Magnetic system
23 April 2015
Combining a high-speed permanent magnet motor and active magnetic bearings with integrated controls, SKF has launched a new magnetic system, an oil- and contact-free drive solution for centrifugal compressors in chillers.

The magnetic system can operate with variable speed drives from various manufacturers to deliver energy savings of at least 10% versus conventional centrifugal compressor designs.
In addition, the system’s vibration- and nearly friction-free performance capabilities enable extremely quiet operation.
