2017 | Zhang, L.L. and Huang, J.H. | Stability Analysis for a Flywheel Supported on Magnetic Bearings with Delayed Feedback Control | ACES Journal 2017 vol 3 no 8 - Courtesy of ACES | ||
Abstract: In this paper, the model of the rotor dynamics of the flywheel is given using a rigid rotor supported on magnetic bearings. The phase lag of the control loop is modeled by a simple time delay. Limits of stability and the associated vibration frequencies are described in terms of nondimensional magnetic bearing stiffness and damping and nondimensional parameters of flywheel speed and time delay. Compared to the theoretical values, the simulation results and experimental measurements show the stability boundaries of the PD controller have the same qualitative tendencies. | |||||

Abstract: This study presents two novel nonlinear controllers for a single one-degree-of-freedom (1–DOF) active magnetic bearing (AMB) system operated in zero-bias mode with externally bounded disturbance. Recently developed controllers are complicated and inherently difficult to implement. The simple and low-order controllers proposed in this paper are designed using nonlinear feedback tools, including Lyapunov-based techniques and control Lyapunov functions (CLFs). The control objective is to globally stabilize the mass position of the nonlinear flux-controlled AMB system with control voltage saturation. The zero-bias AMB control model is derived from the voltage switching strategy. The developed CLF-based controllers are verified by numerical calculations. | |||||

Abstract: A novel magnetic levitation principle, applicable for two- and four-pole high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors, is presented. The drive consists of two half-motors, in which two asymmetric star-connected windings are arranged. An additional active magnetic bearing part is inserted to control the axial displacement. The two coils of the axial magnetic bearing are fed by the zero-sequence current components of the star-connected windings. The proper control of the positive, the negative, and the zero-sequence currents permits to set the torque, the radial levitation forces and the axial levitation force, respectively. | |||||

Abstract: The design of high-precision magnetic levitation positioning systems requires fast electromagnetic models. Since three-dimensional finite element method (3D-FEM) is very time-consuming, in order to calculate magnetic forces, an interesting alternative is to determine the forces semi-analytically due to the high accuracy with a short calculation time. In this paper, a new compact semi-analytical equation for determining the magnetic propulsion forces of a new ironless two degrees of freedom (2-DoF) actuator for a high-precision magnetic levitation system is presented. The derived equation is based on the magnetic scalar potential and the Lorentz force law. An important result is that this new expression takes also the position dependence of the propulsion forces over the whole planar stroke into account. The calculated propulsion forces from the derived equations and the verification by 3D-FEM (Maxwell 3D) are presented in this paper as well. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper we illustrate a particular analytical numerical model of passive magnetic bearings with axial magnetization. The approach is based on the magnetic charges method. This method avoids the utilization of the finite element analysis. In relation to the system geometry, we find explicit formulations for computing magnetic fields by simple numerical integrations. A detailed magnetostatic model is developed and the nonlinearity of the magnetization vector M of the ring magnets can be considered by a very simple modification of the equations illustrated. The equations can be immediately implemented in a mathematical software and only few minutes are sufficient to obtain the results. | |||||

Abstract: Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are a promising way to support rotors passively with no friction. In particular, heteropolar EDBs could allow for combining the motor and guiding functions, thereby optimizing the use of permanent magnets. Despite this advantage, few efforts have been dedicated to the evaluation and optimization of the performance of heteropolar EDBs. In this paper, the performance of a yokeless topology of heteropolar EDB is evaluated and optimized. This is done by evaluating the parameters of a parametric dynamical model of the EDB using a two-dimensional analytical model of the field distribution in the bearing. Compared to existing EDBs, the present one is shown to achieve a reasonable stiffness to permanent magnet volume ratio at high speeds. | |||||

Abstract: Bearingless drives integrate the functionality of magnetic bearings and an electric machine into a single device. While this integration allows very compact drives offering all advantages of magnetic levitation, the design process becomes significantly more complex. This work deals with the numerous topological and geometric design decisions which need to be taken for such a bearingless drive. Additionally, the definition of suitable optimization targets for the electromagnetic simulation process is outlined. The proposed guidelines generate a complex relationship of different dependencies which is then fed into the MagOpt optimizer for the design of a high speed bearingless disk drive, which allows verifying the optimization results through measurement results from two prototype drives. | |||||

Abstract: Permanent magnets are an attractive material to be utilized in thrust bearings as they offer relatively low losses. If utilized properly, they have a long service lifetime and are virtually maintenance free. In this contribution, we communicate the results of the tests performed on a permanent magnet thrust bearing that was custom built and installed in a hydropower synchronous generator test-rig.

Abstract: In magnetic vibration isolation field, magnetic force is used for the isolation, while the whole isolation system is always supported passively, which have non-control shortcomings. Aimed at this problem, a novel active control strategy with a double closed-loop PID algorithm was designed in this paper. The double closed-loop strategy includes an internal and external loop control, which was designed to fulfill the magnetic levitation and isolation, respectively. Firstly, the vibration isolation strategy proposed in this paper was simulated in both time and frequency domain. The simulation results showed that this method possesses good performance of vibration isolation. Then, an active levitation and vibration isolation control experiment was designed. The experimental results showed that the control algorithm has a good vibration control effect under periodic vibration and random vibration conditions. | |||||

Abstract: This study proposes a novel sensorless control of a current-controlled three-pole active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. It is based on the smooth current controller incorporated with the estimated rotor displacements. The rotor position information is extracted from additional sensing coil currents. The sensing coil currents are generated from three phase voltages injected to the additional coils on each magnetic pole. The dynamic model of the 3-pole AMB with the additional high frequency input is derived for levitation control and for position estimation. The results are verified through simulation analysis. | |||||

Abstract: In this article, the vertical and horizontal forces of interaction of permanent magnets in a magnetic support system (magnetic suspension, MS) are considered. Permanent magnets have a stepped structure and uniform magnetization M throughout their entire volume (M = const ). The magnetic support system contains multi-row magnetic strips. The results of the comparison of the vertical and lateral forces for the classic horizontal magnetic system (HMS) are presented too. A stability factor index, the ratio of vertical to lateral force of interaction gamma= fZ/ fY, and an effectiveness factor mu eff=f Z/(mg) are defined (where mg is the weight of the magnets per unit length). A prototype of the proposed magnetic support system was built, and measurements were performed. Analysis of the obtained data indicates that the investigated magnetic suspension system performs better than the classical horizontal MS system. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper we present a new Permanent Magnets (PMs) bearing, which is composed of a rotor capable to levitate at a short distance from a dedicated stator. Proper configurations of PMs arranged on both the stator and the rotor allows having the magnetic suspension. Intrinsic mechanical instability characterizes the device; a passive stabilization is attempted exploiting eddy currents on a conducting sheet that surrounds the magnets on the stator. The system has been simulated by means of a dedicated numerical code that takes into account the effects of magneto-mechanical coupling. The coupled problem has been integrated by means of a prediction-correction nested scheme. Some interesting results, extensively discussed here, has been produced by simulation activity. In particular the stability of to the center of mass with respect to the translations has been passively obtained, if the rotations are actively prevented. | |||||

Abstract: The main helium circulator is the core component of the High Temperature Reactor (HTR). Mechanical machining errors and assembly errors can cause uneven distribution of rotor mass. When the rotor rotates, the unbalanced mass will generate unbalanced force which will change the rotor's axis trajectory. By coupling the rotor dynamics method and the electromagnetic bearing system control theory, the motion of the rotor is modeled. Three representative unbalanced conditions of the impeller position, the bearing position and the centroid position are assumed to simulate the unbalance response of the rotor, and the influence of changes in the stiffness and damping on the unbalance response of the rotor is analyzed by adjusting the stiffness and the damping of the rotor. The results of the analysis show that the bearings farther from the unbalanced position (UBP) have larger rotor displacements and bearing loads. Increasing Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) stiffness and damping will increase the bearing load and reduce the response displacement of the rotor. Therefore, the stiffness and damping of AMBs must be designed by considering the bearing capacity and the displacement limit of the rotor. | |||||

Abstract: The semi-analytical calculation of magnetic forces is currently an interesting alternative to the timeconsuming three-dimensional finite-element modeling (3D-FEM) due to its high accuracy and low computational cost. This paper presents novel equations for determining the magnetic forces of a cylindrical permanent magnet actuator used in high precision magnetic levitation positioning systems. Compared to the already available equations in literature, these equations consider the magnetic forces as a function of the current magnet position. Moreover, these equations are also suitable for designing and analyzing the cylindrical permanent magnet actuator. The results of our force equations and the verification by 3D-FEM and measurements are presented in this paper. | |||||

Abstract: Safety bearings are used as a back-up system for the rotor-systems that use active magnet bearings for supporting the rotor. When the control fails due to unexpected events, the rotor drops on the safety bearings that prevent further damages of the system.

The parts of the studied system are modeled as rigid bodies and the purpose is the study the dynamics of a real system in means of simulation. The safety bearing mechanism is manufactured and measured in the laboratory environment. The study shows that the dynamic behavior of the system can be repeated using the simulation tools that combines mechanical description of the system, electromagnetics and control system. Also, the electromechanical safety bearing solution seems to be feasible from the dynamic perspective. | |||||

Specific torque of the models is between 2.76 up to 8.24 Nm/kg. This range is large enough to overpass conventional toothed microgear specific torque. This means that micro magnetic gears can not only provide conversion of speed and torque without friction but also to be more compact. | |||||

Abstract: The active magnetic bearings (AMBs) can greatly improve the stability of the flywheel system and increase the maximum flywheel speed. However, if the active magnetic bearing-flywheel system (AMB-FS) is placed in a rotating frame, the strong gyroscopic effect of high-speed flywheel will greatly affect the system stability. In this study, to realize the high stability of the AMB-FS at ultra-high flywheel speed with low power consumption, the cross feedback PID control was applied in the AMB-FS. The system stability and the performance of AMBs were studied. In the experiment, the gyroscopic effect of the flywheel was effectively suppressed. In the vacuum environment, the flywheel could runs stably at any speed within the range of 0 to 30000 rpm, and the power consumption of AMBs was only 17.82 W and the system had no need of cooling measures. The flywheel speed could exceed 31200 rpm and still possessed the speeding potential. The rotating frame test showed that the maximum frame rotational speed could reach 3.5 deg/s at the rated flywheel speed of 30000 rpm, and the AMBFS run stably. | |||||

The nonlinear model of the rotor-AMB system is built and the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the system in both resonance region and non-resonance region are investigated through numerical integration method. This paper shows that the rotor-AMB system can exhibit some complicated nonlinear dynamic behaviors, such as soft spring characteristic of the amplitude-frequency response curve, the jump phenomenon, and pitchfork bifurcation. And the effects of exciting force and current saturation on these nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the system are discussed. | |||||

2019 | Zhang, Z. | Applied Adaptive Controller Design for Vibration Suppression in Electromagnetic Systems | ACES Journal 2019 vol 34 no 4 - Courtesy of ACES | ||
Abstract: In engineering tests, the vehicle-track coupled vibration is very easy to occur on the elastic support beams for a magnetic levitation (maglev) system. The fundamental waves, higher order harmonics, and other components related to the mode of track vibrations are often observed in the gap, acceleration and current sensors. This paper aims to design an adaptive filter to suppress these vibration components and improve the ride comfort for the passengers. Firstly, an adaptive selfturning filter is designed to filter out wideband signals and noise from the original signals, and enhance the strength of the fundamental wave and the harmonic components related to the mode of track vibration. Secondly, a narrow-band bandpass filter is presented to extract these enhanced periodical signals related to the track mode, and then the enhanced signals are configured as the reference inputs of the subsequent adaptive noise canceller. Thirdly, the adaptive noise canceller filters out periodical vibration components related to the track mode. Finally, the designed digital adaptive filter is applied to a real maglev system and suppresses coupled vibration on the elastic support beams effectively. | |||||

Abstract: This study presents experimental verification of a nonlinear position-flux control for active magnetic bearing (AMB) system operated with zero-bias flux. Recently developed controllers for nonlinear fluxcontrolled AMB applications are complicated and inherently difficult to implement. Therefore, three designs of low-order controllers are proposed using nonlinear feedback tools including Lyapunov-based techniques and control Lyapunov functions (CLFs). The control objective is to globally stabilize the rotor mass position in the AMB system. Responses of the AMB system states to initial condition and to external load disturbance are presented and the simulation and experimental results for transient responses are compared. The overshoots are compensated for the zero neighbourhood, and the rotor position amplitude does not exceed 2.5% of the air gap. | |||||

Abstract: The Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) is used in the main helium blower in the High Temperature Reactor-Pebble-bed Modules (HTR-PM) which is being constructed in Shandong province, China. The axial AMB is very large and works under extreme conditions. The calculation deviation of the electromagnetic force of the axial AMB was studied experimentally. Through measuring B-H curve of the material in large range of magnetic field intensity, considering flux leakage in calculation, and considering residual magnetism and the change of the gas gap in measurement, the calculation deviation reduces to 10%, with most values less than 5%. The material selection method of the axial AMB working under extreme conditions was studied experimentally. Through measuring the electromagnetic force when the stator and the thrust disc are made of different materials, it’s found that the force mostly depends on the stator. Combined with the analysis of the stress distribution of the stator and the thrust disc under working condition, the dual material selection method is proposed. That is, the stator material should have good magnetic properties and its mechanical properties are not very important, however, the thrust disc material should have good mechanical properties, and its magnetic properties are not very important. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearing (AMB) is a kind of typical mechatronic product which is widely used due to its high performance. Since the electromagnetic force is strongly nonlinear, the force-displacement coefficient and the force-current coefficient need to be linearized in the process of controlling the AMB. This paper analyzes the three most common magnetic bearings and gives their linearized force formulas. Simulations show that the formulas have high precision. In addition, the source of errors is also analyzed in this paper. | |||||

Abstract: This paper introduces a nonlinear disturbance observer plus general notch filter based zerobias control strategy to handle disturbance and reduce power consumption for the radial magnetic bearing in the magnetically suspended spindle. The zero-bias control is used to decrease the power consumption of magnetic bearings, as large power consumption causes temperature rise of system and temperature drift of sensor. The suspension of the rotor is affected by complicated disturbance including non-periodic and periodic disturbance. In order to reduce the deviation of rotor brought by external disturbance, the nonlinear disturbance observer is used. However, since the response lag to the disturbance, the nonlinear disturbance observer cannot suppress the periodic imbalance force well. Therefore, the general notch filter is introduced to reduce the periodic vibration. The effectiveness on the disturbance suppression and power reduction of the proposed method is verified by experiment results. | |||||

