Application Examples
AMBs for flywheels
Teraloop’s flywheels now receive magnetic bearing support from SpinDrive. A successful collaboration delivers its results.
Turbo blower with active magnetic bearings
SpinDrive and Runtech Systems joined together to apply active magnetic bearings to Runtech’s 1MW, 11,5krpm Turbo Blower.
Bearingless Fan
ebmpapst St. Georgen and LCM have jointly developed a magnetically levitated fan. An end to dying electronics because of fan bearing failures is in sight!
