R & D Dynamics Corporation products

Their compliant foils conform to the size and shape of the mating rotating shaft. During operation, the rotating shaft of an oil-free high speed turbomachine is supported on a thin, self generated film of high pressure air or gas. A pair of foil journal bearings provide radial support, and a pair of foil thrust bearings absorb axial load. Foil air/gas bearings have demonstrated high load carrying capacity, good stability characteristics, and extraordinary durability.

R&D Dynamics designs, develops, and produces high speed motor driven compressors and blowers for a variety of applications. Blowers (pressure ratio <2.0) and compressors (pressure ratio >2.0) range in size from 100 watts to over 100 kW, all using oil-free foil air/gas bearings for a long service life.

R&D Dynamics designs, develops and manufactures a complete range of high speed oil-free foil air/gas bearing supported. turboexpanders.Turboexpanders are essential components in air separation, oil and gas exploration, and cryogenic refrigeration systems. R&D Dynamics’ proprietary TurboEx® design provides high reliability, high efficiency and completely oil-free operation. TurboEx® turboexpanders range in size from 1 to 400 kW with flows from 200 to 80,000 lbs/hr, and are designed to work with many different gas types. Whether you are designing a new system, or retrofitting an existing system, a TurboEx® turboexpander will improve reliability and reduce maintenance downtime.

R&D Dynamics designs, develops and manufactures oil-free, foil air bearing supported turbocompressors that are turbine-driven for various applications.

R&D Dynamics CENVA® family of energy efficient vapor cycle compressors have been developed for use in aerospace, industrial, and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Ranging in size from 10 to 100 tons of refrigeration capacity, all feature oil-free foil gas bearing technology.
