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: Speed that characterizes a pump in terms of its speed, flow rate per impeller eye, i.e. total flow for single-flow impeller, half flow for double-flow impeller, at the best efficiency point and head per stage at maximum impeller diameter ; Name: Specific speed
