Continuing a successful collaboration, The Switch has received an order for 86 new high-speed solid-rotor induction motors from a long-term customer. With this latest order, the total number of motors ordered by the customer has increased to nearly 350 units. Deliveries for the new order will ramp up during the second half of 2026, reaching…
High-speed solid rotors are seeing increasing application across industry. At the same time, customers are demanding even greater rotational speeds and power densities – well beyond the traditional operating ranges of 6,000 to 20,000 rpm. Conventional manufacturing methods, however, limit the development of large commercial high-speed solid rotor machines, particularly those exceeding 1,600 kg in…
High-speed solid rotor technology has proven itself useful in nearly every high-speed application. High-speed solid rotors can be used in any application where the load can be connected directly to the electrical machine without a gearbox and the circumferential speed of the rotor is higher than 100 m/s. Developed to address the existing gap between…
In Panu Hava’s previous blog, he discussed the latest technologies and trends in high-speed electric machines in today’s market. In this blog, I would like to describe how The Switch applies these innovations and organizes its processes to successfully build premium electric motors.
