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.
In June, I had the opportunity to visit two trade fairs related to rotating machines and explore the options that are offered today by the market. Read more for a review of the market.
