Abstract :
A repulsive type magnetic bearing system has been designed and fabricated employing the repulsive forces operating between the stator and rotor permanent magnets. The radial axis is an uncontrolled passive one. The vibration along the uncontrolled axis and the increase of control current due to eddy current interference has limited the performance at higher speed of operation. This paper discusses different options to improve the performance at higher speed of operation and a method for reduction of the eddy current effect
