SKF Magnetic System
Energy-efficient solution for centrifugal blower compressors
Higher reliability with SKF magnetic system
Highly efficient (up to 98%), extremely compact in size and robust, the SKF permanent magnet motor is particularly well-suited for centrifugal air compressors and blowers. Unlike induction motors with gear boxes and mechanical bearings, the high-speed direct-drive SKF permanent magnet motors equipped with magnetic bearings offer the following advantages:- A 10%+ increase in energy efficiency vs. conventional bearings
- Variable speed for a wide operating range including operation close to a surge line
- Compact design, smaller footprint
- Reduced maintenance demands and costs
- 100% air – no oil residues and zero contamination
- Significant noise reduction
