Permanent magnet machines for marine applications The Switch permanent magnet machines provide maximum flexibility by operating seamlessly as both generators and propulsion motors. Engineered specifically for diverse vessel types, they enable efficient and reliable power transmission while minimizing mechanical complexity. Additionally, we extensively test all permanent magnet machines at our Large Drive Test Center to…
Superior efficiency, reliability and compactness are the core competitive advantages of permanent magnet (PM) machines. With our market-leading position and experience in delivering PM shaft generators, we believe these machines have a big role to play in the electrification of the deep-sea fleet. As shipowners look to lower emissions in line with IMO targets, PM…
It will soon be 10 years since we delivered the world’s first megawatt-class permanent magnet (PM) shaft generators. Using PM shaft generators instead of auxiliary gensets can significantly reduce fuel consumption. This also leads to lower emissions since less fuel needs to be burned. Due to recently tightened emission regulations with the ultimate goal for…
Commissioning the permanent magnet (PM) machine for a marine vessel’s power distribution or propulsion system is the last – yet still crucial – step in a long, complex process. There’s no room for error and little tolerance for delays. Mechanical and electrical interfaces must match. We at The Switch are invested in your vessel’s performance.…

Our fiscal year is not the calendar year. Instead, it runs from March 1 through the end of February, as is typical for many Japanese companies. The Japanese new year starts with the blossoming of cherry trees. And, similarly, our business has been flourishing, too. Our revenue has grown and our profitability improved during the past fiscal year.
