Siemens hands over first oil-free steam turbine to Vattenfall Siemens has delivered for the first time a steam turbine in the capacity range up to 10 megawatts (MW) that operates almost entirely without lubricants. The bearing systems consist of completely …Read More

AMB technology helps pushing the economy of scale TurboPowerSystems UK wanted to equip their motors for a Compressor System with magnetic bearings to increase efficiency and speed. There are 17 different impeller types to be combined with 2 types of …Read More

Due to recent development, conventional gears can be replaced by powerful magnetic gearing systems. These gears with high-torque capability offer completely new features which are novel to the industry, highly favorable and not known for gears up to now. In …Read More

A clear trend towards smaller systems saving material cost and weight can be observed in many modern drives. By increasing the speed, equal output power can be provided by a much smaller system. Mechanical bearings often limit the maximum speed …Read More

ebmpapst St. Georgen GmbH & Co KG and LCM have jointly developed a magnetically levitated fan. The main focus of the development was to enhance the life time of compact high speed fans. At present, the roller bearings used in …Read More

Machining chatter is a self-excited vibration occuring between the cutting tool and workpiece.  Large amplitude vibrations caused by chatter may lead to damaging the cutting tool and/or the inability to hold part tolerance. It follows that the onset of chatter …Read More
