator in order to increase the ability of the stator pad to provide greater dampening of the rotor for improving the smoothness and stability of its operation.