Abstract: In this article, the vertical and horizontal forces of the interaction of permanent magnets in a Magnetic Suspension (support) System of Vertical Type (MSVT) are considered. The magnetic support system contains multi-row magnetic bands (strips), which have alternating polarity. The magnetization vector, M, is directed horizontally, as opposed to classical support systems where M is directed vertically. The results of the comparison of the vertical and lateral forces for the classic Magnetic System of Horizontal Type (MSHT) and the MSVT are presented too. An effectiveness factor, mu eff = fz/mg, is adopted (where fz is the vertical force per unit length of magnetic band and mg is its weight) and is used as the principle criterion for comparison. In this paper it is shown that when the vertical displacement of the moving part of the support system of MSVT causes the vertical force, fz, to reach its maximum, the lateral force fy is at its minimum. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearing (AMB) has been gradually applied to high speed rotating equipment to suspend rotor as it has many advantages, but some uncertain faults always appeal in the process of application. Meanwhile, displacement sensor is a key equipment of AMB control system, but when it is used in high speed atomizer, some uncertain problems are happened, such as expected range cannot be adjusted, and data characteristics cannot match well in the X-Y direction. In view of these problems, we gather electrical parameters in different frequencies, and establish the corresponding equivalent circuit models, to analyze the reasons of uncertain faults. Then we propose the high frequency electrical parameters characteristic analysis method to realize reliable judgment and reveal the essence of uncertain faults. Finally, comparative experiments are carried to verify the analysis methods, the results show that the electrical parameters of fault characteristic analysis method established for uncertain faults of displacement sensor has good theoretical and practical value. | |||||

Abstract: Measurement of rotor position in bearingless motors and bearingless systems is of essence for proper operation. Insufficient resolution, sensor insensitivity and low sampling rate in measurement process leads unstable levitation and in worst case to the collision of rotor and stator which could end with motor destruction. Paper presents new concept for rotor position measurement based on Eddy current principle and Coupled oscillators theory in order to get accurate rotor position information. New concept is based on injection locking phenomena between coupled oscillators. Opposite pair of sensing oscillators are electrically coupled via resistor. In injection locking conditions phase shift between coupled oscillators is proportional to rotor movement. Phase shift was measured with Time to Digital Converter (TDC) and information is passed to Digital Signal Processor DSP over SPI communication link. DSP calculates the rotor position which is passed to power electronic circuit for rotor position control. | |||||

Abstract: A novel combination radial/axial homopolar permanent-magnet-biased electromagnetic actuator for application in active magnetic bearings is proposed. The design combines the best features of the earlier solutions: shorter axial length, lower part count, lower aerodynamic drag, lower negative stiffness and lower cost typical for combination bearings along with better axial bandwidth typically demonstrated in arrangements of separate radial and axial bearings. Furthermore, for most machines, the actuator topology leads to rotor construction that results in a higher first bending mode frequency than previous designs. | |||||

Abstract: Two types of passive magnetic lift bearings are evaluated in terms of lift force and eddy current losses. Two sources of eddy currents are analyzed with help of the finite element method, firstly losses due to non-radial magnetization of magnets, and secondly losses due to variations in remanence. Magnets placed are placed in a Halbach array on the rotor and ring-magnets are placed on the stator. Denoted semi-segmented bearings, these produce low losses in the rotor, thus limiting the need of heat transport during vacuum operation. Experimental results of lift force are presented, together with simulations results. The losses were found to be in the order of 9 W at a rotational speed of 30 000 rpm while producing 900 N of thrust. The FEM-problem is solved with time-dependent terms, and is compared with a stationary approximation. | |||||

Abstract: In a previous work, a high-speed spindle was made to attenuate machining chatter through application of robust control to AMB supports. In the present work, tooltip compliance of the levitated system is experimentally measured by impulse testing. Using the compliance measurement, the stability lobe diagram and critical chatter frequency diagram are calculated by means of Nyquist stability theory applied to the cutting force feedback loop. This experimentally based stability lobe diagram quantifies the improvement of machining stability when using the chatter avoiding AMB controller. The chatter frequency diagram is helpful in identifying the onset of chatter and posteriori AMB controller tuning. Also from the compliance data, critical phase shift between the inner and outer cut modulus is calculated for a range of machining speeds. The critical phase shift shows the amount of regenerative effect needed to cause machining chatter at each speed and confirms the advantageous machining speeds found in the stability lobe diagram. | |||||

Abstract: The concept of flux concentration was applied to the flux-path control magnetic suspension to increase suspension force. In the proposed system, control plates made of permanent magnet were used instead of ferromagnetic control plates in the conventional flux-interrupted type. The magnets were arranged to concentrate the flux from the magnetic source to the floator. Such effects were confirmed by magnetic field analysis. An experimental study shows that the suspension force achieved by the fluxconcentrated type was approximately 2.5 times that achieved by the flux-interrupted type with the same size. In addition, contactless suspension was achieved by applying PD control in the flux-concentrated type suspension system. | |||||

Abstract: Aiming the development of an implantable Ventricular Assist Device – VAD, or an artificial heart, a joint project was started in 2007, involving the Escola Politécnica of São Paulo University (EPUSP) and the Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology (IDPC). One of objectives of the project is the development of a VAD with a rotor levitated by a magnetic bearing. Here, a magnetic bearing proposed by authors, called as EPUSP bearing, is elected mainly because of its simplicity. This work presents the entire development work. One of most important work is related with the mitigation of a topology of the EPUSP bearing that enables a robust levitation, enough for supporting the rotor of a VAD. Moreover some complementary studies are developed so as to execute the Zero Power control in the EPUSP bearing, identify the best way of driving the rotor supported by the EPUSP bearing and finally, use the Hall sensor in the measurement of the rotor position in the EPUSP bearing. | |||||

Abstract: One major limitation to the wide adoption of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in industry is the time required for commissioning and tuning. In this paper we will report how integration of signal processing capability (especially multi-channel transfer function measurements) within the AMB controller can reduce total commissioning time and especially, the time required on site by a highly skilled AMB specialist. We also show how PC based automatic commissioning tools make it possible for OEM and end user engineers to commission, tune and maintain AMB machines with only occasional remote support from the AMB vendor and without specialist rotor-dynamic test equipment. Secondary benefits from this approach include increased traceability and repeatability of the tuning process. The automated commissioning is based on MATLAB scripts and data analysis capabilities. This runs on a separate PC which (via the controller network interface) configures the measurements to be made by the AMB controller. Analysis of the resulting measurements allows automatic modification of controller parameters. These scripts cover several control loops and estimators within the AMB controller including current, flux and position servo control. The robustness and vibration performance are used to assess the resulting control loop. This is based around a concept of dynamic templates which correlate to acceptance criteria according to ISO 14839-2 and ISO 14839-3. Results from running the automated commissioning process on a high speed test rig are presented. The results show that the dynamic template model provides good control performance with rapid tuning time. This technology has the potential for the development of sophisticated diagnostic routines which could be activated in the event of anomalous readings, and this further future work is briefly described. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes a novel demodulation circuit which has been developed for use with inductive position sensors for Active Magnetic Bearing applications. The circuit is designed to operate with conventional bridge type inductive position sensors. This circuit is novel in that the implementation is fully digital and uses a mixture of FPGA and DSP to ensure noise immune phase sensitive de-modulation. We present the architecture and implementation of the new circuit. The techniques to perform the phase sensitive de-modulation are described, including the techniques necessary to handle the phase shifts due to cable capacitance. In conventional analogue based systems these phase shifts are compensated by field changes to component values. The experience of using this sensor on a 1.5MW motor driven hydrogen compressor is described. We present the results and experiences of commissioning the machine. The noise levels recorded during testing, and the overall response of the machine both whilst levitated (non-rotating) and during operation are included. We finish with a comparison of the two methodologies; the precision analogue circuitry versus the digital along with our conclusions. | |||||

2013 | Kumar, P. and Jayawant, R. | Commissioning Experience with Dynamic Termination of Transmission Line Effects in an Extended Magnet Cable Application | Proceedings of BWMB2013 | ||
Abstract: Active magnetic bearing controllers generate current and voltage commands in response to axial and radial forces acting on rotating shaft. The subsystems that respond to these commands are known as power amplifiers. Due to advancements in power electronics and rapid industrial trend towards higher efficiency, compactness and lower cost, recent AMB’s utilize switched mode PWM power amplifiers which regulate current in magnets by varying the ratio of on duration of switching device to switching period. With increasing no of AMB installations in hazardous areas for e.g. volatile gas compressors, it is imperative to provide a safe separation distance between the bearing and the control system itself. Transmission line effects can result in power cables connecting the PWM power amplifier to the bearing in such installations. These effects give rise to voltage and current reflections due to a mismatch of source, line and load impedance at high switching frequencies. They can cause insulation failures, overvoltage, ringing and improper operation of parts subjected to these voltages and currents. A dynamic termination circuit was developed at Waukesha Magnetic Bearings to terminate these reflections on a strategic basis according to instantaneous PWM pulse amplitude and return most of the reflected energy to the DC link power supply. This paper discusses actual results seen during commissioning on site in which an AMB system was successfully employed to suspend a volatile gas compressor rotor shaft by mitigating transmission line effects in the power cables. It is also shown that this circuit can improve dynamic performance of PWM power amplifier and meet requirements of industrial AMB’s in hazardous area applications. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearings for space and industrial applications have undergone considerable development in laboratories and industries. Since 1978. several types of magnetic bearings have been manufactured and tested in National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL). concentrating on the development of the magnetic bearings utilizing permanent magnets and their applications for space. Two degree-of-freedom (DOF) radially controlled magnetic bearings is a candidate of practical use as attitude control actuator of spacecraft. In order to evaluate the characteristics of this type magnetic bearings. on-orbit experiments under zero g condition were performed. i.e. magnetic bearing flywheel developed by NAL was launched by H-I rocket TF#l into a 1500 km circular orbit on summer of 1986 and several experiments were carried out successfully. This paper summarizes the activities of NAL [or research and development of magnetic bearings. | |||||

Abstract: An AC-electromagnetic bearing based on eddy-current repulsion has been built and tested. The bearing was found to be inherently stable and able to provide support in five degrees of freedom, i.e. a short rotor was fully supported by a single bearing without any feedback control. However, with the current design configuration, the load carrying capacity and the stiffness and damping are lower than for the conventional DC-electromagnetic bearing and the power consumption is higher. Experimental confirmation of the inherent bearing stability and the support capabilities was reported in an earlier paper. The current paper reports on the experimental investigation of two additional capabilities, namely motoring and emergency shutdown without catcher bearings. In addition, quantitative experimental results are presented by which the goodness of each of the bearing capabilities can be judged. Based on these results, design modifications are proposed for improving the bearing capabilities. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a magnetic actuator designed to control the synchronous vibration of a 2.3m long 100mm diameter rotor supported on oil-film bearings. An algorithm is described which allows the control force to be computed to minimise the synchronous rotor vibration without prior knowledge of oil-film or rotor characteristics nor of the inherent out-of-balance distribution along the rotor. In this approach the magnetic actuator is first used to apply sequential test signals along two orthogonal axes whilst the shaft is rotating. The corresponding displacements are measured and the algorithm used to determine the control forces to be applied by the actuator. The process is applied sequentially as the rotor is run-up from rest to the required operating speed. Some experimental results are presented to demonstrate the ability of this technique to significantly reduce the synchronous vibration. It is also discussed how the electromagnetic actuator can be used to avoid the instability associated with oil-whirl. | |||||

Abstract: The magnetic bearings described here has been developed for high speed rotating machinery. The manufactured experimental model Is 4-axls-active type with simple structure. Since the model is so called outer-rotor type, resonance frequency of the rotor could set higher than rotating frequency, and only first resonance frequency of the stator shaft is in the rotating region. In this paper, we describe the analysis and experimental results to obtain stable high speed rotation. Firstly, stability of the gyroscopic motion of rigid mode is examined at low speed rotation. Subsequently. influence of flexibility of the stator shaft on stability is discussed. Then we indicate that nonlinearity of the power amplifier plays an important role in stabilIty of the system. Finally, a suppression method usIng notch-fillers and lnler-axis cross coupling feedback at relatIvely high speed rotation is discussed. | |||||

Abstract: Many papers have been written on magnetic bearings. These papers are divided into two categories: One is the use of magnetic bearings taking the place of contact bearings, and the other is the use of noncontact actuators for active vibration control. These categories are combined in applications. The research on using magnetic bearings in place of contact bearings has been going on for years. As early as 1842 it was known that magnetic bearings should have at least one direction actively controlled [lJ. For the last century and a half there has been a great deal of research and development. Magnetic bearings have been used mainly in experiments and in aircraft and missile inertial guidance control. However, these bearings are now coming into use in the industrial world [2J for turbo-molecular pumps [3], machine tool spindles, etc. Although these magnetic bearings are for rigid rotors [4 to 6J, they recently have been used with flexible rotors [7 to 9J. In such applications. the magnetic bearings suppress unbalance vibration. Many papers have been published on this subject [10 to 16]. | |||||

Abstract: This paper deals with two related types of electrodynamically suspended rotors, acting either as momentum or reaction wheels for spacecraft attitude control purposes. One is of the three-axis active type, the other involves five actively controlled degrees of freedom. The wheels are of a pancake design with the control forces acting on the outer rim where the main rotor mass is concentrated thus avoiding low structural resonances. The rim is decoupled from the hub by titanium springs. Both wheels provide a vernier gimballing capability enabling three-axis attitude control of spacecraft with one rotating mass only. A special decoupling tilt control loop design eliminates all gyroscopic effects, such as precessional and nutational oscillations. The electrodynamic bearing principle is advantageous because main parts of the mass can be concentrated on the outer rim of the rotor contributing to the desired inertia. Force generation is linear involving only very small lags and practically no cross-coupling exist between the orthogonal axes facilitating a control strategy to prevent disturbing unbalanced forces from affecting the stator of the bearing for the use in so-called 'micro-gravity' environment. The wheels are actually in the development phase and in the paper the principles, the design, the control loops and first results are presented. | |||||

One of the tested pumps has unique 4-axis control magnetic bearings that utilize both electromagnets and permanent magnets and features excellent zero power control, while the order has 5-axis control magnetic bearings that control all five degrees of freedom except for the rotating component around the shaft. Three types of seismic waves, El-centro, Taft, and Hachinohe and their time responses on a building floor were produced on the vibration table. The displacement of the shaft under vibrating conditions was less than 60 mp-p in each test, thus it was confirmed that active magnetic bearings do actually possess sufficient bearing stiffness. | |||||

Next, steady state coning mot ions, which have been called as steady state precessional motion, are discussed based on angular momentum vector and it is shown that they have two modes; precessional mode and nutational one.

