Rotor Bearing Solutions International

In our previous post, we discussed the importance of proper auxiliary bearing design for active magnetic bearing supported rotors.  The auxiliary bearing system protects vital machine components from damage in case of loss of power in the active magnetic bearings. The previous post provided some insights into the detailed analysis required to properly model the […]

Active magnetic bearing systems have many advantages for rotating machinery.  However, one of the drawbacks is potential loss of levitation due to loss of power in the active magnetic bearing system.  The rotor then drops, and an auxiliary bearing system is needed to protect vital system components from damage. Auxiliary bearing  systems usually consist of […]
