Description: In solid mechanics, in the field of rotordynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity that excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller, leadscrew, or gear. ; Name: crit. speed
Description: Speed of rotation at which the frequency of vibration (or its multiples) corresponds to the rotor resonant (lateral or torsional) ; Name: Critical speed
Description: average speed given by the stroke length multiplied with the number of complete pumping cycles of the piston, plunger or piston attached to the diaphragm per minute (stroke per minute or pump crank speed); Name: piston velocity