Abstract: The principles and features of a measurement system with magnetic bearings for providing information for balancing a rotor are described. The proposed system uses magnetic bearings not only as a device supporting a rotor but also as a device measuring and compensating unbalance forces. In the system the total forces acting on a rotor can be balanced by controlling the bearing forces actively; measuring and locating unbalance on the rotor are performed in such states. Some experiments of measurement are carried out by using a magnetic bearing spindle as a single-plane balancing machine. The obtained results show the feasibility of a measurement system for balancing a rotor based upon the proposed principles of measuring. | |||||

Abstract: An alternative modelling technique is proposed in place of the well known modal reduction method for mechanical system modelling. The method, called quasi-modal reduction, belongs to the category of mode synthesis methods and represents a special way of substructuring. Its main advantage is the adaptability of the reduced mechanical model to varying boundary conditions, as they are often encountered in control design for mechatronics systems. A mass-spring model of the reduced mechanical system can be derived for flexible mechanical systems. As an application example, a possible control layout method, a Luenberger observer modified for mechanical vibrational systems, is indicated. | |||||

1988 | Larsonneur, R. and Herzog, R. | Optimal Design of Structure Predefined Discrete Control for Rotors in Magnetic Bearings | Proceedings of ISMB1 - Courtesy of Springer-Verlag | ||
Abstract: Many layout techniques of time-discrete control algorithms for magnetic bearings are based on quasi-continuous approximations of traditional time-continuous controllers, although this approach does not provide the full dynamic range and may even lead to instability. State-feedback methods require an observer since the number of measured signals is usually less than the number of states in the mathematical rotor model. In case of flexible rotor structures this observer approach leads to a high-order fully coupled controller and often shows untolerable parameter sensitivity. The goal of this paper is to present a layout method for optimal discrete dynamic compensators with structural constraints typical in magnetic bearing applications, i.e. a predefined controller order or a decentralized feedback structure, in order to fill the gap between well known PD-algorithms and state-LQ-schemes. Similar to the latter method the optimal feedback coefficients are obtained by minimization of a quadratic perfom1ance index. Both the perfom1ance index and the corresponding vector gradient can be computed easily for every set of feedback parameters. Quick convergence can be achieved by a powerfull numerical optimization routine. Results of a SPOC-D (Structure-Predefined Optimal Control for Discrete systems) layed out simple magnetic bearing system are presented and compared with the system properties obtained by standard controller design methods. | |||||

Abstract: For the purpose of clean and high speed rotation, an actively controlled magnetic bearing has been developed. Recently, a digital control system has been used to get high performance by using the state variable feedback. However, the gyroscopic or inductive mutual effect of a rotating disc sometimes makes the high speed rotor unstable. This paper introduces a new digital control scheme which utilizes the rotational interruption. The standard PID control is carried out with the constant time interval interruption, while the rotational interruption subroutine carries the static error cancellation and the cross coupling feedback to compensate for the undesirable mutual effect. This scheme is applied to a single rotor bearing system, and its capability is tested. | |||||

Abstract: The unique features and applications of this magnetic bearing essentially result from two facts: (1) The only bearing components attached to the rotor are non-laminated ferromagnetic steel collars or cylinders; (2) all radial as well as axial forces are transmitted via radial gaps. The stator assembly needs no axially overhanging components that might impose restrictions on the rotor design and axial mobility. Due to the use of flux modulation technique wide radial gaps (25 om are real ised) can be provided at virtually zero-power conditions. The large gaps allow for effective encapsulation and shielding of rotors at elevated (or low) temperatures, corrosive environment, voltage potentials, and pressure. A 2-kg X-ray rotary anode was operated under high-vacuum conditions at + 100 kV anode potential, 6000C temperature at the bearing collars and speed 18,000 r.p.m. with 13 mm radial gaps. The complete X-ray tube is easily exchangeable by removing it from the stator assembly along the axial direction. Similar handling conditions were achieved with hollow cylindrical rotors (up to 500 mls periphal speed at the bearing gap), spin turbines and choppers (up to 90,000 r.p.m.), and with long-stroke supporting shafts for crystal pulling plants. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic suspension systems have been developed at the University of Virginia Holmes and Beams 1937) for the special purpose of spinning small bodies up to ultimate speed. The frictional torque acting on a rotating body when being suspended in a magnetic field with a highly symmetric flux distribution around the vertical axis was found to be many orders of magnitude lower than the torque exerted by gas friction at atmospheric pressure. Consequently, that type of suspension system was proposed and used 1ateron for pressure determination in rarefied gases. Drag torques down to 10-17 Nm have been resolved under optimum laboratory conditions. The present paper describes the magnetic suspension system of the "Spinning Rotor Vacuum Gauge" (SRG) which as a commercial unit resolves about 10-14 Nm under regular laboratory conditions. This figure corresponds to a pressure resolution of about 10-7 mbar, nitrogen equivalent, of the gauge. The SRG was introduced as a transfer standard in 1979 by BIPM and is commercially available since 1981. The gauge head functions will be discussed with special emphasis on minimization of the residual drag. | |||||

Abstract: Early uses of scanning tunneling microscopes indicate that many areas of science could greatly benefit if centimeter scale obj ects could be probed on an atomic scale. This could be accomplished by the development of a linear slide having one Angstrom resolution and a one-tenth meter range of travel. Magnetic suspension technology has been proposed as an ideal candidate for the suspension of the linear slide. This technology is attractive since it combines low noise, excellent positioning accuracy, zero wear, and requires no lubrication. The paper examines the feasibility of developing a magnetic suspension with a required resolution exceeding one Angstrom and establishes the requirements for this suspension. The achievable resolution is shown to be determined by position measurement accuracy, suspension gain, suspension bandwidth, and disturbance force levels. Expected disturbance force levels from ground motion, air currents, and acoustic effects are projected. Given the expected disturbance force levels, measurement accuracy, and required controller performance, a magnetic suspension could be developed which would provide resolution better than the one Angstrom required. | |||||

Abstract: The stiffness of permanent magnet bearings, PMB’s, composed of only two magnet rings is limited, and it is well known that increasing the size of these magnets by increasing their cross section area has a very limited effect on bearing performance. Instead, in order to gain enough stiffness, axially stacked structures of comparatively smaller permanent magnets are frequently being used. By arranging the magnets with alternating polarity, the flux derivatives as well as the bearing stiffness are known to be increased. | |||||

Abstract: This paper proposes a new way to combine radial and axial active magnetic bearingsin a unit. The proposed active magnetic bearing (AMB) has no large axial disk and instead use the Lorentz force for axial control. Thus this AMB system can be more compact. Its structure is basically similar to the homopolar AMB with four cores circumferentially connectedby yokes. But it has two-layer windings for radial and axial controls; one is configured like a homopolar AMB, and the other is the same as that of a 4-pole heteropolar AMB. Since each winding can be used for radial control, the proposed system has two kinds of operating principle according to the radial control type. As for axial control action, it uses the Lorentz force generated by the interaction of the bias flux for radial control and the axial control flux. The feasibility of this scheme is experimentally verified by using a simple PD controller with a feedforward loop. | |||||

For a strong levitation force,the permanent magnets of PMB are stacked like Halbach array, and for rotation, it works just likea switched reluctance motor. Compared with conventional self-bearing motors which are mostly based on the theory of active magnetic bearings, the proposed self-bearingmotor has a very simple and small structure, and the production costis very low.

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings and bearingless motors have begun to be used in industry and medical technology. When the rotor is short with respect to its diameter, it is possible to stabilize three degrees of freedom passively by reluctance forces. For this type of motor a new approach to a mechanical design is presented – the Bearingless Segment Motor. This paper deduces a model of the new motor for current injection. Finite element simulations allow the optimisation of force and torque, the reduction of cogging torque and reluctance forces as well as the consideration of the passive radial and passive axial stiffness. However, the force distribution and the mathematical model are nonlinear. Therefore a suitable nonlinear control scheme is presented.

Abstract: This paper proposes a 4-pole outer rotor type self-bearing motor which uses Lorentz force with Halbach magnet. It is expected to have good dynamic response and high levitation capability. For realizing high magnetic flux in airgap, Halbach magnet is used for the rotor. First, previous model of 8-pole motor is introduced and the associated problems are summarized. That is, the control forces for x and y directions were quite different and the levitation was unstable. For stable levitation, two sets of three phase coils were used and the system became complex. To overcome these problems, a new 4-pole and three segmented Halbach magnets are introduced. The fundamental principle is explained how the motor produces rotating torque and radial levitation forces. Finally, the motor is designed and fabricated. The levitated rotating test was carried out successfully. The top speed of 7400 [rpm] and the maximum motor efficiency of 72 [%]were recorded. | |||||

Abstract: Flux control in magnetic actuators can be achieved by additional field superposition or flux path ma-nipulation. Usually, coils are used for external flux control, but inductance lags and ohmic losses degrade actuator effi-ciency. To design energy-efficient reluctance force actuators innovative concepts for controlling the magnetic flux without coils are investigated. On the one hand, this contribution deals with variable reluctance elements based on the in-verse magnetostrictive effect. On the other, magnetic flux is redirected in the magnetic circuit by means of small displacements of reluctance switch elements. For high ma-nipulation rates these elements feature cog-slot structures. Some general design rules are outlined and two examples of application are presented. An active magnetic bearing and a bidirectional actuator are simulated and compared to a bipolar electromagnetic actuator. Finally, all results show the capability of coil-less reluctance force actuators to outperform present electromagnetic systems in terms of bandwidth and energy balance. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, feasibility studies for a new type of bearingless motor are carried out by FEM analyses and experiments. The feature of the bearingless motor is using a rotor with rectifier circuit coil, which makes the rotor act as a permanent magnet. The optimum geometrical dimensions of the proposed bearingless motor are determined by the calculations of rotor torques about various rotor tooth lengths. The results indicate that large enough torque can be generated. The dimension with which the motor has relatively minimum fluctuation and smoothness torque has been chosen to build a test model. In order to realize the radial forces and rotation control, a strategy which adopts sine and cosine control currents of rotor angle has been test. FEM analysis is also used for evaluating the property of the proposed strategy. The results show that the generated radial force fluctuates with the rotor angle, however, the linearity of the generated forces to control currents is verified, and feedback control can be used to reduce this problem. | |||||

Abstract: Previous work has shown that the segmented displaced trapezoidal winding produces Lorentz forces in two orthogonal directions on a permanent magnet rotor. This paper presents a unique collection of trapezoidal windings in a spherical geometry to provide active control of all 6 degrees of freedom. Equations for force and torque generation are presented, and a “decoupling� control scheme is applied to the actuator such that the 3 bearing forces and 3 control torques are decoupled and independent. The construction of a prototype is also discussed and experimental results are presented with good agreement with the theory. | |||||

Abstract: In this work, the nonlinear modelling and analy-sis of an AMB system, based on the MBC500 Rotor Dynamics from Launchpoint Technologies, is presented. This approach is based on the harmonic domain linearization of the AMB system around a nonlinear stationary solution, under different rotating speeds. The nonlinear nature of the response appears at high speeds, due to the large oscillations introduced by the shaft unbalance. Using the presented methodology, low frequency gain loss is detected when increasing the rotating speed. This phenomenon causes the instability of the system, leading to destructive crashes. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, an innovated AC-DC 3 degrees of freedom hybrid magnetic bearing is proposed, which is driven by a DC amplifier in axial direction and a 3-phase power converter in radial directions respectively, and the axial and radial bias magnetic fluxes are provided by a common radial polarized permanent magnet ring. The principle of producing magnetic suspension forces is introduced. By using equivalent magnetic circuit method, the calculation formulas of magnetic suspension forces and the mathematics models of the system are deduced. Nonlinearities of suspension forces and cross coupling between different degrees of freedom are studied further by calculating the suspension forces at different displacements and control currents to validate the feasibility of the mathematics models. Then based on the mathematics models of the bearing, a digital control method of this novel bearing is designed. The theory analysis and test results have shown that this magnetic bearing incorporates the merits of 3-phase AC drive, permanent magnet flux biased and axial-radial combined control, and reduces overall system size and has higher efficiency and lower cost. | |||||

Abstract: A 5 degrees of freedom bearingless induction motor is a multi-variable, nonlinear and strong-coupled system. In order to achieve rotor suspension and operation steadily, it is necessary to realize dynamic decoupling control between torque force and suspension forces. In the paper, a method based on a-th order inverse system theory is used to study on dynamic decoupling control of bearingless induction motors. Firstly, the working principles of 3 degrees of freedom magnetic bearing and 2 degrees of freedom bearingless induction motor are analysed, the radial-axial force equations of 3 degrees of freedom magnetic bearing and the electromagnetic torque equation and radial force equations of the 2 degrees of freedom bearingless induction motor are given, and then the state equations of the 5 degrees of freedom bearingless induction motor are set up. Secondly, feasibility of decoupling control based on dynamic inverse theory for bearingless induction motor is discussed in detail, and the dynamic feedback linearization method is used to decouple and linearize the system. Finally, linear control system techniques are applied to these linearization subsystems to synthesize and simulate. The simulation results have shown that this kind of control strategy can realize dynamic decoupling control between torque force and suspension forces of the 5 degrees of freedom bearingless induction motor, and the control system has good dynamic and static performance. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearings have advantages such as no friction loss, no abrasion, lubrication free operation, and so on. However they are not used widely due to their high cost and large size. In order to solve these problems, an active magnetic bearing having a simple structure with distributed windings is proposed. The rotor consists of a permanent magnet and an iron yoke, which rotate in a body. The stator consists of a 3-phase distributed winding and is installed between a permanent magnet and a back yoke of the rotor. A Lorentz-force is generated by the stator current, and the rotor position is controlled by this force. In this paper, the bearing force is analyzed theoretically, and its control method is shown. A simple experiment confirmed that the proposed AMB can be realized. | |||||

