The Advantage Of The AERZEN Air Bearing Technology

Costs and life-cycle costs

The air foil bearing, allowing operation without the need for lubrication and maintenance, provides minimum life-cycle costs for the entire unit. Filtration is the only preventive maintenance which is necessary. The production costs of the complete assembly are very low due to the less expensive bearing technology in comparison to turbo compressors made with magnetic bearing this is a significant benefit in addition to reduced cost of eliminating necessary ancillary components such as bearing controllers, additional electrical filters and uninteruptable power sources.
