Recently, professional magnetic levitation equipment developer "Gaofu Power" completed an A++round of financing, with an amount exceeding 50 million yuan. This round of financing was independently invested by Tianying Capital. This round of investment will mainly be used for technology research and market expansion to accelerate the industrial application and promotion of magnetic levitation bearing technology.
Gaofu Power "was established in 2019, headquartered in Beijing, with production bases in Chongqing and Jinan. Relying on independently developed magnetic levitation bearing technology, Gaofu Power develops a variety of products including magnetic levitation high-speed motors, magnetic levitation high-speed centrifugal blowers, compressors, and magnetic levitation energy storage flywheels. These products are widely used in multiple fields such as new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and military civilian integration due to their high efficiency, low energy consumption, low noise, and long service life.
In the industrial field, the maintenance cost, energy consumption, noise pollution, and lifespan issues of traditional motors have always plagued the development of the industry. As a key component of mechanical equipment, the performance of bearings directly determines the stability and efficiency of the equipment.
Traditional bearings support and move components through rolling friction. Due to the presence of certain frictional forces and contacts, energy loss and bearing wear can occur, requiring lubrication and regular maintenance to reduce friction wear and extend service life.
Gaofu Power utilizes magnetic levitation bearing technology to suspend the rotor through magnetic force, achieving zero contact operation and solving the friction, wear, and maintenance problems of traditional motors. This technology utilizes the force of a magnetic field to support and position the rotor, eliminating physical contact and achieving zero friction. This means that the rotor can rotate without frictional resistance, thereby reducing energy loss, improving the efficiency and performance of the motor, while reducing maintenance requirements and operating costs.
Wei Dazhong, founder of "Gaofu Power", pointed out that the company's magnetic levitation bearing technology has greatly improved equipment efficiency by transforming aerospace technology into civilian use, achieving non-contact and frictionless operation. After several years of continuous technological progress, the main performance indicators can now be compared with similar foreign products, and in some individual indicators, even surpass foreign competitors. He likened the adoption of magnetic levitation bearings to electrifying traditional bearings, similar to transforming fuel powered vehicles into new energy vehicles, which will drive a revolution in the entire industry.
The company's main customers currently include blowers, compressors, refrigeration compressors, heat pumps, low-temperature equipment, and energy power equipment. These user groups have high requirements for high-speed operation, energy conservation, and maintenance costs of the equipment. In the future, the customer base will continue to expand with the enrichment of application scenarios.
In the technology and product development of "Gaofu Power", the magnetic levitation control algorithm is the core key. The company's magnetic levitation bearing technology relies on advanced control algorithms to achieve precise suspension of the rotor. Wei Dazhong emphasized in an interview that their third-generation intelligent magnetic bearing controller uses domestically produced components and can achieve intelligent control of 5, 7, and 9 degrees of freedom. This technology not only provides high-performance robust control and centralized control, but also has an online dynamic balancing algorithm that can effectively suppress external disturbances and dynamic balancing disturbances.
In addition, according to Wei Dazhong, the products of "Gaofu Power" can also perform remote monitoring, system stability evaluation, remote fault diagnosis, and automatic adjustment, all of which are achieved through intelligent control algorithms.
At present, the annual production capacity of "Gaofu Power" is about 500 sets, and it is expected to reach over 1000 sets next year. The company has two production bases in Chongqing and Jinan, with a total of over 10000 square meters of modern factory buildings, and has passed ISO9001 quality management system certification. Overseas, the products of "Gaofu Power" have been sold to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam.
In terms of team, Wei Dazhong, founder of "Gaofu Power", as a recipient of multiple provincial and ministerial level awards, has served as the technical leader of key products in the aerospace system and has in-depth research and practical experience in magnetic levitation bearing technology. The core team members have profound professional knowledge and years of practical experience in the fields of magnetic levitation bearing design and control technology, efficient permanent magnet synchronous motor technology, high-speed rotor simulation and design technology, etc.
Tianying's viewpoint:
The demand for high-speed cleaning and long-term operation of rotating components continues to increase. The Gaofu Power team originated from aerospace and has participated in national science and technology award projects. They have gradually developed full stack self-developed technology and the ability to commercialize multiple scenarios such as fans, compressors, heat pumps, chillers, and flywheel energy storage, as well as research capabilities for multiple major projects. The market prospects are broad. At the same time, we also hope that industry resource providers and financial providers in various application scenarios can jointly promote multiple growth curves for sustained growth, common prosperity and development.
