The article focused on how magnetic bearings offer a new way for companies to save money by reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs while also providing environmental benefits. Unlike so many other “green” technologies, our “clean” magnetic bearings, high speed electrical machines, and high frequency power conversion systems are available today at price levels that are competitive with “dirty” oil-lubricated systems. This article follows a recent article in the New York Times on our Fusion® bearings. We are thrilled to see our message getting out to a much broader audience.
