Although jet engines are theoretically quite simple devices, in reality they tread a fine line between working as intended ...

High-speed turbine rotor balancing was once rare because of the costs and logistical challenges involved in doing it during an outage. That’s begun to change as economic options emerge, and experience ...

Automatic ball balancing systems have emerged as a pivotal innovation in managing rotor dynamics by counteracting the adverse effects of mass imbalance. These systems, comprising balls that are free ...

It was a deceptively simple board — ‘Rotor machining, balancing facility.' But what surprised a team of journalists from India and France was the nearby big, long tunnel at the floor level. It had ...

The overall size scale of our actuator is of the order of ∼300 nm and its components are integrated on a silicon chip. Low-level externally applied voltages precisely control the operation speed and ...

Southern California Edison’s (SCE) 2,250-MWe San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) recently took receipt of a new and upgraded generator rotor for one of its two Alstom steam turbine generator ...
