SKF magnetic bearings enable more sustainable production of compressed air
Gothenburg, 10 October 2022: SKF’s magnetic bearings, which can rotate at up to 50,000 rpm are now playing a key role in reducing CO\2\ emissions across a range of industrial applications, including compressors.
SKF’s magnetic bearing technology has been selected by Finnish cleantech company Tamturbo for their high-speed turbo motors used in industrial air compressors.
Compressed air is used in many industrial plants to power machines, tools and automation, as well as to move materials through the production process.
The delivery of compressed air historically makes use of oil-
