Session description
SKF is a global leader in bearing and sealing technologies, offering advanced solutions to improve reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Among its innovations, Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) are key enablers in high-performance systems.
AMBs allow contactless shaft rotation using real-time electromagnetic control. This eliminates mechanical wear, reduces maintenance, supports high-speed operation, and enables integrated monitoring.
Widely used in turbo compressors, blowers, chillers, and air compressors, AMBs are valued for their reliability and performance. In turbo systems, they reduce unplanned downtime and extend equipment life.
Compared to mechanical and airfoil bearings, AMBs offer superior dynamic stability, higher load capacity, ...
