Abstract
The material settling on the inside of the centrifuge drum during operation of centrifuges causes imbalances on account of the unavoidable nonuniform mass distribution, which imbalances lead to vibrations and the associated high level of solid-borne sound and bearing wear. The centrifuge drum shaft (15) is supported by an active (variable pressure) hydraulic bearing support (10) that is relatively simple in design and inexpensive to manufacture for this centrifuge application.
