Data Center POST had the opportunity to connect with Ben Schuler, CEO & Founder of Infinitum. Prior to founding Infinitum, Ben spent the previous 15 years leading the design and deployment of complex industrial automation equipment across Taiwan, Japan and the United States. He was involved in the production ramp of Corning’s Gorilla Glass, Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cell and Solyndra’s thin film solar module.

Infinitum is the direct beneficiary of Ben’s expertise, which helps him lead the mission of disrupting the way industrial machinery and electric motors consume and create electricity. As one of the original creators of Infinitum’s air-core motor system, Ben holds 36 patents related to electric machines and drives.

What does Infinitum do?

Infinitum develops next-generation motor and fan systems that improve power quality and maximize electrical capacity by reducing harmonics at the source, enabling power-constrained facilities to support more critical loads without expanding electrical infrastructure.

What problems does Infinitum solve in the market?

Traditional motors are often heavy, inefficient at variable loads and difficult to service at the end of their useful life. Infinitum is advancing the century-old motor industry with a new design that prioritizes efficiency, reliability, serviceability and responsible material use. This approach delivers meaningful improvements in energy consumption, operational performance and lifecycle impact.

What are Infinitum’s core products or services?

Infinitum’s core products are our Aircore EC+, Aircore EC+ Fans, and Aircore EC+ Pumps. You can learn more about these products on our website, goinfinitum.com/aircoreecplus.

What markets do you serve?

We serve a variety of markets, including data centers and mission-critical facilities, commercial buildings and HVAC, industrial facilities, healthcare, universities and schools, and agriculture.

What challenges does the global digital infrastructure industry face today?

Infinitum’s roots are in sustainability, and its technology is increasingly addressing one of the most urgent challenges facing digital infrastructure: meeting growing power and cooling demands as AI adoption accelerates and available electrical capacity becomes a business constraint.

Organizations are under intense pressure to balance growth, uptime and energy efficiency without adding costly electrical infrastructure or increasing strain on the grid. To help solve this challenge, Infinitum developed the Aircore EC+ motor system, enabling customers to do more with the power they already have.

How is Infinitum adapting to these challenges?

Rather than relying on conventional approaches that use bulky, heat-generating harmonic filters, Infinitum’s engineering team designed unique embedded harmonic mitigation directly into the motor system. This innovation improves power quality while recovering valuable floor space, reducing thermal load and lowering energy losses. By maximizing usable electrical capacity and maintaining high efficiency across the load curve, Aircore EC+ helps facilities increase performance while consuming less energy and requiring less infrastructure.

Equally challenging was proving that sustainability and operational performance can improve together. Infinitum conducted extensive testing, validation and real-world deployments to demonstrate that customers could reduce energy consumption, optimize available power and maintain reliability simultaneously.

The company successfully deployed this technology in some of the world’s most demanding environments, including AI data centers, hospitals and other mission-critical facilities, where performance standards are exceptionally high and downtime is not an option.

What are your company’s key differentiators?

Traditional variable frequency drives (VFDs) are essential for improving motor efficiency, but they produce harmonics that can degrade electrical performance, reduce usable power and threaten uptime. As power demands from AI and electrification rise, harmonics can have significant operational and financial consequences in demanding environments where energy efficiency, uptime and electrical performance are critical.

Aircore EC+ enables customers to do more with less by maximizing available power, electrical performance and equipment life while reducing energy use, footprint and system complexity.

Infinitum’s Aircore EC+ is uniquely designed with integrated Active Front End technology within the motor’s VFD to reduce harmonics at the source and below IEEE 519 specifications, delivering cleaner power without the added cost, footprint, and power losses of conventional passive and active filters. Analysts have commented:

”The Infinitum design delivers a near-sinusoidal waveform with harmonic distortion reduced to well below the IEEE 519 standard, far outperforming traditional passive filtering systems that typically only reduce harmonics to 10%,“ said Giselle Canahuati, Senior Consultant, Frost & Sullivan.

Available and application-specific features include:

  • Standard IP65 Enclosure: Heavy-duty exterior protects against dust, dirt and water, allowing motors to operate reliably in harsh outdoor or wet environments.
  • Standard High Resistance Ground: Delivers normal operation during an electrical ground fault and reduces the chance of equipment failure. Power-loss ride-through capability enables systems to continue operating during standby power.
  • Standard Hybrid Ceramic Bearings: As compared to standard bearings, hybrid ceramic bearings do not conduct electricity and resist corrosion, enhancing durability, reliability and efficiency in high-performance applications.

What can we expect to see/hear from Infinitum in the future?

As customers face power budget constraints related to AI, electrification and higher electricity costs, our product development will continue to focus on helping customers do more with less. That translates into products that require fewer motors, fewer kilowatts and less electrical infrastructure. We’ve continued to innovate and expand our product portfolio for specific applications that help the most energy-intense sectors, including heavy industry, commercial buildings and data centers, to optimize how power is used and conserved. Most recently we recognized customer challenges in the EC fan market, and unveiled a high-efficiency, integrated (fan, motor, variable frequency drive) solution for HVAC, industrial and mission critical applications. We are expanding our ability to deliver more fully integrated systems. With Aircore EC+ Fans, Infinitum optimizes the fan, motor and variable frequency drive together to address real-world power, performance and integration challenges.

What upcoming industry events will you be attending?

Infinitum will be attending a variety of data center industry events, including:

  • Yotta
  • OCP Global Summit
  • DCD Connect Virginia
  • 7×24 Exchange Fall Conference

For those interested in connecting during the conferences to learn more about Infinitum’s motor and fan systems for mission critical facilities, please reach out to Anthony Lou at alou@goinfinitum.com or John Garza at jgarza@goinfinitum.com.

Do you have any recent news you would like us to highlight?

Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about Infinitum and capabilities?

AI-driven data center growth, electrification and an aging grid are making power availability a defining constraint. Because motors and fans are embedded throughout cooling infrastructure, improving their efficiency and electrical performance can have a meaningful impact on available power, operating costs and facility capacity. Infinitum helps customers do more with less by delivering more cooling and performance with less energy, material, space and infrastructure.
