• Magnetic bearing controller

    Precise control at rotating speeds over 60,000 rpm

     The magnetic bearing controller from SKF provides absolute precision at very high speeds.

    The electronic controller is the brains of the aeration blower solution from SKF as it evaluates input from the position sensors and determines what the necessary response should be. The rotor position is continuously corrected by adjusting the power supplied to each electromagnet. The controller performs its calculations thousands of times per second.

    Tracks and registers rotor position up to 15,000 times per second

    Controls rotor position to within a micron-sized orbit

    Continuously corrects rotor position by adjusting the power supplied to each electromagnet
