Aim: To monitor and predict the spinning motion of the rotating shaft on its own axis.
Materials Required:
1. Shaft: The important focus of the experiment is shaft, as our aim is to anticipate the
shaft's whirling. The material used up to make shaft is steel. We have effective length
and diameter of shaft for further calculation. The supporting bearings provide support
for shaft.
2. Control unit: The primary function of the control unit is to control the rotational
speed of the shaft. We can see the shaft rotating speed as well. Likewise, there is a
power supply unit inside control unit which supplies power to motor.
3. Digital Vernier calliper: Measurement of the shaft's diameter is carried out using a
digital vernier caliper which is necessary for determining the theoretical angular
velocity.
4. Motor: The reason for the shaft rotation in this lab experiment is the speed of the
motor. We can see the linkage of the shaft to the motor.
5. Scale: We can see a scale in the experiment to measure the vertical and horizontal
distance of vibrations of the shaft when the rotational speed of the shaft changes.
Theory: Critical speed is the speed at which a rotating shaft at high speed will show
strong vibrations in the transverse direction when the shaft rotates in the horizontal
direction. It is also called as the whirling speed. Generally, resonance occurs at
Critical speed. As, no any shaft is perfectly balanced a shaft will bend when it is
subjected to the rotation. During rotation the centre of mass of shaft will come into
contact with moment of inertia force due to which bending occurs. Bending is resisted
by the stiffness of the material of the shaft.

Procedure:
1. First of all, measure the diameter and the effective length of the shaft using vernier
calliper and a scale.
2. Similarly, before operating the motor close the safety glass of the shaft holder to
prevent any danger.
3. Then supply the power to the motor through the supply unit and gradually
increase the angular velocity or critical speed.
4. With the gradual increment in the whirling speed the displacement of the shaft
occurs.
5. Note the down the displacement of the shaft in both horizontal and vertical
direction with the help of scale.
6. At the end after getting maximum value of displacement in both directions
decrease the speed of the motor.
7. Shut down the power supply.
