Screw-type compressors
Oil-injected screw-type compressor
Screw-type compressors operate on the positive displacement principle. Two parallel rotary pistons with different profiles are driven in opposite directions inside a housing. About half of all compressors produced today are screw-type compressors.
Screw-type compressors are mainly used in factories where large amounts of air are needed. Two types are available: oil-injected and oil-free screw-type compressors.
Requirements on the bearings
- They must take up the gas pressure acting on the rotors as a result of the compression
- They must ensure narrow gaps between housing wall and rotors to avoid pressure losses and obtain a high efficiency

Applications
- Compressors for filling and emptying silos and silage wagons
- Stationary compressor plants in the chemical industry and in process engineering
- Machines used in the food and beverage industry
- Refrigerant compressors in air conditioning systems
