Abstract
A high speed generator with a hydraulic rotor mounting system that dampens rotor vibrations at the rotor's critical speeds. Oil is supplied to a gap formed between the outer race of the rotor bearing assembly and the bearing liner. The oil provides soft bearing support for, and viscous damping of, the rotor.
