Abstract. The paper introduces the mathematical model of rotor for active magnetic bearing reaction/momentum wheels, used as actuator in spacecraft attitude and orbit control system. Developed model is used for estimation of critical speeds and forced oscillation magnitudes with a glance of the rotor modes. Rotor is considered as a two-mass system, consisting of a shaft and a rim, active magnetic bearings are assumed to be a linear elastic springs. The equations of the rotor motion are derived using the Lagrange equation. Developed model is verified by comparing the calculated Campbell diagrams with the results of the finite-element modal analysis, performed in the ANSYS software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
