High Performance Permanent Magnet (PM) Motors and Generators

Calnetix designs, develops and manufactures a wide range of power and speed PM motors and generators for a variety of applications and industries. Calnetix has the largest installation of high speed PM motors and generators in the field.

The range of PM motors and generators varies from only a few watts to MW power levels with speeds from 4,000 rpm to 450,000 rpm. These PM machines operate at very high efficiencies, whether converting mechanical power to electrical or converting electrical power to mechanical.

The current designs in the field have accumulated well over 100 million running hours. The large amount of designs, extensive operating hours and proven reliability has placed Calnetix as the world leader in high speed PM motors and generators.

Each PM design is customized to optimize the OEM’s system for its specific application. Calnetix offers an unique, in-house capability to integrate the electromechanical components to the OEM's system in a short amount of time, from design to production.

High Performance motors and generators offer the following benefits:

  • High system efficiency
  • Minimal system size with higher speed and optimized magnetic performance
  • Optimization for specific applications
  • High temperature operation
  • Direct drive to eliminate gearbox
  • Cost effective
