An apparatus for electromagnetically and rotationally vibrating a rotary body that is supported by bearings. The apparatus comprises a ring-shaped magnet bipolarly magnetized and mounted coaxially on a shaft of the rotary body, a ring-shaped stator having a coil and adapted to generate a rotating magnetic field by controlling an electric current supplied to the coil, and a frequency variable vibration power source adapted to supply alternating electric power to the coil in the stator. The distance between a location of a magnetic pole in the stator and an axis of the shaft is different than the distance between a location of a magnetic pole in the magnet and the axis of the shaft. The magnet and the stator are disposed so as to be adjacent to each other. Thus a rotational exciting force is applied to the rotary body by an interaction of the rotating magnet field generated by the stator with the magnet. This electromagnetic rotary vibrator can be applied to a damper for offsetting the unbalanced vibration of a rotary body.

Electromagnetic rotary vibrator for a rotary body

Electromagnetic rotary vibrator and damper for a rotary body

A method and apparatus for evaluating the vibration of a rotary body in a static or non-rotational state to determine a profile of critical speeds including profiles of critical speeds which exist beyond a rated revolution velocity of the rotary body. This invention comprises: a plurality of bearings for maintaining the rotary body in a non-rotating or static condition; a rotary vibrator for applying an exciting force which is rotated about a shaft to the rotary body; a vibration sensor for detecting the vibration of the rotary body; a vibration meter for measuring an output from the vibration sensor; and a vibration power source for supplying AC power to the rotary vibrator and for sweeping a frequency of the exciting force applied from the rotary vibrator to the rotary body from a low-frequency region to a high-frequency region. Thus, the present invention obtains the vibrational characteristics of the rotary body in a simulated rotational or dynamic state in which the rotating body is actually maintained in a static or non-rotational state.
