Turbo pump with air vane bearing
The motor will lose power when the power is suddenly cut off and will rotate much more slowly. The air film between the air bearing and the fan shaft, caused by the high rotational speed, will then disappear. This can lead to serious impacts and friction between the bearing and the shaft, potentially causing bearing wear or even damage to the air bearing.
Turbo Pneumatic Bearing Sudden Power Failure The motor will lose power when the power is suddenly cut off and it will rotate more slowly. Then the air film between the air bearing and blower shaft caused by the high rotary speed will disappear. This will cause severe vibration and friction between the bearing and the shaft that may damage the bearing or even shatter the air bearing. Normal StopDuring the normal stop and start phase of the blower, the air film will disappear at low rotational speed. This intense vibration and friction will greatly shorten the life of the air bearing and blower. Frequent stopping and starting will significantly reduce the life of the blower.
