Rotor design

OFTTech has many years of experience in the complex design of high speed rotors using the entire range of modern materials, methods and analysis tools, to ensure the best integration of the various elements (electric motors, compressor wheels, turbine wheels, bearings).

The choice of rotor assembly methods, welding, tie-bolts, shrink fits, etc directly affects the final cost and quality of the product and yet these decisions must be taken early in the project. This design-for-manufacture aspect is an essential feature of OFTTech’s high speed rotor design.

OFTTech’s experience covers other types of oil-free technology with projects undertaken using magnetic bearings and non-oil lubricated ball bearings.
