Anatomy of a rotating machine

Power starts
from within.

From the rotor and the magnetic field to the sensors and the control logic; see the parts in one conceptual view.

System components

A levitated rotor, integrated control

01

Stator

The stationary structure and the magnetic field.

02

Rotor

Contactless motion at the centre of the system.

03

Radial and axial bearings

The radial and axial components are part of the locally developed magnetic bearing system.

04

Sensors and the sensor ring

A sensor ring and temperature and speed sensors provide shaft condition data.

05

Control boards

The digital controller and control boards turn position measurement into magnetic-field commands.

06

Control system

A control and monitoring system for high-speed pumps and compressors: temperature, pressure, flow, bearing protection and seal plans.

The rotating machine at work

From the bearing to the control room

Contactless, oil-free rotor levitation with digital position control, for turboexpanders and high-speed compressors.

The magnetic bearing system of the turboexpander on Unit 105 of the 5th South Pars refinery has been developed locally, and was installed and commissioned in 2025/26.
