Centrifugal gas separator with electric motor drive
escribed which employs a vertically oriented centrifuge drum mounted on suitable bearings within a stationary housing and driven by an electric motor. The electric motor is constructed in annular form with its stator portion fixed to the stationary housing and its rotor portion fixed to the centrifuge drum and positioned generally below its stator portion. When the electric motor is energized, the magaetic attraction between its stator and rotor portions tends to lift the centrifuge drum, thereby reducing the weight supported by the bearings and reducing bearing wear. In addition, elastic or magnetic devices are alternatively provided to dampen the vibration of the rotating centrifuge drum. (Official Gazette)