Abstract: Taking an electric miller spindle equipped with AMB as the research object, this paper have established the non-linear dynamic model of five degrees of freedom for the rotor-AMB system, and carried on the numerical solution using the principle of multi-scale method and combined with the numerical analysis method. Besides, from the nonlinear viewpoint, the dynamic characteristics of rotor-AMB system have been studied; the bifurcation and chaos phenomenon of five degrees of freedom systems have been analyzed else. The results show, in the nonlinear scope, the rotor can appear the instability in certain situations, so there exists a question to judge the stability. The partial bifurcation curves generally enter from the sub-critical bifurcation region to the supercritical bifurcation region, then return to the sub-critical bifurcation region once more; The chaos phenomenon confirmed that, the rotor system can appear the chaos phenomenon under the certain condition, when striding across the critical speeds the chaos phenomenon is quite obvious. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, a phase margin, a gain margin, a sensitivity function, a maximum singular value of sensitivity function matrix and a damping ratio are taken up as indices which evaluate the stability margin of a rotor levitated by active magnetic bearings. The definition of the stability margin in this research is how far away the gain margin, the phase margin and the reciprocal number of the sensitivity function are from the critical point (-1 ,j0) in a polar plot. The stability margin distance is proposed to unify above-mentioned indices. We have estimated stability of a rotor-AMB system by these five indices and investigated relations among the indices. | |||||

Abstract: In the majority of cases, magnetically levitated rotors are equipped with externally mounted position sensors, i.e. a dislocation between bearing and sensor plane occurs. The disparity between actual and measured rotor position can cause system instability due to natural oscillations of the shaft. This paper proposes a method for avoiding this problem by integrating capacitive position sensors straight into the stator laminations of a radial magnetic bearing. The stronger sensor noise originating from the proximity between bearing coils and sensors can be reduced effectively by means of a stochastical state estimator. Different types of KALMAN filters used for these purposes, both linear and extended ones, are presented in this paper. It is shown how unknown bearing parameters can be estimated by means of the filter. Concluding, a LQG controller (optimal controller combined with optimal state estimator) is presented and compared to an optimally parametrised PID controller. All methods proposed in this paper are approved by measurements. | |||||

Abstract: There is growing interest in magnetic bearing applications because of their advantages for contactless support, high-speed operation, vibration control, condition monitoring and fault diagnostics. However, they have limited force capacity and have to incorporate retainer bearings to protect the laminations when vibration levels reach the clearance level. Retainer bearings can take a relatively small number of rotor drops followed by machine shutdown. There are many potential applications where transient events or sudden changes in operating conditions could drive the rotor into contact with retainer bearings. These include land, sea and air transport applications, which are exposed to external inputs and disturbances, and system shut down is not acceptable. This paper describes the application of a Recursive Open Loop Adaptive Controller (ROLAC), an adaptive and fast acting controller, to prevent contact between a flexible rotor and retainer bearing. If however contact does occur, then the control action will minimize the damage and recover the rotor position without the need to shut down the system. It is assumed that the magnetic bearings are fully operational and contact is due to external disturbances such as sudden un-balance, base excitation, blade loss or damage. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control algorithm. | |||||

Abstract: Control of steel sheet shape and vibration at the air knives can increase the quality, save zinc and reduce costs. In this paper, an electromagnetic actuator set is designed toevaluate the feasibility of using active magnetic levitation technology to control vibration of the steel sheet at the air knives. Electromagnetic actuators and eddy-current position sensors are used. Because there are welding lines on the steel sheet causing the unsmooth thickness of steel sheet, multi sensor technologyis adopted to make the performance calculation resultreflect the steel sheet’s real status. For the proper sensor placement, the modal analysis of the steel strip is applied. In addition, the location of the electromagnetic actuator is designed according to the principle of “equal rigidity�. So the control parameters used in laboratory can be referenced to that of the workplace. Then PID controller is used to control the sheet motion. In order to get enough forcesto control vibration, cross-section within the magnetic loop is increased, and one kind of new material with more saturation flux is selected. Through experimental verification and galvanizing line test, the set can stabilize the sheet motion greatly, improve the galvanizing quality and save zinc. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents coupled electromagnetic and thermal modelling of active magnetic bearing systems. In magnetic bearing systems, the electric, magnetic, eddy current and thermal processes are intrinsically coupled. There are two major sources of heat generated in magnetic bearing: the heat generated by the DC current in the excitation coils and the heat generated by the eddy current in the high speed rotating parts. The eddy current is not uniformly distributed in the rotor and thrust bearing. In this paper, the magnetic filed is first modelled using 2D/3D finite element analysis (FEA). The eddy current information obtained in FEA is then transferred to thermal FEA model to perform thermal analysis. Hot spots can be identified in this procedure. By using Ansoft’s Electromagnetic package, the 2D/3D FEA is coupled with thermal FEA through e-Physics. Data can be automatically linked and exchanged between the magnetic and thermal models. The experiment data on a test platform validated the proposed model. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) require a feedback controller for stable operation. This paper describes a procedure which allows for fully automated initial levitation with no knowledge about the AMB system. Combined with some adaptive or self-tuning techniques, bearings could be setup automatically with minimal human interaction, without calibration or tuning. Based on the ideal and linearized model of a single mass one degree of freedom levitated body, the criterion for a stable suspension is reviewed. A step-by-step description outlines how the needed parameters are found which lead to a stabilizing controller. A more general, hybrid model including sensor and amplifier dynamics as well as a discrete-time PID controller is used to compare the regions of stabilizing control parameters to the ideal case.

Abstract: In this paper, we adopt the gap metric tool to analyze uncertainty propagation in rotor-AMB systems. Of special interest is the effect of open loop plant uncertainties on the closed-loop stability. The results indicate that robustness property under general feedback varies with different sources of uncertainty, i.e., some uncertainties can be easily sup-pressed by any stabilizing controller, while other uncertainties can be amplified. As a result, uncertainty can be classified according to its effect on the closed-loop robustness. From design and analysis perspective, some uncertainties can be effectively approximated or even neglected while others must be accurately modeled, and addressed explicitly in the design and analysis. | |||||

2006 | Li, G., Maslen, E.H. and Allaire, P.E. | A Note on ISO AMB Stability Margin | Proceedings of ISMB10 | ||
Abstract: Stability is a primary robustness requirement. The stability margin is therefore a measure of the amount of system deviation from some nominal, stable configuration that can be tolerated before the system becomes unstable. The notion of ‘system deviation’ can imply many forms and mechanisms: engineers must, perforce, focus on those most likely to afflict a given system in order to obtain a meaningful assessment of relative stability. This note discusses the stability margins of rotor-AMB sys-tems. Particular attention is focused on the output sensitivity, whose peak amplitude is a common measure of sensitivity and is adopted by the new ISO standards for AMB systems. One objective is to illustrate that many common sources of instability in rotordynamic systems may be completely missed by this measure and, further, that controller design targeting reduction in output sensitivity may, in fact, lead to very poor robustness to these mechanisms. Several examples are developed to show that, while limiting the sensitivity peak is a necessary condition for rotor-AMB system stability, it may not be sufficient to ensure commercially viable robustness to common destabilizing mechanisms such as aerodynamic cross-coupling or hysteretic damping in the rotor. The primary observation is that, if the AMB is the destabilizing mechanism, then the output sensitivity will reveal it, but if the destabilizing mechanism is endemic to the rotor and the relevant feedback is not collocated with the AMB connectivity, then the output sensitivity may not assess its effect. | |||||

Abstract: This paper introduces an aspect of Zero-Power magnetic levitation control, in which the levitated object is released or placed in a natural way without any external control commands. This intrinsic placing behavior is a result of the characteristic control feature that the coil current is actively controlled to zero instead of controlling the air gap, which is the case in conventional control strategies. The principle of this placing behavior will be explained and analyzed in this paper. A guideline to tune the controller settings to achieve this placing behavior is given and it will be supported by experiments. | |||||

Abstract: In control moment gyroscope (CMG) based on magnetically suspended rotor (MSCMG), owing to wide controller bandwidth required by nutation stability at high rotational speed, bending mode between disk and axis of rotor with I-shaped configuration becomes unstable and tends to self-exciting vibration within the range of rotor speed. This elastic vibration can be depressed through adopting notch filter (NF) in original controller of active magnetic bearing (AMB), but NF design is still an issue since high-speed flat rotor features strong gyroscopic effect and coupling radial motions. By introducing complex representation, four DOFs (degrees of freedom) of dynamic model of magnetically suspend rotor considering unstable first-order bending mode is converted into single variable form without changing poles and stability. An illustrative and robust method of two-frequency Bode diagram is proposed to analyze elastic mode stability. Correction angle requirements of bending mode at various rotor speeds are summarized and parameters including NF grade, center frequency and pole damp are designed optimally. Employing the optimized notch filter, elastic vibration amplitude of statically suspended rotor of MSCMG was attenuated by -50.0dB comparing to original and the rotor is robustly stable within the entire speed range up to 20000r/min. | |||||

Abstract: This work describes the Vectorial Speed Control System of a triphasic bearingless induction machine with divided windings of 1.1 kW. The control strategy used in this system is the quadrature vectorial control. To implement the control algorithm, was chosen the rotor flux referential, which is being estimated through the stator winding currents and the rotor speed. The vectorial speed controller operates in synchronism with the radial positioning controller, but these controllers should work with low mutual influence. The control system is being implemented in a 16 bits DSP (Digital Signal Processor), which operates at 40 MHz. The algorithm was developed in the ANSI C language. | |||||

Abstract: In industrial rotational machinery, it has been required that a long span and a high-speed rotor are designed in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs. In concerning many flexible rotors, the 1st bending critical speed and the 2nd bending critical speed have been passed, but never the 3rd critical speed. In this study a flexible rotor having the 3rd bending critical speed within the rated speed was designed, and was tested to pass the 3rd bending critical speed, owing to fine tuning of Active Magnetic Bearing controller and accurate balancing method. | |||||

Abstract: The treated vibration isolation system uses zero-power magnetic suspension for realizing negative stiffness and combines it with a spring that has positive stiffness (positive spring). Infinite stiffness against direct disturbance is achieved by setting the amplitude of negative stiffness to equal the positive stiffness. One of the problems of this system is that the amplitude of negative stiffness varies from the nominal value when disturabance force is applied to the isolation table. This paper presents two approaches to overcoming this problem. One is to apply a nonlinear feedback control to zero-power magnetic suspension. The other is to use a magnetic spring as a positive spring. The carried out experiment demonstrated the efficacy of both the methods. | |||||

Abstract: Due to increasing demand in accuracy, the semi-conductor and optical disc mastering industry are looking for nanometer resolution vacuum compatible positioning systems. Magnetic bearings are ideally suited for this purpose, because here is there is no need for lubrication. The IU-module is a modular two degree of freedom mag-netic actuator for suspension and propulsion. The uniqueness of this actuator lies in the moving iron principle in which only iron is moving and there are no wires going to the moving body . With three IU-modules a six degree of freedom linear slider is constructed. The specifications for the slider are taken from the optical disc mastering industry , where the resolution of a single nanometer is required. To achieve nm-resolution close synergy between mechanical construction and controller design is needed. This paper shows the successful realization and controller implementation of a sub nanometer positioning slider system using the IU-modules. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, a novel adaptive vibration control algorithm is proposed by introducing a parameter K. The asymptotic stable condition of this algorithm is mathematically derived. In the case of stationary disturbance, the algorithm is an unbalance vibration control for K=0, while for K=1, it becomes an adaptive vibration control with consumed current control. With a non-zero K, the present control algorithm is suitable for non-stationary disturbance. To validate the applicability of the present control algorithm, a series of experiments are carried out under stationary and non-stationary disturbance conditions with K ranging from 0 to 1. Our results indicate that it is possible to find an appropriate value for K to realize a relatively optimal control of both vibration and consumed current simultaneously. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, we address a new method of switching the critical speed by control the bias current of magnetic bearing. The bias is changeable in the sense that is a function of the rotational speed, and varies on-line in a manner that the critical speed of the rotor is controlled far away from the rotational speed of the rotor. The total stiffness of system is switched with the additional stiffness, the critical speed is switched also. In order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, the method is applied to a 10MWh class energy storage flywheel system to realize the control of passing through critical speed in the range of control. A simulation study illustrates the performance of the proposed bias current control method is validity for control of passing through the critical of magnetic bearing systems. | |||||

The primary target was a FESS for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, however, the design can also be easily adapted for Earth-based applications. The main advantages of Homopolar Electrodynamic Bearings compared to more conventional Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) are simplicity and very low power ratings of their electronics. These result in higher system reliability, which is a critical factor for space applications. For commercial applications, these technologies may equally be found very attractive due to a potentially lower cost when compared to AMB. | |||||

Abstract: It is well known that a ferromagnetic material can be levitated by a field cooled superconductor. This paper presents a new method to model the pinning effect by using a Finite Element Method (FEM). Being comparedwith the experimental results the validity of the presented method is verified. Furthermore, the effect of pole shape on the stiffness of the levitation system is investigated. The relationship between the attractive force and the air gap was numerically analyzed and experimentally measured at both, room temperature (RT) and superconductivity state (77 K). Results obtained from FEM modeling show a good agreement with experimental results. It was found that the stiffness of the system becomes almost double (6 N/mm) when the ring pole is used instead of cylindrical pole with the same surface area. | |||||

