Revolution at high speed: unlocking the power of solid-rotor technology

Dr. Panu Kurronen traces the evolution of solid-rotor technology from its beginnings as a research project at Lappeenranta University of Technology to its proven success in applications such as vacuum pumps, high-speed compressors and heat pumps. Thanks to its simple and robust design, The Switch solid-rotor technology delivers exceptional performance in megawatt-class applications, enabling higher power output at increased speeds with outstanding reliability. Since the first prototype was introduced in 1997, The Switch technology has achieved an unmatched record of zero rotor failures.
