CENTRIFUGE DRIVE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: centrifuge drive has a case filled with liquid, supporting cylindrical float, damping cylindrical shell installed in a spaced relation equidistantly to the float and attached to the case by flexible ties, flexible hinge joint coupled the centers of the float and case bottoms, rotor secured on the float end and flexible shaft connected to the reduction gear output shaft, its input shaft is connected to the electric motor shaft. The supporting cylindrical float is provided with plates attached from the outside radially to its bottom, each plate is bent in such a manner that in cross section it has an aerofoil profile, the plates are located under the bottom at a distance exceeding the thickness of boundary layer of liquid on it. EFFECT: improved design. 2 dwg
