What this calculator is for

Relate rotational orders, imbalance force, critical speed, shaft torsion, bearing characteristic frequencies and gear-mesh excitation without diagnostic conclusions. The workflow keeps every assumed property, state and coefficient visible so the result can be independently checked.

1Match the displayed relationship to the real system before entering data.
2Use one consistent unit basis and preserve absolute quantities where stated.
3Compare the intermediate results and retain the model boundary.

Visual explanation

The tailored schematic shows the direction of energy, signal, state change or reliability logic represented by the selected equation.

The governing relationship

Orders scale shaft frequency; imbalance F=meω²; Jeffcott critical speed uses √(k/m); bearing and gear frequencies retain entered geometry.

Keep the boundary visible

Kinematic and lumped ideal relationships only. Measurements do not diagnose faults, establish safe speed or predict remaining life.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the analysis mode that matches the physical model before entering values.
  2. Enter properties, geometry, loads, states and coefficients from one consistent unit and sign convention.
  3. Use the intermediate outputs to audit the relationship, then retain the stated idealization before applying it.

Calculation method

Transparent engineering model

Orders scale shaft frequency; imbalance F=meω²; Jeffcott critical speed uses √(k/m); bearing and gear frequencies retain entered geometry.

The calculator evaluates only the declared relationship and preserves visitor-entered assumptions rather than selecting materials, factors, components or standards.

Worked example

Worked example

A 10 g eccentric mass at 20 mm radius and 1,800 rpm creates about 7.11 N ideal rotating force.

Orders scale shaft frequency; imbalance F=meω²; Jeffcott critical speed uses √(k/m); bearing and gear frequencies retain entered geometry.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Analysis, not approval

Kinematic and lumped ideal relationships only. Measurements do not diagnose faults, establish safe speed or predict remaining life.

Standards and properties

Material properties, allowable values, load combinations, safety factors, correlations, manufacturer data, codes and jurisdictional requirements are not supplied automatically.

Units and precision

Use one consistent unit basis. Results retain working precision but cannot be more accurate than the entered measurements and properties.
