SKF and Sieb & Meyer Announce Strategic Partnership for Magnetic Bearing Solutions
SKF has entered into a strategic partnership with Sieb & Meyer, a renowned specialist in variable frequency drives (VFDs) and control electronics. The collaboration marks an important milestone in delivering integrated, high-efficiency inverter solutions tailored for demanding applications such as air compressors, turbochargers, and HVAC systems.
As part of the agreement, SKF will manufacture VFDs at its own facilities, leveraging Sieb & Meyer’s expertise in high-speed inverter technology. The result will be a seamless plug-and-play solution that simplifies integration, reduces engineering time, enhances system reliability, and ensures scalability for future applications.
The partnership will significantly strengthen SKF’s offering by combining its high-speed electric motors with magnetic bearings and precisely tuned VFDs for optimized performance, energy efficiency, and durability.
“By combining our expertise in magnetic mechatronics with Sieb & Meyer’s VFD technology, we are setting a new standard for high-speed motor systems. This partnership enables us to provide customers with a more complete and efficient solution,” said Frederic Ponson, Director of SKF Magnetic Mechatronics.
“This collaboration is a powerful alignment of expertise. By integrating Sieb & Meyer’s advanced inverter technology with SKF’s high-speed motor systems, we’re delivering a smarter, more efficient solution that meets the evolving demands of HVAC, air compressors, and blower applications. Together, we are establishing a new benchmark in performance and reliability,” added Markus Meyer, CEO of Sieb & Meyer.
Looking ahead, the partnership plans to expand into additional sectors, including boil-off gas compressors and spindle drive systems, broadening the industries that can benefit from this integrated approach.
SKF also emphasized the sustainability benefits of magnetic bearing systems, which eliminate oil-related pollution and reduce energy consumption compared with conventional bearing solutions. In energy-intensive applications such as wastewater treatment, compressed air, and HVAC, high-speed electric motors with magnetic bearings can cut energy use by up to 30%. This translates into overall savings of 10–15% across facilities while helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation.
