RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FORCES FOR ROTATING SHAFT SUSPENSION

Abstract

The radially passive bearing system is found to have an excessively flexible shaft. The system is rotated with an air turbine and dynamic load tests show no coupling between a pure torque load and the rigid body modes of the shaft. The completed mechanical system for the radially active bearing is given and the modified current drivers are described. The continuing analysis and experimental effort to achieve damping in the resonant magnetic bearing system are given.