Abstract: The dynamics of the contact-free hovering active magnetic bearing (AMB) depends mainly on the implemented control law. The more of the whole rotor system characteristics are known, the higher quality controller is designed, and the more reliable rotating operation can be realized. In order to make the identification procedure more convenient, a new development platform based on virtual instruments was chosen to design the identification system. Experiment was done on an active magnetic bearing system after the identification system was finished. The model parameters of HTR-10GT principle AMB system were identified by the help of the designed identification system, and the amplitude-frequency curve, phase-frequency curve and transfer function of the AMB system in the working frequency-domain were achieved. The identified information not only lays foundation for analyzing the characteristics of the AMB system (such as zero-pole distribution, stability margin, stiffness and damping), but also offers a kind of analysis and experimental tool for the optimized designing of the control system. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings present a new technology which has many advantages compared to traditional bearing designs. Active magnetic bearings, however, require retainer bearings in order to prevent damages in the event of a component, power or control loop failure. In the drop-down situation the design parameters of the retainer bearings have a significant influence on the behavior of the rotor. In this study, the dynamics of an active magnetic bearings supported electric motor when the rotor is dropped on retainer bearings is studied using a multibody simulation model. The retainer bearings are modeled using a detailed ball bearing model, which accounts damping and stiffness properties, oil film and friction between races and rolling elements. The model of the magnetic bearing system contains unbalances of the rotor and stiffness and damping properties of support. In this study, a computationally efficient contact model between the rotor and the retainer bearings is proposed. | |||||

Abstract: A digital control system using a real time variant of Linux is developed and implemented on a bench-top rotor suspended on active magnetic bearings. The combination of simple hardware and open source software provides a useful educational and research platform for digital control methods that is unencumbered by proprietary constraints as well as one that is more cost effective than available commercial systems. A real time operating system must ensure that specific tasks are executed at a fixed rate regardless of other system level demands. This is achieved with special purpose kernels that allow Linux to run as a low priority task within the real time operating system. Digital filters are constructed and coded in C, the native language of Linux. The controller is implemented on an off-the-shelf Pentium 3 personal computer operating in a multiple channel configuration at 10 KHz. | |||||

Abstract: In view of limitations of mathematical model only suited for the single-phase excitation mode in bearingless switched reluctance motors (BSRM), a novel mathematical model of BSRM with one or two-phase excitation is proposed. The inductance matrix is constructed based on the magnetic equivalent circuits in the two-phase excitation mode. New mathematical formulas of radial force and electromagnetic torque are derived. The operating area of BSRM can be expanded to a great extent. The capability of bearing radial force is enhanced greatly. Computer simulations with magnetic-field analytical-method verify the validity and fine characteristics of the new mathematical model. Two optimizing methods to distribute currents of two-phase windings including main windings and radial force windings for practical applications are also proposed. | |||||

With assumptions of moderate eddy currents developed in the rotor and stator, an approximate general form of the magnetic force is derived. The results show that the eddy current due to rotation of the rotor affects the magnitude of the static force and amplitude of the dynamic force while that induced by the dynamic control current will reduce the amplitude of the dynamic force and cause phase lag. Moreover, eddy current due to rotation results in equal decrease in the magnitude or amplitude of the static and dynamic forces. The current stiffness then derived with the dynamical force shows that the varieties of the stiffness with speed has a similar trend to that of the static one. A case study was investigated by FEM and the results agree well with the analysis. Furthermore, since the flux saturation in the eddy current regions is moderate, the nonlinear model considering flux saturation gives nearly the same results as the linear one. The result is applicable to not only solid rotor and stator but also to laminated structures. | |||||

Abstract: Control of an AMB supported machining spin-dle was explored to determine the potential advantages of µ-synthesis relative to more a conventional strategy based on PID with notch filters. The spindle was manufactured by Revolve Magnetic Bearings, Inc. and adapted to permit control using a dSpace real time digital controller. This very open platform enabled introduction of arbitrary control algorithms, synthesized in MatLab(TM) . The study compares the performance of a carefully de-signed PID + notch compensator to that of aµ-synthesized controller. The main finding is thatµ-synthesis is better able to reduce tool tip compliance than is PID+notch and that this improvement was a factor of at least 2 over a wide range of frequencies for the spindle examined. | |||||

Abstract: Typical models for AMB actuators consist of a static linearized mapping from displacement and current to force (f ˜-Kxx+Kii) and are augmented with actuator dynamics (bandwidth and gain) which act to correlate a command signalVc to resulting current: I(s)=Ga(s)Vc(s). In the present work, we show that this model misses a number of potentially important features, most notably the effect of amplifier bandwidth limitations on the term mapping displacement to force (Kx) and the related influence of journal motion induced back-EMF. In addition, we show how actuator eddy currents interact with the amplifier dynamics and how to model the resulting composite system. | |||||

Abstract: The introduction of digital control into AMB systems brings us not only many benefits but also the time delay in computing control output, so called computing time delay. In this paper, a 2-degree rigid rotor magnetic system is employed and the negative effect of computing time delay on this system is discussed. Then an attempt to improve control strategies on compensation for time delay is made and a state predictive module is introduced into closed-loop control system. Simulation results show the control performance degrades owning to computing time delay, even causing instability when the value of time delay exceeds the upper bound as we discussed. And via the addition of time delay compensating module, the control performance is well improved, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract: Active magnetic bearing (AMB) is a kind of advanced high speed bearing, it is used to suspend rotor without contact between stator and rotor by magnetic power. At present researches on active magnetic bearing mainly focus on power amplifier and control system, but the researches on its power losses are very few. Because active magnetic bearing is turning at high speed, its power losses can not be neglected. Power losses can increase the temperature of AMB, make stator and rotor thermal deformation, have an effect on bearing’s orientation, even make stator and rotor produce distortion, and influence active magnetic bearing normaloperation. At the same time, it can reduce insulation capability of windings; shorten its life-span. So it is important to estimate the power losses to insure AMB normal operation. There are three kinds of power losses in AMB, including copper losses, iron losses and windage losses. It is necessary to research and compute the three kind of power losses. This paper investigated present researches on power dissipation of AMB, summarized three dissipation models, gave their computational methods and their application range. Copper losses can be computed by ohm law. Iron losses consist of eddy losses and hysteresis losses. Eddy losses are generally proportional to the square of frequency. Hysteresis losses are generally proportional to frequency. So hysteresis losses are very low in iron losses at high frequency and can be ignored, but it will account for the large proportion of iron losses at low frequency. And iron losses depend on the arrangement of magnetic pole, such as alternating pole (NSSN) and paired pole (NNSS). At present the analysis of iron losses are based on such assumptions as material linearity and neglect of magnetic saturation, but material nonlinearity must be token into account when AMB rotates at high speed, so actual iron losses are larger than computational results. Windage losses can be described by fluid state in air gap and corresponding empirical formula, and in high-speed motors the surface speed of the rotor is typically between 150 and 400 m/s. At this range the windage losses are proportional to the cube of the surface speed. Index Terms – active magnetic bearing; copper losses; iron losses; windage losses. | |||||

Abstract: The paper evaluates the sliding mode control methodology as a control law for an active magneticbearing. Developments in power electronics has made it possible to implement a modern control theory to various kinds of electrical and mechanical systems. This paper describes sliding mode control of a single-axis magnetic bearing’s actuator. Sliding mode control (SMC) offers several advantages over the other control methods as follows: robustness; good dynamic response; simple implementation. Sliding mode control is a non-linear, model-based control method supported by the Lyapunov stability theory. It has been proved to be an efficient technique to provide good tracking performance, applied to non-linear systems with external disturbances. It also allows the plant model to be imprecise, for example a model that has been simplified due to difficulties in representing system dynamics. Among applications where sliding mode control has been applied successfully there are: submarines, ground vehiclesand aeroplanes. | |||||

Abstract: Wavelet analysis provides a method of identify-ing localised time-frequency components within a vibratory signal. It also has direct links with digital signal processing. This paper focuses on the use of wavelet analysis within ro-tor/active magnetic bearing systems for fault detection, system identification and closed loop transient control. The closed loop controller is formulated in the wavelet coefficient domain using real-time evaluation of the wavelet transform, which involves a signal processing delay. The controller is designed to mimimise the wavelet coefficients of measured rotor vibration signals. Hence, this implies that the rotor vibration will be attenuated by the control action. Experimental results are presented to show how control in the wavelet coefficient domain is effective in attenuating transient rotor vibration arising from step synchronous input forces. | |||||

Abstract: The tracking solver we propose is defined by sliding mode control theory so that the numerical time history of the solution traces exact values. If one of the initial solutions is provided, the solver calculates all solutions as parameters change from initial to final. The solver solves linear or nonlinear equations. Here we apply it to controller design based on several control design strategies, i.e., direct pole placement, optimal control, and phase adjustment. These control design methods mainly determine control feedback gain ane other parameters required for closed-loop behavior of the system. Because this solver obtains gain and parameters as the final condition is selected, control is easier to design. We effectively tuned the controller of an active magnetic bearing using this solver. | |||||

Furthemore, the simulation results indicate that time delay mainly affects journal center orbit, And results in the instability of the first natural mode of AMBRS.

Abstract: This paper describes a novel type of magnetic suspension system with a permanent magnet and a rotary actuator. The feature of this suspension system is that a rotary actuator controls attractive force. Varying the angle of the permanent magnet driven by the actuator changes magnetic flux path in the suspension system and controls the suspension force. The merits of this suspension system are that the attractive force of this magnetic circuit can be made to be zero. Moreover this system can change the polarity of stator poles. First an outline of the suspension system will be described. Next, the principle of the suspension mechanism will be explained. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, some basic experiments, a numerical simulation, and an experimental result will be shown. | |||||

Abstract: In a high speed motor system suspended by active magnetic bearings, the bearing load capability is limited, the bias force from the motor rotor produced by permanent magnets is large compared with the bearing load capability and the influence of the residual unbalance in the rotor is obvious. So the active magnetic bearings have to work with nonlinearity conditions and high speed running is hard to be achieved. To deal with the marked nonlinearity of the active magnetic bearing system, a global linearization method is used to linearize the magnetic forces produced by active magnetic bearings. Meanwhile, controller designs are improved. A gain schedule method is used to make the rotor running stable across its rigid critical speed. Through using a zero-pole pair shaping method, the gain of the controller in the frequency domain near the running frequency of the rotor is effectively decreased and the rotor runs almost about its mass centre. The saturation of the magnetic forces of the active magnetic bearings is avoided and stable running of the motor system at high rotation speeds is achieved. | |||||

2006 | Yang, G., Xu, Y., Wan, L., Zhao, L. and Yu, S. | Preliminary Structural Design and Dynamical Analysis of Auxiliary Bearing for HTR-10GT | Proceedings of ISMB10 | ||
Abstract: The electromagnetic bearing was chosen to support the rotor of power conversion unit (PCU) and helium blower fan in 10MW high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR-10GT), and the auxiliary bearing was applied in the HTR-10GT as the backup protector. HTR-10GT is the second phase of the 10MW high-temperature gas-cooled testreactor (HTR-10). HTR-10 is the first module high-temperature gas-cooled test reactor in the world. It was constructed by INET at Tsinghua University of China. A direct gas cycle to replace the current steam cycle of HTR-10 was studied in the HTR-10GT. However, one implication of magnetic bearings is the requirement to provide backup support to mitigate the effects of failures or overload conditions. The auxiliary bearing is used to support the rotor when the magnetic bearing fails to work. Especially when the rotor is rotating with high speed, the magnetic bearing suddenly doesn’t support the rotor for the power off. So it is very important for the auxiliary bearing to protect the rotor system. The PCU rotor’s length is about 7 m, its weight is about 1500 kg and the rotating speed is 15000 r/min. The rotor’s length of helium blower fan is about 1.5 m, its weight is about 240 kg and the rotating speed is about 5400 r/min. The design of the auxiliary bearing is one of the challenging problems in the whole system. It is very important for HTR-10GT to make success. In this paper, the research status ofthe auxiliary bearing was summarized. A sort of preliminary scheme of auxiliary bearing structure was proposed. The falling course was analyzed. The stress of the rotor and auxiliary bearing was computed by the finite element method. MSC.Marc was selected to analyze the vibration mode and the natural frequency of the rotor. The scheme of auxiliary bearing and the analytical results offer the important theoretical base for the protector design of the HTR-10GT. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes a synchronous vibration instability problem that occurred on a two-stage overhung centrifugal compressor. The authors encountered an unbalance vibration that increased spirally in a polar plot at/near the first bending critical speed. An iron loss concentration and a thermal bend by heat have been identified as the cause of the phenomenon, because the vibration stops increasing, when an unbalance force rejection control (UFRC) is applied. In order to exceed the first bending critical speed stably, an rotor unbalance measurement under UFRC and a rapid speed acceleration/deceleration are carried out. The vibration behaviours around the critical speed are simulated and verified experimentally. The stability limit that is depending on rotational speed is calculated and the most important parameter |H/P| in the calculation are determined by measurements. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents zero-power levitation using a composite of magnetostrictive (GMM) /piezoelectric (PZT) materials. The control of the magnetic force is based on the inverse magnetostrictive effect of the GMM, by which the magnetic force can be varied with applied voltage onthe PZT. The distinctive advantage of the composite is zero power consumption while maintaining a constantmagnetic force due to the capacitive property of the PZT. So far we have succeeded the magnetic levitation and verified the advantage of zero power in stationary state. The robustness is, however, low dueto the limited variation of the magnetic force. In this paper, we propose the combination of the composite and electromagnet, where the bias gap is adjusted by the composite and the motion of the levitated yoke is stabilized by the electromagnet. The experimental results of step response verified the zero power consumption in both devices and that the composite driven by small DC-DC converter functions sufficiently to adjust the bias gap. | |||||

Abstract: A high speed spindle will be designed for micro fabrication applications. The aim is to reach 0.1 µm accuracy with a rotational speed of at least 300.000 rpm. A study is done into the behavior of different rotor shapes. A short rotor and a long rotor are modeled by solving the non linear Newton and Euler equations numerically. The short rotor tilts much less under the influence of the cutting forces than a long rotor. The short rotor is thus much stiffer around the rotational axis than a long rotor. Short rotors are easier to bring up to speed. The gyroscopic coupling between the two vertical planes is much stronger in case of a short rotor. This can cause instability and must be taken into account in the design of a control system. The possibility to use this gyroscopic stiffening to our advantage will investigated. Two active magnetic bearing systems will be built. The performance of a long rotor and the performance of a short rotor, both magnetically levitated, will be compared. The design of a magnetic bearing system for a prototype with a long rotor is described in this paper. This prototype is built to gain experience in the design of small magnetic bearings, with permanent magnets for bias. The setup will be used to test the performance of a long rotor. | |||||

