Rotrex C38 Centrifugal Supercharger
The Rotrex C38 is the most powerful centrifugal supercharger of the Rotrex standard product range. Countless number of large scale applications can be boosted by this very efficient and silent unit which supplies air flow up to 0.63 kg/s. Impeller speeds of up to 90,000 rpm are achieved through the patented high-speed planetary traction drive which combines small size with exceptional performance and durability. The very low noise and vibration characteristic as well as the high efficiency of these superchargers set the industry standard for what is achievable.
The Rotrex C38-61 supercharger unit is the smallest of the C38 family. This unit is capable of over 500hp and works best on 2.5-4.0L engines. This is the same supercharger that is used on our Kraftwerks Systems for the Toyota 86 and our SpeedLab Hyundai Genesis kits.
The Rotrex C38-71 supercharger unit is capable of over 575hp and works best on 2.5-4.0L engines.
Kit includes oil cooler, 1 liter traction fluid, oil reseroir, oil filter and rubber lines
How does the Rotrex work?
Key to the Rotrex supercharger’s unique compactness, efficiency, low noise and reliability is its state of the art traction drive technology.
Great speeds and low noise are just some of the advantages of traction drives over traditional gear transmissions. Traction drives transmit power through friction forces between its rolling elements.
The Rotrex patented traction drive uses an elastic annulus with a small pre-span to secure contact between the roller planets and the sun shaft with a reasonable force. The patented “ramp effect” increases efficiency and reliability in the transmission by regulating the torque transfer capability on demand through self-adjusting planet geometry.
To enhance performance, the Rotrex traction drive uses a special traction fluid. These fluids are a new family of synthetic hydrocarbon oils and greases offering a series of unique performance advantages. Developed specially for its use in Rotrex superchargers, the SX100 momentarily increases viscosity under high surface pressure, enhancing the traction drive performance by securing the optimum friction between rolling elements while cooling and protecting the system.
This traction drive combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression, characterized by high adiabatic efficiency and low noise, gives Rotrex superchargers an exceptional competitive edge over any other forced induction solution.
