Experimental setup of a centrifuge based on an anisotropic gyroscopic rotor in operation

This video demonstrates an oscillogram of the transverse movement of the shaft, obtained during rotor acceleration in the case of using a support material made of OaGRR (oil and gasoline resistant rubber). To measure the transverse displacement of the shaft, a ZET 701 probe is installed at the top of the housing; it is connected to the ZET 7140-s eddy-current displacement sensor, which in turn is connected to the ZET 7001-R measuring-line connector and then to the ZET 7174 interface converter. The interface converter is connected to a computer. A UNI-T UT372 tachometer is used to measure the rotational speed. The amplitude-time (and amplitude-frequency) characteristic is determined by the envelope of the oscillogram of the transverse movement of the shaft, recorded and displayed on the computer display. During the measurement procedures, the ZETLAB [www.zetlab.com] eddy-current sensor software and the UT372 tachometer software will be used. The results of the experimental work are recorded in the ZETLAB [www.zetlab.com] program. The measured data are processed in MATLAB.
