Test and Theory of Electrodynamic Bearings Coupled to Active Magnetic Dampers
Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are passive magnetic bearings that exploit the interaction between eddy currents developed in a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field to generate forces. Similar to other types of magnetic suspensions, EDBs provide contactless support, thus avoiding problems with lubrication, friction and wear. Electrodynamic bearings have also drawbacks such as the difficulty in insuring a stable levitation in a wide speed range. The paper presents a solution where the EDBs are coupled with active magnetic dampers (AMDs) to guarantee a stable levitation.
