HIGH-SPEED ROTATION SYSTEM

摘要

A high-speed rotation system susceptible to vibration includes a relatively thin and flexible shaft which has first and second ends, a rotating member disposed on the first end of the shaft, and a planetary gear including a torque-transmitting sun gear which is connected to and restrains the second end of the shaft. A magnetic bearing surrounds at least part of the rotating member for damping the vibration of the rotation system.
