Active foil bearings

Vibration control under various operating conditions

Safer operation

ACTIVE FOIL BEARING

The active foil bearing enables the vibration control of the rotor during operation. This solution improves the operational safety and reliability of the entire system by minimising the initial friction torque and resonant vibrations. This extends the service life of the bearings.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The website contains information on a research project carried out at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdańsk.

The design of the active foil bearing is unique; no other companies are offering similar solutions. The developed design is the result of many years of development of foil bearings and a research project that resulted in the development of an active foil bearing. Experimental and numerical research was conducted at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP PAN) in Gdańsk. The proposed technical solutions are unique in the world.

RESEARCH TEAM

The team responsible for the active foil bearing research project at Active Bearing consisted of 13 outstanding specialists whose cooperation within the scientific project lasted for 3.5 years. They included rotor dynamics experts, foil bearing specialists, materials engineers, numerical analysts, experimental scientists and automation engineers. Each of them brought unique experience and knowledge, which allowed for an interdisciplinary approach to the project. Their joint efforts led to the creation of foil bearing technology, the innovation of which is considered unprecedented on a global scale.

PROJECT HISTORY

Foil bearings were developed at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences for more than 10 years. On the basis of these experiences, the research project ‘Leader’ was carried out, which involved the creation of an active foil bearing. Below is information on the funding of this project:
