2.5. Magnetic air bearing turbine type "BTM"
see RT Nr 6350
This turbine has no mechanical shaft; it is centered by the polarity difference between the bear-
ing magnets making it totally frictionless.
The bearing air evenly spread over the stator surface produces an air cushion that pushes the
rotor away from the stator. The rotor can rotate freely, supported by the balance of pressure
and magnetic forces. The air directed onto the turbine blades controls the rotation or braking
of the rotor.
The product is atomized by the centrifugal forces created by the rotation of the bell cup. To
some extent, the size of the atomized particles decreases as the rotation speed increases.
