Active magnetic bearing and air foil bearing technologies are both excellent solutions for high-speed applications, such as turbo blowers. They are virtually maintenance-free as they operate without lubrication while offering low friction.
However, with decades of experience in high-speed turbo blower design and manufacturing, AERZEN believes in air foil-bearing technology as the most efficient and reliable of the two options.
Simple and Effective: Air as Bearing System
AERZEN high-speed turbo blowers feature a simple yet effective construction and functional principle. Instead of oil or other lubricants, our high-speed turbo blowers use air in their bearing system to ensure increased reliability and help customers reduce their energy consumption and operating costs.
The primary features of the AERZEN air bearing system include:
– A theoretical bearing lifetime of at least 80,000 operating hours
– High performance without extra features such as emergency bearing, electric control system,
and auxiliary air foil bearings.
– Excellent operational reliability, even with voltage fluctuations and power failures
– Insensitive to pressure peaks and compressor (surge)
– Unlimited start/ stops per hour
