Mechatronically Designed Magnetic Bearings for High-Speed Spindles and Rotors

  • Chapter
Mechatronic Design in Textile Engineering

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 279))

Abstract

Contact-free Magnetic Bearings are a typical mechatronic product, and they have some distinct advantages. They do not generate wear and they do not need lubrication. Therefore, they have a potential for long lifetime and low maintenance costs. These features make them attractive, among other applications, for textile machinery.

This chapter presents the state of the art for the design of an electromagnetic bearing system. It introduces first the main elements and then discusses control and system aspects. The characteristics of such a suspension system are detailed. Several applications will be demonstrated, and future trends are indicated.
