# High and Continuous Operating Speed for Compressors, Fans, and Pumps

## High and Continuous Operating Speed for Compressors, Fans, and Pumps

Electric motors for compressors, fans, pumps, and spindles operate at high speeds continuously. This creates significant centrifugal loads and heat generation in the bearings.

## Operating Features

- High rotation speed (up to 10,000 rpm)
- Continuous operation for long periods
- Significant heat generation
- Centrifugal loads on the cage

## Solutions

Ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings are used for high-speed operation. Bearings with polymer cages are applied. Oil or oil-air lubrication is recommended for high-speed motors.
