Magnetic Bearing
Magnetic Bearing
• Magnetic bearings require no lubrication and can run in normal ambient atmospheric
conditions or even in a vacuum.
• By supporting spinning shafts or other moving parts without physical contact, magnetic
bearings allow the highest rotational speeds of any kind of bearing up to (theoretically) an
unlimited maximum.
• Magnetic bearings are used in high speed and high temperature applications where
standard bearings would fail or when ultra low friction is required.
• Magnetic bearing applications have a high current loop bandwidth requirement; a tightly tuned
servo drive current loop is important.
PROTOTYPE MEASUREMENTS
a)protoype parameters
• Table shows the key design parameters of the
constructed HSIM. The machine has double-layer
distributed windings located in 48 stator slots
• To estimate the windage losses and separate them from the other machine losses, a rundown
test was performed.
• The set comprises the outer diameter of the rotor active part, the number of rotor slits, the
width of the conducting end ring, and the iron ratio for radial magnetic bearings.
• As the objectives for the system optimization, maximization of the torque and minimization
of the losses were selected.
• The total mass minimization was taken as the second optimization objective.
• The presented design procedure covers both the electrical machine design, the magnetic
bearing design, and the rotordynamics of the full rotor assembly.
• The procedure proved to be fast and flexible, and it allows us to evaluate a number of
candidate solutions in a fast manner and select the most suitable one.