Abstract: This paper proposes a noble three-axis repulsive-type magnetic bearing that uses the motion control of permanent magnets. It has a three-segment permanent magnet of support. The motion of each segment is independently controlled with an actuator. This configuration enables the bearing to control the three-dimensional motion of the rotor. Anapparatus is fabricated for experimental study on the proposed magnetic bearing. The dynamics characteristics of the motion control system for the permanent magnets of support were measured. It was demonstrated that the proposed magnetic bearing system can achieve three-dimensional motion control. | |||||

Abstract: In this study, an optimization design method is developed to design the magnetic circuit of the diagonal flow pump for the maglev artificial heart. An optimization design method of the magnetic circuit is developed with genetic algorithms. A reluctance model by using an equivalentcircuit method is used to model the magnetic bearing. Using the proposed method, we were able to optimize a magnetic bearing with an attractive force of 24.2 (N), which is larger than the desired attractive force. The magnetic bearing also has a power consumption of 1.5 (W), which is less than the expected power consumption. In addition, the size of the magnetic bearing is small enough to use for the maglev artificial heart. The developed optimization method with genetic algorithms and the reluctance model by using an equivalent circuit method is a useful design tool for magnetic bearings. | |||||

Abstract: The paper proposes to apply a five degree-of-freedom active magnetic bearing (AMB) for developing compact, multi-axis, high-accuracy and low-cost gyroscopic sensors. In the proposed sensor, angular velocity and acceleration are measured based on the control signal for maintaining the relative position of the shaft to the stator in the AMB. It works as a two-axis gyroscopic sensor and also as a three-axis servo-type accelerometer so that the cost performance of the proposed sensor is expected to be high enough. In order to investigate its feasibility, several basic studies are carried out with a conventional-size AMB. | |||||

Abstract: The 10MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Test Reactor (HTR-10) constructed by the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University in China, is the first modular high-temperature gas-cooled test reactor (HTR) in the world. When combined with the direct gas-turbine cycle, HTR achieves high inherent safety together with high efficiency. Besides, the possibility of water ingress in the core can be eliminated, the power unit design can be simplified and the construction capital and operational costs can be reduced. HTRs are thus considered as one of the most potential candidates for the new generation reactors in the 21st century. The direct gas-turbine cycle requires some kind of special designed bearings to support the shaft on which the gas compressors, turbine and generator are all installed in the primary loop. However, the design of the special bearings is a challenge task. Thanks to the rapid development of the Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) in recent years, the contact-freeand no-lubricating AMBs are regarded as the most competent option to support the turbomachine shafts in all the designed gas-turbine HTRs for their numerous advantages over conventional bearing technology. Two projects, HTR-10GT (HTR-10 Gas Turbine) and HTR-PM (HTR-Pebble-bed Module) initiated by INET, will consider incorporating the AMS technology in their power conversion systems. This paper focuses on the introduction of AMB applied to the power system of HTR, the design characteristics of the AMB system and the introduction of the related series of experiments to demonstrate the system functions and validate the control scheme to be used in the HTR-10GT and HTR-PM project. | |||||

Abstract: High-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic bearings are promising candidates for application in machines with high rotational speed. The interaction between HTS and permanent magnets can be technically exploited to realize bearings with novel properties. In recent years a number of small experimental HTS bearings were manufactured and tested worldwide. Encouraging findings on these bearings gave evidence for several advantages. HTS bearings show self-stabilizing behaviour without any active control. Due to their contactless design they provide wearless suspension with very low friction. They are inherently safe. Because of their oil-free design these bearings can reduce environmental risks and fire hazard. The fire load is minimized. Rapid progress in development of high quality HTS enables and accelerates application of HTS in electrical machines and levitation systems. Single-domain YBCO monoliths fabricated by a top-seeded-melt-growth process at Nexans SuperConductors exhibit self-field critical current densities up to 1.3 x 10 5 A/cm 2 at 77 K. Typical areas of application for passive HTS bearings are rotating machines with high rotational speed like motors and generators, energy storage flywheels and oil-free turbines. | |||||

Abstract: Self–sensing approaches permit active magnetic bearings to dispense with the usual position sensor and, instead, extract rotor position information from the voltage and current histories for the actuator coils. Mirroring the development of back–emf sensing of angular position in brushless DC motors, this technology has been a long time coming (more than 15 years) but has begun to be applied to commercial products. This review paper describes the process by which this emergence has occured and outlines some interesting problems that remain to be solved. | |||||

Abstract: Vibration characteristic of a rotor supported by a PID controlled magnetic bearing is investigated. The differential equation of motion is derived with nonlinearities of the magnetic force for the gap, the current, and the characteristics of a current ampli?er together with the decrement of magnetic force due to surface eddy current caused by rotation of the rotor. The in?uence of the rotational speed on the magnetic force is approximated by a fractional function and the coef?cients are determined by experiments. By this approximation, the resonance curves for a major critical speed by the shooting method have good agreements with the experimental results. | |||||

Abstract: This work describes the performance improvement of a 4 poles 1,1 kW split winding bearingless induction machine based on a neural rotor flux observer. The system control executes simultaneously the vector speed control, the radial positioning control and the stator winding current control. The neural flux observer compensates for parameter variations due to temperature changes or due to the rotor magnetic saturation. A program developed in the ANSI C language executes all the system control. The used DSP resources are the Analog/Digital converters, the PWM outputs and the parallel and RS-232 serial interfaces, which are responsible, respectively, for the DSP programming and the data capture through the supervisory system. Comparisons with a fixed parameter observer validate the proposed method. | |||||

Abstract: Although self-sensing is not a new concept and the topic has been researched in the past, it remains a challenge. Self-sensing performance is degraded due to problems such as magnetic cross-coupling, eddy currents, saturation and high losses, to name but a few. In this paper the amplitude modulation self-sensing approach using the switching amplifier ripple as high frequency source is adopted. A coupled reluctance network model (RNM) is developed which models the coil impedance at the switching frequency. The model is refined, to accurately include the mentioned degrading effects, and incorporated into a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) parameter estimation self-sensing scheme. Simulation results show that it is possible to address saturation and magnetic cross-coupling with the RNM incorporated into a MIMO parameter estimation scheme. System sensitivity levels satisfactory for long term operation are achieved. | |||||

Abstract: A significant impediment to low cost commercial deployment of magnetic bearing systems in many applications is the engineering process of tuning. In applications where the dynamics of the platform contribute significantly to overall system dynamics, AMB tuning in the vendor factory may not be sufficient to provide satisfactory performance once installed. In this case, on-site retuning is done ?by hand? by a skilled engineer and the associated cost can be substantial. In addition, later alterations in the plant, the process, or the internal machine dynamics may dictate retuning of the AMB controller, again requiring costly engineering intervention. In this paper, we examine the general characteristics of the plant that govern the requirements of an automated tuning process. The AMB machine tool spindle will serve as an example to illustrate results and outline the approach to the robust control model validation problem. | |||||

The new modeling method named as Extended Reduced Order Physical Model is presented to express its motion and vibration uniformly.

Abstract: The development of sophisticated advanced vibration isolation is important, since even the minutest vibrations have disastrous effects on the performance of static and moving parts in high-precision machines. This paper concerns with the isolation of these vibrations for a large static body in an advanced micro-lithographic system, where a passive/active electromagnetic solution is presented. In these configurations passive permanent magnets (PM) provide the gravity compensation and active electromagnets the accurate positioning. However, this paper only considers the applicability of a passive magnetic solution for this high force gravity compensation application, or, more specifically, the influence of various PM array topologies on the force density. Further, fast-solving analytical models will be presented and will consequently be used to illustrate the feasibility of using passive permanent magnets for gravity compensation in this demanding high precision industrial application. | |||||

Abstract: Research on magnetic bearings is being conducted in universities and research centers all over the world. Among the main advantages of the use of these devices are the reduction of friction losses and their corresponding necessity for maintenance. Magnetic bearings can already be found in rotating machines in medical, food, oil, and military industries. As to electric machines, the use of such electromagnets provides a natural instability to the system. Therefore, controllers become necessary to hold the rotor in an equilibrium position, without contact with the stator. In this work, modeling, implementation, and practical results of an axial position controller is presented. An axial controller has been designed to be implemented on an experimental prototype that consists of an induction motor, arranged in the horizontal position, already supported by radially controlled magnetic bearings. Different from other approaches, the experimental stiffness and damping observed along the axial direction, when only the radial magnetic bearings are acting, was taken into account for the controller design. | |||||

Abstract: The active magnetic bearing (AMB) possesses several advantages such as no friction, high rotational speed, less energy loss, and long life span etc. In rotation application, however, it must be connected to a motor, which may degrade its performance. Bearingless motor is the combination of the active magnetic bearing and motor. It saves software and hardware facilities, resulting in lower costs. This paper mainly designed a three-pole permanent-magnet type bearingless motor, and analyzed the rotational magnetic field, magnetic force of the bearing, and resulting torque of the motor. Finally, we established system dynamic mathematical model. The controller design and numerical simulations are implemented, and reach the last target. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical and experiment evaluation of sensorless speed vector control of a permanent magnet type axial gap self bearing motor, in which rotor speed and position are estimated by using state observer, not by using mechanical encoder or resolver... The approach is based on the estimation of the motor back-EMF (or induced voltage) through a state observer with help of measured stator currents and reference voltages. In order to achieve an accurate estimation of the rotor speed and position, adaptive gain of observer controller is proposed. The experiment is implemented based on dSpace1104 with two three phase inverters. Results confirm that axial force and rotating torque can be controlled independently and motor can get the good performance in steady state at the average and high speed range. < | |||||

However, only little work has been done to evaluate the ideal number of motor phases. In this pa-per, a performance evaluation between 2-phase and 3-phase bearingless slice motor concepts is undertaken.

Abstract: This paper presents a new axial magnetic bearing for the centrifugal separators, which are used to separate into liquids and solids in chemical, material industries, and so on. In order to separate much original liquid into the liquid and the solid for a short time, the centrifugal separators with large volume and large capability are required. To satisfy the requirements, the large axial magnetic bearing with the maximum axial magnetic force of 7,200 N is proposed. The features are as follows: 1) the magnetic field does not influence on the flow of the original liquid, and 2) the stiffness is relatively high also in the radial direction. The structure of the proposed axial magnetic force is shown and the control system configuration is also introduced. The optimal sizes of the electromagnets and permanent magnets are derived by the analysed results using Finite Element Method (FEM). The radial and axial forces are also computed by FEM for the rotor motion in the parallel and conical modes, respectively. It is confirmed that the enough suspension force is generated to support the rotor suspension part in the proposed axial magnetic bearing, which is quite suitable as the axial magnetic bearing in the vertical-type centrifugal separator. | |||||

Abstract: This paper considers the design of an actively controlled auxiliary bearing system for use with magnetic bearings. During rotor/auxiliary bearing contact large frictional contact forces can lead to significant thermal stresses. Furthermore, the nonlinear nature of the contact can induce unfavourable rotor dynamic behaviour. An active auxiliary bearing capable of reducing the contact forces and influencing the rotor dynamics during contact is proposed. Active auxiliary bearing design objectives include reducing the rotor / bearing contact forces during impact and influencing the rotor dynamics to prevent a trapped contact mode from becoming established. A piezo actuated system, using a closed hydraulic coupling, is presented. The dynamic performance of the actuators and hydraulic line are identified. In particular, the transfer function from actuator control signal to auxiliary bearing displacement is identified. Closed loop control of the active auxiliary bearing using local proportional integral differential control is also considered. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearings systems usually incorporate auxiliary bearings so that rotor/stator contact is prevented. The rotor must then make contact with the auxiliary bearings if any clearance boundaries are exceeded. It is then possible for a rotor with a given unbalance condition to exhibit either contact free levitation or to become trapped in various contact modes. For passively mounted auxiliary bearings, the contact modes are determined by the system design parameters. However, it is now feasible to mount the auxiliary bearings in an active system using piezoelectric actuators. If closed loop control is applied, the mounting (e.g. stiffness/damping) characteristics may be varied on-line. The potential also exists to apply open-loop actuation to the auxiliary bearing to make the clearance domain variable. For example, appropriate synchronous translation of a circular auxiliary bearing may cause it to appear as having a different radius or to be elliptical to the rotor. The question that needs to be addressed is whether this is useful in the destabilisation of contact modes so that contact free levitation may be restored.

