Abstract
Most rotors are supported in oil-film bearings or in rolling-element bearings. For maintenance free operation and to give high speeds, gas and magnetic bearings are also increasingly being used. The bearings influence the rotor vibrations to a greater or less degree by their dynamic properties in comparison to those of the rotor and the remaining components of the assembly. This influence originates essentially from the ratio of the rotor stiffness to the bearing stiffness. For a relatively elastic rotor the influence of the bearings is small, while the dynamics of a stiff rotor are determined in the main by the bearings.
