Prediction of rotating losses in heteropolar radial magnetic bearings

چکیده
Previously, thin plate assumptions have been used to obtain a one-dimensional eddy current model for predicting the stationary, transformer-type losses in magnetic bearings built out of laminated material. Using similar assumptions as in the 1-D eddy current model, rotating losses can be predicted for a laminated heteropolar radial magnetic bearing. The thin plate model of rotating losses yields a hybrid analytical-boundary element model that is computationally inexpensive to implement. Predictions from this model compare favorably to losses experimentally measured in rotor run-down tests.

متن کاملTitle: Influence of actuator geometry on rotating losses in heteropolar magnetic bearings
Recently, work on rotating losses in magnetic bearings has focused mainly on the measurement of rotating losses, and on the creation of models that attempt to reproduce these results. Though there has been some success on both counts, there has been less emphasis on interpreting what these results mean in terms of practical guidelines for the design of low-loss bearings. The present work reform...
متن کاملHomopolar Permanent-Magnet-Biased Actuators and Their Application in Rotational Active Magnetic Bearing Systems
Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) are already widely used in rotating machinery and continue to gain popularity due to the ever-present push to higher rotational speeds and decreasing prices of associated electronic components. They offer several advantages over conventional mechanical bearings including non-contact rotor support (thus eliminating mechanical wear and the need for lubricants), abi...
