MECOS

MECOS AG, pioneer of digitally controlled magnetic bearing systems and leading supplier of magnetic bearing technology for industrial use. Active magnetic bearings (AMB) allow contact-free levitation of a rotor, thus enabling new applications. The AMB application range expands from beam shutters, turbo blowers, fly wheels, gas expanders up to multi megawatt pipeline compressors. Among the established bearing technologies magnetic bearings stand out by offering the following benefits: oil- and therefore contamination-free operation, higher speed allowing higher power density, clean operation and increased reliability through contact-free levitation of the shaft, very low vibration levels on the housing and active control of unbalance, operation under stringent environmental conditions.
