AIR FOIL BEARING

Technology that nurture mankind and nature is what Turbomann aiming. Turbomann is looking beyond technolgy that will last centuries.

Air bearing?

a bearing that lubricates the rotating machine using the surrounding air without using lubricating oil
It is often referred to as an air foil bearing, but its flexibility and the possibility of low-cost bristles are high.

Since the 1970s, foil bearings have been used in air cooling machines (ACMs), the core component of controlling pressure and temperature in cabins, and are the most appropriate
examples of use You can see it. In this application, the foil bearing does not have an oil system, so it does not contaminate the cabin and functions stably for a sufficiently long time
compared to the ball bearing without a fixed maintenance schedule. In addition, the turbo components are rarely damaged in the event of bearing breakage, and the foil biling used
in the Boeing 747 operates for more than 100,000 hours without repair.

Military bearings require higher speed, poor environment and shock resistance, and BLDC motors provide higher efficiency at higher speeds, thereby requiring higher suitable bearings.
In general, oil lubricating bearings cannot provide this performance requirement. As a result, it is known that the foil bearing is optimal to apply a high-speed motor, and structurally
sufficient unalignment, heat, and vibration are required It has the advantage of being able to withstand it.

As a result, air foil bearings are the best solution for high speed motors that require operations in extreme high and high temperatures and high temperatures.