Abstract: The work focuses on the design of the auxiliary bearings for the primary magnetic system in a new fluid film bearing test rig. The design is unique since the rotor is supported by the central tested journal bearing along with the two magnetic bearings. A three mass model for the rig is used to conduct the transient analysis of the rotor drop. Hertz contact theory is used to describe the contact between the rotor and the inner race of the back-up bearings. The analysis included different sets of auxiliary bearings as well as different levels of damping. | |||||

2008 | Zhu, C. | A Novel Controllable Back-up Bearing for Active Magnetic Bearings | Proceedings of ISMB11 | ||
Abstract: All high performances of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) greatly depend on the reliability of the AMBs in normal and emergency conditions. Since the loading capability of the AMBs is limited and the rotating rotor will drop to the stator when the current of the coils is suddenly cut off or some parts of the AMBs, such as sensor, control system, power amplifiers, fail. In order to improve the reliability of the AMBs, a parallel back-up support system, as part of the AMBs design, should be used. Therefore, the back-up bearing is one of key elements to use successfully the AMBs in the rotating machinery and to improve the reliability of the AMBs. In order to develop a good performance back-up bearing for the AMBs, a novel controllable back-up bearing consisted of a general back-up bearing and a controllable flexible support which is based on eddy-current principle is presented in this paper. After shown the basic structure and principle of the novel controllable back-up bearing, the dynamic behaviors of the controllable back-up bearing with a fixed clearance ball bearing to improve the dropping dynamics after the AMBs failure are experimentally investigated, and the effectiveness of the novel controllable back-up bearing in controlling the transient vibration during rotor dropping is validated. It is shown that the dynamic behaviors of the novel controllable back-up bearing can be controlled and the novel controllable back-up bearing can greatly suppress the transient vibration during rotor dropping. | |||||

Abstract: In recent semiconductor making processes, high-class clean operations of delivery robots without contacts are required more and more. Magnetic levitation system can be applied to semiconductor fabrication applications, for example, which includes clamp-type robot, linear motors for propulsion, contact-less power supply for power sourcing and magnetic levitations for contact-less bearings. In this paper, electromagnetic suspension vehicle model and its decoupled control method is presented. The symmetry of the geometric configuration and space coordinates transformation techniques are used to eliminate the redundancy of electromagnetic force control. Then, each of the three motion states becomes a single-input and single-output (SISO) linear sub-system and a linear proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller was designed for each sub-system and tested for the constructed electromagnetic suspension (EMS) vehicle simulator. | |||||

Abstract: This paper discusses an indirect suspension of magnetic target through an actively controlled permanent magnet. This proposed system consists of an electromagnet, a permanent magnet and a target mainly. The dynamics of levitated bodies are restricted in one dimension, and the target issufficiently away from the electromagnet. The target is suspended by a proportional - derivative control with respect to the position and the velocity of the permanent magnet. The aim is to model the dynamics of levitated bodies by magnetic charges. The behav-iors of levitated bodies near the reference positions are studied numerically and experimentally. As a result, it is shown that the behaviors of levitated bodies near the reference positions can be described by the proposed model. | |||||

Abstract: Vibrations mostly caused by mass-unbalance reduce the reliability, the operational safety and the life cycle of high speed rotors. This leads to costly outages and un-scheduled maintenances. Commonly used offline bal-ancing processes are very expensive for the machine user. To reduce these costs and to realize an uninter-rupted control of the balancing states during operation, a complete automatic balancing strategy is proposed. It is based on the combination of the active magnetic bear-ings, the active balancing devices, and the drive motor and is applied to a flexible low pressure shaft of a heli-copter engine test rig. Experimental results validate the efficiency of the proposed strategy. | |||||

Abstract: This paper is concerned with modeling and active vibration control of a 1.23-m long ?exible shaft on active magnetic bearings that is designed to model a small industrial compressor and to serve as a platform for investigating emerging control schemes. Aerodynamic cross-coupled stiffness is one of the main contributors to rotordynamic instability in modern turbo-machines. The destabilizing effects of the cross-coupled stiffness are demonstrated. H2 and H8 synthesis approaches are used to design controllers that may stabilize the rotor-bearing system over a wide range of cross-coupled stiffness. Stability analysis and dynamic simulations of the resulting closed-loop systems are performed and recommendations made on the best means of achieving the desired performance and stability of the rotor-bearing system. The control and data-acquisition are in the process of being implemented in real-time using a DSP system. | |||||

Abstract: An AMB-based gyroscopic sensor is studied in this paper. The sensor has been proposed to realize high-accuracy, compact and low-cost sensors.

Two-axis angular velocities are estimated from the control currents canceling gyroscopic torque acting on the AMB rotor. The sensor has detected angular velocity precisely. However, the measured angular velocities include oscillating components due to rotor unbalance. This paper presents an elimination method of the components due to the unbalance. | |||||

Abstract: An active magnetic bearing (AMB) to support the shaft of a tubular linear induction motor (TLIM) applied to oil pumping is proposed. Instead of the usual eight-pole AMB, a different concept is adopted where a DC-excited primitive bearingless machine is used as a magnetic bearing. The AMB is a 3-phase one for which a lower number of wires connections and power devices are among its advantages. This paper focuses on the design of the AMB system. A finite element analysis of the flux density and of the relationship between the radial force and the suspension winding current are explored. The magnetic system is modeled and simulation is performed to tune the controller parameters. | |||||

Abstract: When we design a controller for the active magnetic bearings that support a large rotor, it is important to have an accurate model of the rotor. For the case of the flywheel that is used to store energy, an accurate rotor model is especially important because the dynamics change with respect to the running speed due to gyroscopic effects. In this paper, we present a procedure of obtaining an accurate rotor model of a large flywheel energy storage system using finite-element method. The system is designed to store 5kWh at maximum speed of 18,000 rpm. The model can predict the first and the second bending mode which match well with the experimental results obtained from a prototype flywheel energy storage system. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes the design of two active magnetic bearing spindle systems. A miniature active magnetic bearing spindle, with two radial bearings, one axial bearing and a permanent magnet synchronous motor has been built. The spindle is controlled by five, decentralized PID controllers. The closed loop bandwidth of the system is 380 Hz. The static positioning error was measured to be below 45 nm (1sigma). This spindle has been tested with rotational speeds up to 120.000 rpm. To reach higher rotational speeds a second miniature active magnetic bearing spindle has been designed. The rotor dimensions are smaller than in the first generation in both length and diameter. The basic design concept is a small disk shaped rotor, which eliminates the passing of one rigid mode and several flexible body modes during startup. The gyroscopic coupling in a disk shaped rotor is larger when a relatively short rotor is applied. In this research, the aim is to use resistance of a gyroscope against tilting to an advantage. | |||||

Abstract: Hybrid magnetic bearing is recognized as an e?cient one even with wide airgap and suitable for low loss and wide gap application. Previously sub-pole type IPM hybrid magnetic bearing has been proposed. However the sub-pole produces bias ?ux and cannot produce any control force. To overcome this problem, two new types of hybrid magnetic bearings are proposed which have permanent magnets within their stator cores. This paper introduces structure and principle of the proposed magnetic bearings. The geometric parameters of these new type magnetic bearings are optimized using FEM analysis. The experimental setups are made based on these analytical results. The fundamental characteristics are measured and compared with the estimated bearing performances. The results show stable levitation and good levitated rotation. | |||||

Abstract: This paper reports on a compact, 5-degrees-of-freedom (5-DOF) controlled maglev local actuator (MLA) for realizing high speed electrical discharge machining (EDM), comprising a magnetic coupling mechanism (MCM) to feed a discharge current to an electrode attached to a spindle, and to transmit a torque from a motor to the spindle. The spindle is supported by a 5-DOF controlled magnetic bearing and is rotated by following the rotation of a power supply ring, utilizing the magnetic coupling. Flexible wires between the power supply ring and the spindle feed the discharge current to the electrode, without transmitting disturbing forces, so that the spindle is free from the direct contact with brushes, used to feed the discharge current. Experimental positioning results show a prototype MLA possesses a positioning resolution of a few microns and several ten micro-radians, bandwidths greater than 100 Hz in the 5-DOF directions, and a positioning stroke of 2mm in the thrust direction. Moreover, the discharge current can be fed to the electrode attached to the spindle, rotating at 2,000min. | |||||

Abstract: Within this work a new active magnetic bearing (AMB)-system offering supreme reliability is presented. It provides bearing capacity even in case of a defect within any sub-assembly over the whole operating time. Each AMB consists of completely decoupled electro-magnet (EM)-channels configured in hot redundancy, comprising a singular EM, controlled and driven by a decentralized hot-swap controller amplifier module (HCA) and one displacement sensor. Each HCA is responsible for controlling the position of the structure towards its dedicated EM and comprises a digital controller, a switching amplifier, local power supplies, and a local error detection unit. All functional EM-channels contribute to support the structure. On occurrence of an error within a certain EM-channel this error is detected by the local error detection unit and the defective EM-channel auto-matically shuts down. The adjacent redundant EM-channels take over the bearing functionality and the defective sub-assembly can be replaced during system operation (hot-swap) without degrading system performance. This paper gives detailed information on the AMB functionality and the HCA design. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings offer the capability to control rotor vibration and transmitted forces through the design of adaptive controllers. These controllers can take into account the changing operating conditions and variations in the system dynamics. A Recursive Open-Loop Adaptive Control (ROLAC) algorithm was developed, which minimizes the sum of squares of the measurements in frequency domain. ROLAC is used in addition to local PID controllers, which ensure the stability. Magnetic bearing dynamics depend on the eccentricity of the rotor with respect to magnetic poles. Non-concentric rotation of the rotor within the magnetic bearings causes changes in the bearing dynamic properties. Apart from system faults, non-concentric operation of the rotor can occur due to misalignment of the auxiliary bearings with respect to magnetic poles, changes in sensor calibration, and misalignment of bearings in systems where there are three or more bearings. This misalignment leads to changes in the magnetic bearing characteristics thereby affecting the overall system dynamics. This in turn may necessitate re-tuning of the ROLAC. The paper studies the effect of such misalignments on the controller performance and the robustness of the auto-tuning process. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper we deal with a design of integral sliding mode controller to reject the disturbance force acting on the suspension system in a magnetically levitated system which is propelled by the linear induction motor. The control scheme consists of an integral compensator which is designed to achieve zero steady-state error under step disturbances, and a sliding mode controller which is designed for enhancing robustness under plant uncertainties. A proper continuous design signal is introduced to overcome the chattering problem. The disturbance force produced by the linear induction motor is formularized by using a curve fitting method. Computer simulations show the effectiveness of the designed integral sliding mode controller to reject the disturbance force in comparison with a simple sliding mode controller that does not include the integral compensator. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, an innovated radial-axial hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB) is proposed, which is driven by a 2-phase AC power inverter in radial directions and a DC amplifier in axial direction respectively. The axial and radial biased magnetic fluxes of this magnetic bearing are provided by a common radial polarized permanent magnet ring, and the axial and radial control magnetic fluxes are provided by the inner and outer two-layer coils, respectively. The configuration and the principle producing magnetic suspension forces of the radial-axial HMB are introduced. The flux path is calculated by using the method of equivalent magnetic circuit, the mathematics models of the axial and radial magnetic suspension forces are deduced. The experiment prototype of the innovated bearing is designed and the practical prototype’s parameters are given. The feasibility and the correctness of the theoretical methods for the configuration, magnetic path and maximum loads capacity of the radial-axial HMB are verified by using a 3D-FEM software (Maxwell 3D of ANSOFT). The theoretical approach and finite element simulated experiment have shown that the mechanical structure and magnetic circuit of this magnetic bearing are legitimacy. The radial control flux and the axial control flux are independent, the magnetic paths between radial direction and axial direction have no coupling. This radial-axial HMB can be applied in high speed machine tool spindle with lower manufacturing and operation costs. | |||||

Abstract: Diamagnetic levitation is the only passive levitation technique working at room temperature. Using planar arrangements of permanent magnets, it is indeed possible to levitate diamagnetic materials at room temperature. Such a principle is particularly interesting to use for the design of mechatronic systems, especially in applications where friction between mechanical parts should be avoided such as, for instance, high precision inertial sensors or actuators for clean-room applications. In this article the authors show with some examples extracted from their research on the subject, that diamagnetic levitation is a promising technique that can be of great interest for the design of small scale mechatronic systems. | |||||

Abstract: A bearingless motor has two kinds of coupling windings, driving windings and bearing windings. The decoupling control for two sets of winding currents is difficult problem and key technology to stable operation of bearingless motors. A simple, reliable and accurate analyzing method for bearingless motors is put forward using the concept of flux equivalent air-gap virtual winding currents. Adopting this method, the operation condition PB=PM±1 for bearingless motor is quoted, and the necessary satisfied condition of generating a stable radial force in single direction on whole rotor’s circumference is derived. On this basis, the control strategy of realizing bearingless motor’s suspension operation is brought forward, and a prototype of bearingless surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor is built and tested. The experiment results have shown that theory analysis of this strategy is accurate, a stable and reliable radial suspension force is obtained, and the validity and feasibility of this strategy is confirmed. | |||||

Abstract: Bearingless motors combine contactless levitation and rotation in a preferably compact system design, because the bearing as well as motor windings are located on the same lamination stack. By the use of a proper control scheme and the superposition of different current components, bearing forces and motor torque can be generated simultaneously by applying concentrated windings. This leads to a further simplification of the mechanical configuration. The bearingless segment motor features such concentrated coils on separated stator elements, which reduce the stator iron and therefore weight and cost, especially for constructions with large diameters. However, most of the bearingless motors are de-signed with surface mounted permanent magnets on the rotor, neglecting the advantages of buried permanent magnets. In this paper a bearingless segment motor with buried permanent magnets is investigated. The mathematical model is presented, a proper control scheme is introduced and the optimization of the prototype motor is outlined. Some motor specific considerations concerning the angular sensors and the rotordynamic are also given. Finally, the performance of the bearingless segment motor with buried permanent magnets is shown by the comparison of simulation results with measurement data of the manufactured prototype. | |||||

Abstract: A wide magnetic gap consequent-pole type bearingless motor has been developed. The wide magnetic gap makes it difficult to start up and suspend a shaft with reasonable suspension voltage and current. To provide high current, high voltage rating is demanded, although, high voltage causes bad influence on magnetic suspension. In this paper, the authors investigate the start-up and rotational characteristics of a prototype bearingless machine driven by voltage source inverters having the rated voltage of 200V and 100V. When the rated voltage is not suitable, significant problems are occurred. The effectiveness of proper selection in the rated voltage is discussed. | |||||

Abstract: When a vibration suppression adaptive algorithm is implemented to enhance an AMB based system, a good frequency measurement or estimation of the synchronous rotation is essential [1]. In this paper, two frequency disturbance rejection methods applied to the frequency sensor measurement are compared. The ?rst method is based on the use of a Kalman Filter (KF) and the second is the implementation of a Frequency Locked Loop (FLL). Both have advantages and disadvantages related to the available hardware, noise type of the sensor, the fact of vibration minimization and the computational cost of the adaptive algorithm. Finally, experimental proofs in a laboratory testbed, based on the MBC500 Rotor Dynamics, show the effectiveness of each method. | |||||

Abstract: In a steel process line, shape controllers of steel strip using electromagnets are important devices for improving strip quality and line speed. It is confirmed that the devices are beneficial when these are applied to Continuous Galvanizing Line (CGL). However, it is necessary to avoid a static instability phenomenon by negative spring of the electromagnet, and a spill-over phenomenon by the high gain of the control system in this device. We proposed an analysis model combining the control system with the steel strip. The model was applied to a real machine to confirm the availabilities. Moreover, this paper discusses the static instability phenomenon and the spill-over phenomenon. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes numerical analysis of interaction between rotor and auxiliary bearing due to high transient overloads. When the fast spinning rotor interacts with the auxiliary bearing that does not move, some critical states of motion are possible. One of these motions, backward whirl, reaches very high frequencies and thus can produce very high loads on rotor and bearings, which can lead to the destruction of the machine. The detailed model of the AMB supported rotor auxiliary bearing system considers discontinuous stiffness caused by bearing clearance effects, auxiliary bearing fixed or flexible mount types, nonlinear Hertzian contact stiffness and Coulomb friction forces. Numerical investigations as time history, orbit diagram, bifurcation diagram, Poincaré section diagram are proposed to study the system parameters which extremely influence the whole dynamic response. One of the important parameters, rotor driving frequency, can be modelled as time variable parameter in the detailed system model. Moreover, parameters used in the detailed model discussed in this paper obtained from experimental test rig. | |||||

However, for the frequency limit of switch element, the hysteresis band can’t be too small. In this paper, a novel double band hysteresis current control strategy is proposed, where an additional hysteresis band is brought in the conventional hysteresis band current control strategy. The proposed method can realize tri-state modulation, and reduce the switching frequency at the same hysteresis band.

