Magnetic Bearing Systems

Active and Passive Rotor/Magnetic Bearing Systems

Rotor Bearing Solutions International has over 40 years combined experience in magnetic bearing systems including analysis, design, test rigs, and industrial active magnetic bearing systems.

  • Analysis and Design of Active/Passive Magnetic Bearing Actuators – radial and thrust electromagnetic bearings, combined radial and thrust, permanent magnet bias, reduced power consumption designs, finite element modeling
  • Optimum Design for Active and Passive Magnetic Bearing Load Capacity – variable geometry radial and thrust bearings, finite element modeling, coil design, coil current specification, amplifier specification
  • Proportional, Integral, Derivative Controller Formulation – standard industrial uncoupled or coupled industrial controller design, optimum tuning, application to industrial rigid and flexible rotor/AMB machines, implementation
  • Advanced Controller Formulation – mu synthesis, H-infinity, and other controller designs for industrial flexible rotor/AMB systems, implementation, control of aerodynamic cross coupled effects, operation through critical speeds
  • Design of AMBs for Test Rigs – design and operation of AMBs in test rigs for evaluation of dynamic properties of seals, fluid film bearings or other devices, control of AMBs in test rigs, treatment of data from test rigs to obtain dynamic data
  • Auxiliary Bearing Analysis – nonlinear transient lateral/axial modeling of rotor in auxiliary bearing systems
