SKF and Wolong Expand Magnetic Bearing & Levitation Motors Businesses
New SKF magnetic bearing factory in Morocco
SKF and Wolong Electric Group are expanding their lines of business
in the growing market for magnetic bearings and high-speed
levitation motors. SKF is opening a new plant in Morocco to ramp
up production of its magnetic bearings and, jointly, the two companies
are cooperating to apply the bearings to more high-speed
motor and drive products.
SKF announced on May 22 that it is increasing its technical and
manufacturing capabilities within magnetic bearings through an
investment totaling SEK 50 million in a new manufacturing site in
Tangier, Morocco. The new site will ramp up operations during the
second quarter and once fully operational, will help meet growing
demand for magnetic bearings used in turbomachinery
and other high-speed applications
such as hydrogen gas liquification and
for oil-free industrial compressors.
" Magnetic bearings have played a key role in
traditional energy segments for many years.
As this technology is now playing a central
role in green industries, we need to make
sure we can maintain our leading position in
terms of technical development and customer
service, " said Thomas Froest, president of
independent & emerging business for SKF.
" Our new site in Morocco is an important step
in this direction. "
Magnetic bearings are one of SKF's technology growth areas. The
group secured a record order intake for these products of over SEK
1 billion in 2022. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, SKF has
more than 42,000 employees worldwide and posted SEK 96 billion
in sales in 2022.
