Radial bearings
SKF Magnetic bearings has supplied radial actuators manufacturers from 50 to 25,000 N (12 to 5,600 lbf), for shaft diameters ranging from 9 mm to 230 mm (3/8 to 9 inches). These are installed on machines that have rotational speeds ranging from 1,800 rpm to 100,000 rpm. Revolve also supplies canned radial bearing designs for hermetically sealed applications and radial bearings supplier for high temperature applications up to 220°C (428°F).
The radial actuators shown opposite are 4,500 N capacity (1,100 lbf) for a 12,000 rpm turbocompressor with a 120 mm (4.7 inch) shaft.

We specialize in the research & development of active and passive magnetic bearings and suspension systems. We can adapt our proven proprietary designs or research & develop new magnetic professional bearings tailored for your application.
Passive magnetic bearings use opposed pairs of permanent magnets on the rotor and stator to establish the bearing%u2019s stiffness. Inherently simple, these bearings do not require any shaft industrial position sensors or an electronic controller for operation.
Active magnetic bearings offer higher load-carrying capability and can accommodate higher temperatures. Their electronic controllers tune bearing stiffness and damping properties "on the fly," allowing for adjustments to system dynamics that affect resonant frequencies and reduce transmitted vibration. Our proprietary virtual balancing method adjusts the shaft%u2019s running position to minimize vibration.

Your application may lend itself to the use of conical bearings, which can save valuable space by applying both radial and axial forces from the same bearing. SKF has supplied conical suppliers of bearings capable of handling simultaneous loading up to 8,900 N (2,000 lbf) radial and 17,800 N (4,000 lbf) axial.
The conical bearings shown above provide 350 N (78 lbf) capacity in the radial direction, and 450 N (100 lbf) capacity in the axial direction for a vacuum pump running at 38,500 rpm.

SKF Magnetic bearings has supplied thrust professional bearings from 130 to 24,500 N (30 to 5,500 lbf), for shaft diameters ranging from 9 to 130 mm (3/8 to 5 inches). These are installed on machines that have rotational speeds ranging from 1,800 to 100,000 rpm. SKF also supplies canned thrust bearing designs for hermetically sealed applications and thrust bearings for high temperature applications up to 220°C (428°F).
The thrust bearings shown above are 17,000 N capacity (3,800 lbf) for a 12,000 rpm turbocompressor with a 120 mm shaft.

SKF Magnetic bearings offers the world's lowest cost, most capable, magnetic industrial bearing digital control systems %u2013 with features adaptable to your specific needs. Controllers range in size and power to match the dynamic load requirements of your application.
At the core of each controller is SKF's advanced DSP elelctronics and industrial control software. Product testing across numerous applications and customer environments has shown a high degree of user friendliness and reliability.
We have a complete power range to suit nearly any application. Our smallest starts at a compact 2 amps/40 volts for the most sensitive machines with light dynamic loading. Our smaller controllers also include an integrated motor drive for brushless dc motors manufacturers.
For heavier industrial machines the system professional scales up to a powerful 50 amp/200 volt system with intermediate sizes along the way.
