Abstract: A rotordynamic machine for the forwarding of a fluid, such as a turbomachine (2) or a centrifugal pump, has at least one drive and bearing apparatus (1) which is designed as an electrical machine with a stator and with a magnetically journalled rotor (4a). Electrical windings (15, 16) produce the required torque and the magnetic bearing force and are arranged together in the stator. The rotor (4a) forms a section of the shaft (4) of the turbomachine (2) and a control apparatus (7) and excites the two windings (15, 16). A magnetic suspension force acting on the rotor (4a) is produced with the first winding (16) in order to hold the shaft (4) in the radial direction without contact. The torque acting on the rotor (4a) is produced with the second winding (15).

Abstract: Process for the production of a soldered joint. The invention pertains to a soldering process in which thin walled carbon parts are soldered, on a flat side, to silicon carbide parts, for the connection of mechanically and thermally highly stressed parts such as supporting and sliding rings that are utilized in dry gas seals, with the use of a pure silver-titanium solder, having a titanium content of 2-6% by weight, in combination with synthetic graphite and a silicon carbide comprised of silicon, silicon carbide and carbon, whose physical properties are well known, it is possible to produce a durable bond, in a vacuum furnace, by means of a predetermined time/temperature program under suitable conditions, which bond is particularly suitable for the noted supporting and sliding rings utilized in dry gas seals.
