Abstract
Radial magnetic bearings () of a centrifugal gas compressor () may lose power and fail to support the shaft () resulting in damage to the shaft (). Auxiliary bearings () may be used to support the shaft () during such a failure. A landing guard () may be installed as a sacrificial piece between the shaft () and the auxiliary bearings (). Landing guard () includes slots () that may be used with pins () in the shaft () to prevent an angular displacement between the landing guard () and the shaft ().
