Rod Load, Inertia
Inertia rod load is the force
derived from the acceleration and deceleration of the mass of the reciprocating
components; piston and rod assembly and crosshead assembly. The inertia
rod load is a direct function of the amount of reciprocating mass and
the square of the rotating speed. Inertia rod load always reverses.
Inertia rod load becomes important
in cases of cylinder blow through, single acting conditions and high-pressure
double acting cylinders. Contact Application Engineering for inertia/combined
rod load analysis.
