Permanent magnet bearings for horizontal- and vertical-shaft machines: A comparative study

Abstract

Two types of magnetic bearing systems employing permanent magnets to be used for vertical-shaft and horizontal-shaft machines, respectively, have been designed and fabricated in our laboratory. In this article we report a comparative evaluation of (i) the permanent magnet configuration and its effect on radial disturbance attenuation, (ii) magnetic losses and their effect on energy storage, and (iii) the off-state position of the rotor magnet in two types of bearing systems. Experimental results are presented.

Permanent Magnetic Bearing for Spacecraft Applications

“…A few studies have been published on the stiffness and damping of passive magnetic bearing systems. Ohji et al (1999) investigated the radial disturbance attenuation characteristics of horizontal and vertical shaft machines supported radially by permanent magnetic bearings. Fremerey (2000) used permanent magnetic bearings with eddy-current damping to levitate a 500 Whr energy storage flywheel for an uninterruptible power supply.…”

Research of the Forklift Power-Assisted Steering System Based on Safety Steering Speed Control

“…By the literature [21][22][23][24], load mass is a big reason to change motion trail. With the addition of mass, the trend or over-steering is increasing.…”

Application of the repulsive-type magnetic bearing for manufacturing micro-mass measurement balance equipment

“…4. The shaft model is mathematically described by (1) and (2) where is the mass of the levitating object and is the axial displacement. , , , and are the electromagnet resistance, inductance, current, and voltage, respectively.…”
