Air compressors
Highly efficient (up to 98%), extremely compact in size and robust, the SKF permanent magnet motor is particularly well-suited for air turbo compressors and blowers. Unlike induction motors with gear boxes and mechanical bearings, the high-speed direct-drive SKF PM-motors equipped with magnetic bearings offer the following advantages:
-
unmatched efficiency at both full load and part load, over 10% above conventional solutions
- variable speed for a wide operating range including operation close to a surge line
- advanced monitoring capabilities of the magnetic bearing control system
- high reliability
- low-noise operation
- no lubricant to process pollution, no oil disposal
