Description: Critical speed (nk) is the rotational speed at which acting dynamic forces cause a machine component (e. g. shaft, rotor) to vibrate at its natural frequency (also referred to as intrinsic frequency, fi) and can even result in resonant vibrations throughout the entire machine and pump set; 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: A group of components with the same construction features and the same structure, which - due to similar manufacturing techniques - can be collated for construction approval testing and class conformity controls. They are generally allocated to a construction type. Note: in certain cases, components can be viewed from various construction type specifications as belonging to the same type and, therefore, can be collated for construction approval and class conformity controls; Name: Construction form of the travel wheel
