Mecos Traxler AG is the world's largest privately owned and independent company for the development and production of Active Magnetic Bearing systems.
More than 30 highly motivated people develop and produce magnetic bearings for industrial use. We are covering every phase from concept through prototyping to serial production.
Mecos Traxler AG is the leading partner if it comes to the industrial application of Active Magnetic Bearings. Customers worldwide in the fields of turbo-machinery, turbomolecular pumps or motors and generators highly estimate our long-term experience and the beneficial cooperation.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
Electromagnets hold the rotor in a levitated position. They generate the bearing forces in active magnetic bearing systems. The rotor position is monitored constantly by a set of sensors which transmit signals to a digital controller at a rate of up to 10'000 cycles per second.
The controller then measures any possible deviation of the rotor from its nominal position and supplies the current signal required to maintain rotor stability. A power amplifier finally transforms this signal into an electrical current for the magnetic bearing coils.
