Damping arrangement for rotating shaft

A damping arrangement (1) for damping radial vibrations in a rotating shaft (2), said damping arrangement (1) comprising:

• at least one first damping element (3),
• at least one second damping element (4), and
• a bearing arrangement (5) operably engaging said first damping element (3) and said second damping element (4),
• said bearing arrangement (5) comprising:
• a first bearing member (6),
• a second bearing member (7), and
• a reference (8), at least partially arranged in a nesting configuration,
• said first bearing member (6) being rotatably mounted on said shaft (2) so that radial movement of said shaft (2) is transferred to said first bearing member (6),
• said first bearing member (6) being operably connected to said second bearing member (7) by said first damping element (3) and by a first steering structure (9),
• said first steering structure (9) allowing only reciprocating movement of said first bearing member (6), and said shaft (2), in a first radial direction (D1), and said first damping element (3) dampening said reciprocating movement in said first radial direction (D1) with respect to said second bearing member (7),
• said second bearing member (7) being operably connected to said reference (8) by said second damping element (4) and by a second steering structure (10),
• said second steering structure (10) allowing only reciprocating movement of said second bearing member (7), said first bearing member (6), and said shaft (2), in a second radial direction D2, and said second damping element (4) dampening said reciprocating movement in said second radial direction (D2) with respect to said reference (8),
• said shaft (2), said first bearing (15), said second bearing (16), and said damping arrangement (1) sharing a center axis (A1),
• said first bearing (15) and said second bearing (16) being separated by a distance (d3) along said center axis (A1), and
• said damping arrangement(s) (1) being arranged between said first bearing (15) and said second bearing (16) at a location, along said center axis (A1), where the radial vibrations of said shaft (2) have a maximum amplitude.
