    Abrupt decrease in vibration on runup

    Thanks for everyone's comments. I think there is clearly a radial shaft resonance in the high vibration area, but I still don't understand the sub-synchronous vibration that occurs at the same time. I am wondering if the rubber mounting of the outer race of the bearing is at play here.

    Abrupt decrease in vibration on runup

    On a high speed, well balanced rotor, when running up in speed, there is a speed where vibrations start to increase significantly. At this point, increasing the power does not increase rpm very much, but does increase vibration. After considerable increase in power and subsequent slight...
