ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (120) for intermittent support of a rotatable shaft (22) comprises an axial collar (120) substantially coaxial with the shaft (22) and fixed thereabout for rubbing contact with the shaft (22) only after the shaft deflects a predetermined amount from its rotational axis (140) to alter the bending mode of the shaft (22) thereby increasing the first order critical speed of the shaft (22) to a level above the maximum speed at which the shaft (22) may be driven to prevent excessive vibration and consequent damage to the shaft (22), associated end couplings (35,56) and housing (78,84,92).
