SKF Rotor Positioning Sensor-Bearing Unit
High performance electric motor control
SKF sensor bearing solutions help improve the efficiency and robustness of electric drive motors.
Electric and hybrid powertrains are becoming an ever more popular alternative to the internal combustion engine. To satisfy customer demands for more efficient drive motors, industrial motor manufacturers are turning to brushless motors as a solution. This means the demand for efficient and compact electric machines is growing fast. In order to meet the needs of the industry, SKF has developed the SKF Rotor Positioning Sensor-Bearing Unit for brushless permanent magnet motors. These sensor bearing units provide the functionality of both the bearing and the encoder. They are compact and easy to install. The highly reliable sensor sends an analogue signal to the electronic control unit. This is particularly important for controlling torque and energy use during operation, especially during start-up. In addition to stable torque levels and improved efficiency, this solution offers ease of assembly, compactness and resistance to harsh motor environments.
