Title: Influence of actuator geometry on rotating losses in heteropolar magnetic bearings
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 reformulates a previously developed analytical model of rotating loss so that the effects shaft speed and pole count on rotating losses can be more easily identified. Conclusions drawn from this formulation are then compared to previously reported experimental data.

Prediction of rotating losses in heteropolar radial magnetic bearings
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 yield...

متن کاملOptimized Realization of Fault-Tolerant Heteropolar Magnetic Bearings
Flux coupling in heteropolar magnetic bearings permits remaining active coils to assume actions of failed coils to produce force resultants identical to the un-failed actuator. This fault-tolerant control usually reduces load capacity because the redistribution of the magnetic flux which compensates for the failed coils leads to premature saturation in the stator or journal. A distribution matr...
متن کاملPower Optimal Solution of the Magnetic Inverse Problem for Heteropolar Magnetic Bearings
The relationship between current and force in magnetic bearings is typically inverted via bias current linearization. This work considers an alternate inverse strategy based on minimizing the power required to produce a given force while accommodating slew rate limitations of the actuator. Continuation techniques are used to obtain an inverse mapping between forces and currents. Specifically co...
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...
