High-speed induction machines
High speed machine highlights
The Switch high-speed induction machines offer quicker deliveries with minimal project-specific redesign work. The shaft end can be adapted to customer needs. The unit is available with feet mounting or flange mounting.
Cooling is modular. A heat exchanger can be used for closed-loop water-to-air cooling. Open cooling is available, or fans can be attached to the shaft. Optionally, a separate electrical fan can be used.

Advantages of solid rotor technology in induction machines
| Simpler | Fewer components and lower investment cost |
| Reliability | 10 years of industrial operation with 0 rotor failure |
| Compact size | 50% less weight |
| Investment payback in 2 years | Profit faster |
The machine structure is more compact and lighter in weight, and requires up to 50% less space than a conventional design. This results in an overall smaller footprint for the entire system. The solid rotor construction provides high mechanical integrity and rigidity. Without the gearbox, you can reach higher system efficiencies.
