This paper presents a novel permanent magnet (PM) bias hybrid thrust magnetic bearing (HTMB), which can be used to replace the traditional thrust magnetic bearings (TMBs) for high-speed rotating machinery. By adding two PM rings and by reducing the number of the control coils by half, this HTMB eliminates the bias current, reduces the number of amplifiers, and minimizes the magnetic bearing’s structure complexity and power consumption. The analytical modelling method of the HTMB is presented in this paper. Mathematical models for calculating the magnetic force capacity and the stiffnesses of this bearing are derived as simplified formulae, which can be used for the design, analysis, and control of this bearing. Electromechanical characteristics of the HTMB are analyzed, which is compared to the traditional TMB to demonstrate the advantages of the HTMB. The prototype of the HTMB is designed, analyzed, and fabricated, whereas, the 2-D FEM is used to verify the design and the analytical model. Finally, an experimental setup is constructed and tested. The analytical and experimental results indicate that the proposed novel topology of this HTMB is feasible and the presented analytical model is accurate.

This paper introduces an axial-flux self-bearing motor (ASBM) using two permanent magnet attractive type passive magnetic bearings (PMBs). The ASBM provides both functions of a disc motor and thrust magnetic bearing, and controls motor torque and axial force by single rotational magnetic flux. The PMB consists of a cylindrical permanent magnet and an iron shaft with conical edge, and it supports the rotor in radial directions. This motor has a simple structure and control system, and it is possible to reduce the size and cost. In this paper, the structure and control method are introduced, and the results of levitation and rotation tests whose non-contact rotation speed was achieved up to 1,500 rpm are shown.

The axial and radial load capacity of axial hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB) is critical for the magnetic levitation system. In this paper, the effect of permanent magnet (PM) position on axial and radial magnetic force and stiffness in axial HMB is investigated. Six different configurations are considered and the equivalent magnetic circuits of HMBs for each configuration is built and studied based on the distribution of magnetic field and magnetic leakage. The dependence of axial and radial magnetic force and stiffness on the axial displacement, radial displacement and control current is calculated and investigated for different configurations. To validate the calculated results, the axial and radial magnetic forces for each configuration are simulated by finite element method. A good agreement between the calculated and simulated results validated the proposed magnetic circuit models.

We propose a novel combined five-degrees-of-freedom (5-DOFs) hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB) with only one permanent magnet ring (PMR) used for turboexpanders. It has two radial magnetic bearing (RMB) units; each has four poles and one thrust magnetic bearing (TMB) to control 5-DOFs. Based on one PMR, the bias flux of the two radial magnetic bearing units and the one thrust magnetic bearing unit is constructed. As a result, ultra-high-speed, lower power loss, small size, and low cost can be achieved. Furthermore, the equivalent magnetic circuit method and 3D finite element method (FEM) are used to model and analyze the combined 5-DOFs HMB. The force-current, force-position, torque-coil currents, the torque-angle position, and the stiffness models of the combined 5-DOFs HMB are given. Moreover, its coupling problems between the RMB units and the AMB unit are also proposed in this paper. An example is given to clarify the mathematical models and the coupling problems, and the linearized models are proposed for the follow-up controller design.

This paper presents the practical results of the design analysis, commissioning, identification, sensor calibration, and tuning of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) control system for a laboratory gas blower. The presented step-by-step procedures, including modeling and disturbance analysis for different design choices, are necessary to reach the full potential of the prototype in research and industrial applications. The key results include estimation of radial and axial disturbance forces caused by the permanent magnet (PM) rotor and a discussion on differences between the unbalance forces resulting from the PM motor and the induction motor in the AMB rotor system.

This paper presents the design and control of a magnetically suspended ceiling actuator which combines four iron-cored linear actuators and a checkerboard permanent magnet array for an infinite planar stroke. When the actuators are rotated with respect to the PM array, it is shown that the thrust and normal force produced by the three-phase linear actuators can be controlled by applying Park's transformation. The design of the iron-cored linear actuators is optimized for minimum losses when the translator inside the ceiling actuator and a payload are accelerated in the xy-plane. The optimization is performed using an analytical model is. Simulations of the optimized design with a 3D FE-model, show a maximum tracking error of 1 μm and rotations of 30 μrad when the translator is moved and controlled in 6 DOF.

The new concept of a superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) system can be implemented as a twisting element instead of the existing one in a ring spinning machine, thus overcoming one of its main frictional limitations. In the SMB, a permanent magnet (PM) ring rotates freely above the superconducting ring due to the levitation forces. The revolution of the PM ring imparts twists similarly to the traveler in the existing twisting system. In this paper, the forces acting on the dynamic yarn path resulting from this new technology are investigated and described with a mathematical model. The equation of yarn movement between the delivery rollers and the PM ring is integrated with the Runge-Kutta method using MATLAB. Thus, the developed model can estimate the yarn tension and balloon form according to different spindle speeds considering the dynamic behavior of the permanent magnet of the SMB system. To validate the model, the important relevant process parameters, such as the yarn tension, are measured at different regions of the yarn path, and the balloon forms are recorded during spinning with the SMB system using a high speed camera.

A new permanent magnet bias axial magnetic bearing (PMAB) is introduced, then the structure and operation principle are analyzed. The equivalent magnetic circuit is established to deduce the mathematic expression. The parameter design and calculation of the magnetic bearing are presented including available area of magnetic pole, ampere - turns of control coils etc. The parameters of the proposed prototype are also given. The 3-D magnetic field simulation is performed by using the Finite Element software. The theory analysis and the simulation show that the maximum suspension magnetic force satisfies the design requirement. The magnetic suspension forces have better linearity and symmetry around the balanced position. Therefore, the proposed PMAB is suitable for the high speed or low loss occasions.
