Magnetic levitation turbo pumps

Magnetic bearing pumps repaired and tuned as a set with the controller

We repair magnetically levitated turbo pumps from eight major brands, and we test and tune each pump with its controller and cable as one set. That's how levitation, bearing sensor and spin-up faults get traced instead of swapped.

Maglev and lubricated bearing pumps, compared

A maglev pump holds its rotor in place with magnetic bearings controlled by electronics, with backup bearings for touchdowns. A lubricated bearing pump runs its rotor on mechanical bearings with a lubricant supply. Both need different repair skills, and we handle both in-house.

Because the electronics are part of the bearing system, many maglev faults live in the controller, the cable or the match between them. That's why we ask for all three.

Common questions

Why do you want the controller and cable with a maglev pump?

A maglev pump and its controller work as one system. Testing them together lets us trace faults that only appear in the pair, then tune the pump, controller and cable to each other.

Which maglev brands do you repair?

Alcatel / Adixen, Ebara, Edwards / Seiko Seiki, Leybold, Mitsubishi, Osaka, Pfeiffer and Shimadzu. Send the model and serial number to confirm yours.

Can you fix a maglev pump that touched down?

A touchdown can damage the backup bearings and the rotor. Test and evaluation shows what needs replacing, and we quote before any work starts.
