What are magneto bearings and where can they be used?

Magneto bearings are a type of deep groove ball bearing that only have one shoulder. They also have a slightly shallower inner groove making them easier to fit.

Where can they be used?

Magneto bearings can be used in various applications where there is a need for high precision and low friction, including high-speed motors, aerospace components and medical devices. They are well-suited for applications where traditional bearings would fail due to the high speeds and demanding operating conditions. Magneto bearings are commonly found on generators, motors and vintage vehicle engines.

How do they work?

Magneto bearings use the principles of electromagnetic levitation to suspend the shaft in the air. Electromagnets are used to create a magnetic field that interacts with the magnets on the shaft, causing it to float.

Low-cost solution

These bearings are a relatively low-cost solution for demanding applications. When compared to other types of frictionless bearings, such as air bearings or fluid bearings, magneto bearings have the potential to be less expensive and easier to maintain.

What are the main benefits?

The main advantage of magneto bearings is their frictionless operation. This means that they can operate at high speeds with very little wear and tear. Additionally, they are maintenance-free and have a long lifespan.
