Abstract :
Two different approaches of levitation force calculation in electric meter´s magnetic bearings with two permanent magnets are presented in this paper. The first one is an analytical-numerical method. The results obtained using this method are compared with results calculated numerically by using the 2D-FEM program Opera 13 of Vector Fields. The results are presented in a graphical form.
