Introduced the working principle of active magnetic bearing unit and took the electric spindle with 5.5kW for example, finite element analysis of the magnetic fields of radical magnetic bearing was analyzed through finite element analysis by ANSYS software to find out the variation of magnetic field distribution and affecting factors. Analysis results showed that radical magnetic bearing had small leakage magnetic field, the principal axis’ maximum offset from the ideal center line was 0.0025mm and the principal axis had superior radical running accuracy when the circularity of supporting journal on principal axis was 0.003mm, the unilateral air-gap value was 0.3mm while the principal axis suspended normally and the inside track’ circularity of magnetic pole was 0.007mm. It can meet the working requirements of precision machine tool. The research results provided theoretical basis for structural optimization of the active magnetic bearing unit.

Abstract. In this paper, a new type of maglev wind generator is proposed. The working principle, structure characteristics and the finite element analysis of the new maglev wind turbine are introduced. The generator consists of a 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) maglev generator and a 3 DOF hybrid magnetic bearing. An eight poles active magnetic bearing with external rotor is added into traditional direct-drive permanent magnet wind generator. The rotor ring is hollowed, which can leads to the self-decoupling for magnetic fields between power generation system and suspension system. Compared with the conventional maglev wind generator, the proposed generator not only shows the same advantages of traditional maglev wind turbines, but also improves the axial length utilization and decrease the cost of motor control.

Abstract Supporting forces of magnetic bearings are lower than those of mechanical bearings. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new three-axis active control magnetic bearing (3-axis AMB) with an asymmetric structure where its rotor is attracted only in one axial direction due to a negative pressure of fluid. Our proposed 3-axis AMB can generate a large suspension force in one axial direction due to the asymmetric structure. The performances of our proposed 3-axis AMB are computed through 3-D finite element analysis.

According to magnetic suspension motorized spindle system, high speed motorized spindle system based on bearingless induction motor is presented in this paper. The prototype of high speed motorized spindle system with bearingless induction motor is studied and analyzed by using finite element analysis software Ansoft/Maxwell and Riccati transfer matrix method, and compared with high speed motorized spindle system supported by Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB). The results show that high speed motorized spindle system with bearingless induction motor has distinct advantage of simple and compact structure, which is easier to realize high speed and extra-high speed operation.

Abstract A magnetic circuit model for a homopolar magnetic bearing is presented. This model connects the fore and aft circumferential flux paths with axial flux paths through the rotor and back iron. The bias flux is provided by a circumferential permanent magnet in the back iron. Results for an analysis using the nonlinear Hyperco50 B-H curve are presented. These results are compared to the results of a three dimensional magnetostatic finite element analysis. The two analytical methods are in good agreement and show that the control flux in this type of bearing follows both circumferential and axial paths.

The method to design the interference fit for the rotor components of the active magnetic bearing (AMB) was proposed. The rotor components include the thrust collar, the radial bearing rotor components and the sensor rotor components. Four main influencing factors and the machining accuracy are considered during the designing, such as the centrifugal force, the loadings, the thermal expansion coefficient, the electromagnetic force, and the coupling surface roughness. Some calculation examples were presented. These examples are base on the AMB of a helium blower, which is going to be applied in the High Temperature Reactor-Pebblebed Modules (HTR-PM) in Rongcheng City, Shandong province. Both the analytical calculation and the finite element analysis were carried out, and then were compared. The method of design based on the simple analytic formula was proved to be available.
