The Rotrex Supercharger is the most sophisticated power adder on the market, featuring patented planetary roller traction drive technology coupled to a turbocharger impeller and housing. With whisper quiet operation, world-class efficiency, and a compact size, the Rotrex Supercharger offers high-performance air flow for increased power. This supercharger is used in aftermarket applications as well as in supercars like the Caparo Freestream T1 and Ferrari F360. Learn more about how it works and its assembly process.

ARE THE MOST SOPHISTICATED POWER ADDER ON THE MARKET. THEY FEATURE PATENTED PLANETARY ROLLER TRACTION DRIVE TECHNOLOGY COUPLED TO A TURBOCHARGER IMPELLER AND HOUSING.
THE RESULT IS, WHISPER QUIET OPERATION WORLD CLASS EFFICIENCY WHISPER QUIET OPERATION WORLD CLASS EFFICIENCY COMPACT SIZE COMPACT SIZE
WHISPER QUIET OPERATION BECAUSE THE DRIVE SYSTEM USES ROLLERS, THERE ARE NO GEARS EMITTING MECHANICAL MESHING NOISE
WORLD CLASS EFFICIENCY THE PATENTED TRACTION DRIVE ALLOWS IMPELLER SPEEDS WHICH ARE SUITABLE FOR TURBOCHARGER IMPELLERS. THE RESULT IS VERY HIGH ADIABATIC EFFICIENCY
COMPACT PHYSICAL SIZE PICTURED IS A C38 CAPABLE OF OVER 600 HP HIGHER IMPELLER SPEEDS RESULT IN MORE AIR FLOW FOR A GIVEN IMPELLER SIZE. ALSO THE PLANETARY DRIVE UNIT REMAINS AXIAL TO THE IMPELLER, AS OPPOSED TO LARGER OFFSET DESIGNS
CREDIBILITY IN ADDITION TO BEING USED IN THE AFTERMARKET FOR YEARS IN EUROPE, THE ROTREX SUPERCHARGER HAS NUMEROUS SUPERCAR APPLICATIONS; STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE CAPARO FREESTREAM T1, OPTIONAL TWIN HEAD UNIT CONFIGURATION ON THE KOENIGSEGG, AND FERRARI FACTORY AUTHORIZED TWIN HEAD UNIT CONFIGURATION FOR THE F360 AND F430 MODENA.
HOW IT GOES TOGETHER IN ORDER TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW IT WORKS IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS ASSEMBLED
The dual-action pump ensures the correct amount of traciton fluid and internal pressure conditions. The SX100 traction oil and its condition play a vital role • Highly accurate components (< 5 microns) • The patented ramp effect applies on-demand radial force extending the gear’s life • Main materials: Aluminum and steel • Large forces compress the annulus ring (i.e. In the C30 the radial force per roller is more than 11000 N – a small car over each roller – creating a hertzian pressure of more than 1800 MPa) • The geometry and forces in the traction gear determine the torque transfer capability which sets the speed limits for a particular compressor trim • The house is sealed by the ”drive seal”, liguid gasket seal and spindle seal. 3 bolts securing gear house C SERIES DESIGN & ASSEMBLY PROCESS • The balanced aluminum impeller is pressed fitted in the spindle and secured by a nut • The pulley prevents axial displacement of components transmiting torque through a friction coupling • Banjo-bolts connecting to oil circuit
TRACTION FLUID SYSTEM UNLIKE SOME COMPETITORS CHARGERS WHICH REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS TO THE ENGINES OIL SYSTEM, ROTREX SUPERCHARGERS USE A TRACTION FLUID SYSTEM.
SUPERCHARGER TRACTION FLUID SYSTEM TRACTION FLUID PRIMARY FUNCTIONS PROVIDE A THIN LAYER OF PROTECTION AND TRACTION CAPABILITY BETWEEN PARTS – (Traction coefficient up to 0.08) COOLING – (Maximum suggested oil inlet temp = 80ºC) CLEANING (Through cellulose and magnet) DEFOAMING (Built into reservoir)