The unbalance force rejection control is considered in two variants. In the first one, the unbalance forces are canceled and the system can maintain an accurate reference rotor position. This variant results in low measured vibration amplitudes. In the second one, the magnetic force vibrations are canceled and the rotor spins about its principal axis of inertia within the bearing clearance. The control currents and energy usage are minimal, and the vibrations are slightly decreased. Both cases are designed as a periodic disturbance observer. Simulations for the variable speed and an experimental evaluation at the constant speed are presented. | |||||

Abstract: Different adaptive control algorithms have been developed for attenuating vibrations on AMB systems. The main aim of this work is to introduce the use of multirate and nonuniform sampling methods reducing the mean sampling rate, with the objective of minimizing the execution time of such algorithms. In particular, the proposed one is a feedforward adaptive vibration controller which generates sinusoidal signals whose amplitudes and phases are updated by the adaptation algorithm. This update is at different sampling times in the multirate version and at randomized sampling times, for the nonuniform sampling version. Such signals are applied to an AMB system obtaining, as expected, a minimization of the vibrations. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the adaptive control approach, allowing an important increment in the mean sampling period and leading to a reduced calculation time.

Abstract: A novel force feedback controller is presented to overcome disturbing forces acting on magnetic suspended rotors of Active or Hybrid Magnetic Bearings (AMB or HMB). As there is linear relationship between disturbing forces and changes of magnetic field on bearings’ operating point, the force feedback is implemented by measuring bearings’ magnetic flux density by hall components. Detailed analysis is discussed also, the dynamic stiffness and damping of the controlled plant are increased when force feedback added into the controller; meanwhile, dynamic response of power amplifier is improved as the novel controller provides a zero point that counteract with the pole point of the power amplifier. A novel controller is developed based on conventional PID leading correcting network. Both simulation and experiment indicate that this novel controller can effectively decrease the influence of disturbing forces, and thus improves the controller’s performance. | |||||

The radial control force and the negative stiffness due to the permanent magnets are measured statically. The dynamic performance was tested by measuring the impulse response and the frequency response and the maximum oscillation amplitude of the suspended rotor during rotation.

Abstract: Magnetic bearings have advantages such as no friction loss, no abrasion, and lubrication-free operation. However they are not widely used due to their high cost and large size. In order to solve these problems, a self-bearing motor having a simple structure with distributed windings is proposed. The rotor consists of a permanent magnet and an iron yoke, which rotate in a body. The stator consists of a six-phase distributed winding and is installed between a permanent magnet and a back yoke of the rotor. A Lorentz force is generated by the stator current, and the rotation speed and radial position of the rotor are controlled by this force. In this study, the rotating torque and bearing force are analyzed theoretically, and a method for their control is discussed. A simple experiment confirms that the proposed self-bearing motor can be realized. | |||||

Abstract: Radial force and torque are the control objectives which determine the machine performance of levitation and rotation in a bearingless switched reluctance motor (BSRM). This paper proposes a control scheme for rotating and levitating a 12/8 BSRM. The motor torque and radial force are independently controlled with hybrid excitations in main windings and levitation windings. Firstly, the mathematical relationship between radial force and currents, which is utilized in this work, is derived with Maxwell stress tensor method. Then the proposed control scheme is analyzed. The average torque of each phase generated in levitation region equals to zero for its symmetry of the aligned position. Accordingly, the current calculating algorithm is deduced to minimize the magnitude of instantaneous torque in levitation region. The principle and realization of the proposed scheme are demonstrated with FE analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is effective for a stable levitation. | |||||

Abstract: This paper describes a permanent magnetic suspension system that consists mainly of a permanent magnet, an actuator and sensors. This magnetic suspension system is based on a zero power control method, which results in almost no power consumption in the equilibrium state. Aspring is installed in the magnetic suspension device to counterbalance the force of the actuator on the mass gravitation in the equilibrium position. An integral feedback loop is used in the controller to achieve zero actuator current when the device is in a balance state. A model was set up for feasibility analysis, a prototype was manufactured for experimental confirmation, numerical simulations for the zero power control were carried out based on the model, and experiments were completed for practice confirmation using the prototype. Some results of simulations and experiments are shown and analyzed here, and conclusions based on these results are given. | |||||

Abstract: The control of contactless magnetically levitated planar actuators with stationary coils, moving magnets and 6-DOF is very complicated. In contradiction to normal synchronous AC machines the forces and torques cannot be decoupled using a sinusoidal commutation scheme. Instead, a feedback linearization law has to be applied as commutation scheme that decouples the forces and torques and calculates the required currents to realize the desired forces and torques of the magnetic suspension. This feedback linearization law is based on the coupling matrix that links the current in each coil to the force and torque vector on the actuator. The accurate calculation of this coupling matrix in real-time is critical for controlling the planar actuator. In this paper a look-up table based method is used to apply feedback linearization and the performance of the algorithm is verified with measurements. | |||||

The expected range of phase shifts occurring in various measurable signals are examined from a theoretical standpoint, with the aim of developing model-free control algorithms that can recover contact-free rotor levitation from a state involving persistent rub with touchdown bearings. Two different strategies are proposed, according to whether touchdowns planes can be considered collocated with the AMBs or not. Requirements for successful operation, in terms of available sub-models and measurement information, as well as possible deficiencies are explained and verified through experimental tests on a multi-mode flexible rotor test rig. | |||||

Abstract: The Helium circulator is one of the key equipment of the high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR), which directs helium to flow through the reactor core and the steam generator to achieve the thermal energy transfer between them. At present, there are two optional schemes in the design of the helium circulator. One is the dry gas seal, another is the active magnetic bearing (AMB), but both of them haven’t been used in the reactors beforetime. After the 10 MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor-Test Module (HTR-10) was brought to criticality in December of 2000, Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technologies (INET) of Tsinghua University dedicated to upgrade the technology of the helium circulator. It takes 3 years to manufacture a helium circulator with the active magnetic bearings in Shanghai Blower Factory, which has the same rated parameters as the one of HTR-10. It stood all the tests in November of 2007, including the 100 hour test at the conditions of high temperature(250°C) and high speed (5000r/min). All of these means INET made a great progress in the area of the active magnetic bearing technology. This circulator will be installed to HTR-10 to endure the further tests at the reactor conditions such as high temperature, radiation, graphite dust and the inert helium atmosphere. In the foundation of these successful tests, the design of the larger scale and higher power level helium circulator with AMBs for the HTR-PM project will enter the official implementation stage. This paper covers the philosophy behind the design and descriptions of the HTR-10 helium circulator and the preliminary tests. Significantly useful information is also derived from temperature distribution in the AMBs. | |||||

Abstract: In magnetic bearing applications with rather limited axial loads and/or relaxed requirements for the axial positioning accuracy of the rotor it can be attractive to achieve the axial suspension using passive reluctance centering. In this case, however, it might be difficult to obtain the damping necessary to limit transient response to unexpected dynamic loads. A concept of an active electromagnetic axial damper developed for a 1MW 15,000RPM motor on magnetic bearings with passive axial reluctance centering is presented. The damper features a PM-biased actuator with a flux feedback. Using the flux feedback allows reducing the negative axial stiffness of the actuator to a level sufficient for using it in combination with a passive axial bearing exhibiting rather low positive axial stiffness 2400 lbf/in (420kN/m). The other advantages of the flux feedback include more linear relationship between the output force and the control command than in conventional current control as well as significant reduction of the gain and phase roll offs caused by the eddy currents. The design delivers 8760 Ns/m damping coefficient, which represents 20% of the critical damping, and 670N load capacity sufficient to address the worst-case-scenario dynamic response. | |||||

The interface board assembles all the hardware modules needed to access external devices such as digital I/O, ADCs and DACs, encoder modules and so on. Moreover the most prominent features of the hardware devices and the reasons that have motivated the new design are described. Since control strategy imposes computation requirements, a brief description of control algorithms is included.

They are useful for hydrogen pumps for rocket engines and hydrogen station of the fuel cars. Our self-sensing magnetic bearing gets the rotor position information from the middle point voltage. The control of levitation was performed by using this voltage. In this study, we propose a new type of self-sensing magnetic bearing technique and study the characteristics.

The new modeling method named as Extended Reduced Order Physical Model is presented to express its motion and vibration uniformly. By using this model, a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller to levitate the rotor and a LQ (Linear-Quadratic) controller to suppress its vibration are designed. | |||||

Abstract: A new hybrid magnetic bearing and motor system for magnetically suspended clean pumps with wide air gaps has been developed. The permanent magnet geometry is examined by three dimensional magnetic field analysis with the finite element method. The optimization method to determine the optimal values of the design parameters has been developed based on magnetic equivalent circuit technique, genetic algorithm (GA) and three dimensional magnetic field analysis. The size of the hybrid magnetic bearing C core, the thickness of the permanent magnets, and the turn number of the electromagnets are optimized by the method. The designed HM bearing and motor system has an outer diameter of 100 mm, a length of 140 mm, and air gaps of 3.5 mm. The optimized system produces a target attractive force of 20 N with an excitation current of 0.5 A and the ratio of force to excitation current is 40 N/A. The devised hybrid magnetic bearing indicates sufficient bearing performance for the target clean pump and the developed optimization method displayed sufficient ability to design the hybrid magnetic bearing. | |||||

Abstract: The need for motion sensing system is constantly growing for civil and mass applications, which require products that ally precision, low cost and compactness. The active magnetic bearing (AMB) technology because of its absence of friction between the rotor and the stator could be an interesting solution to reach the two first requirements. The miniaturization of the AMB system permits to satisfy the last one. Among other sensing devices, gyroscopes can benefit from the high spinning speeds of the rotor that AMB permit. These high speeds guarantee the high precision of the instrument. However, these high speeds have the inconvenience of destabilizing the rotor. Therefore, a good control of the rotor position is a key issue towards a precise gyroscope. On that purpose, this paper presents a two degrees of freedom Hinf controller based on the GS/T weighting scheme strategy and including an explicit integrative part. The simulations run with that controller show a great improvement in the quality of the angular velocity measurements compared to a classical two degrees of freedom Hinf controller as will be shown in this paper. | |||||

Abstract: A model of magnetic reluctance is considered in the frequency domain for cylindrical solid iron-cores when magnetic flux normally enters and leaves on the circumferential surface. To have an analytical model, we take a iron core that is sufficiently high to spread the magnetic flux over the circumferential surface and not out over the upper and lower ends. First, a three-dimensional distribution of the magnetic field is solved with Laplace transform. Then, the magnetomotive force between the two pole faces is obtained by a mean value along flux paths on the surface to describe the magnetic reluctance. The model given by Bessel functions is approximated in a simple form. The numerical result is compared with an experimental result to check the applicability of the model to actual cores. | |||||

2008 | Park, Y.H., Park, I.H., Jang, H.D. and Han, D.C. | A Novel Self-Sensing Technology of Active Magnetic Bearings Using a High Frequency Voltage Injection Method | Proceedings of ISMB11 | ||
Abstract: Conventional AMBs (active magnetic bearings) systems consist of electromagnetic coils, position sensors, power amplifiers and a feedback controller. This hardware configuration can lead to a structural complexity, problems of space limitations for the installation. In this paper, a self-sensing mechanism is proposed to resolve such limitations of the general AMB system. The proposed self-sensing scheme uses a phase difference of the injected current of two opposite electromagnetic actuators while an object levitating between the actuators. The relationship between the phase difference of injected currents and the position of a levitated object was theoretically derived and linearized. In order to realize the proposed self-sensing scheme, a signal processing algorithm was developed. The frequency response of the estimator was measured to verify the performance of the proposed self-sensing scheme. In addition, a magnetic levitation and a disturbance rejection response were experimentally obtained to verify the feasibility of the proposed self-sensing mechanism. Experimental results showed that the developed self-sensing technique has similar performance as a practical gap sensor. | |||||

Abstract: The stabilitymargin of a two degree-of-freedomself-sensing AMB is estimated bymeans of µ-analysis. The specific self-sensing algorithm implemented in this study is the direct current measurement (DCM) method. Detailed black-box models are developed for the main subsystems in the AMB by means of discrete-time system identification. Suitable excitation signals are generated for system identification in cognisance of frequency induced nonlinear behaviour of the AMB. Novel graphs that characterize an AMB’s behaviour for input signals of different amplitudes and frequency content are quite useful in this regard. In order to obtain models for dynamic uncertainty in the various subsystems (namely the power amplifier, self-sensing module and AMB plant), the identified models are combined to form a closed-loop LTI model for the self-sensing AMB. The response of this closed-loop model is compared to the original AMB’s response and models for the dynamic uncertainty are empirically deduced. Finally, the system’s stability margin for the modelled uncertainty is estimated by means of µ-analysis. The resultant µ-analyses show that self-sensing AMBs are rather sensitive for variations in the controller and the self-sensing module. | |||||

Abstract: Accurately calculating and modeling of the flux linkage characteristics is a critical step in design and analysis of optimal control strategies for Bearingless Switched Reluctance Motor (BSRM). But due to the highly nonlinear characteristics of BSRM, it is very difficult to derive a comprehensive mathematical model to satisfy the overall characteristics of the machine. To overcome this problem, in this paper, an edge finite element method (EFE) based 3-D FEM and a new enhanced incremental energy method were utilized for calculating the flux linkage characteristics; using the calculated flux data, an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based flux model was developed. Simulation results are presented and compared with the analytical nonlinear modeling method, which verified that the proposed model can modeling the BSRM more accurately and adaptively. | |||||

2010 | Huang, C., Zhou, J. and Guo, Q. | The Dynamic Characteristic of Rotor-Active Magnetic Bearings System on Flexible Base subjected to Base Vibration | Proceedings of ISMB12 | ||
Abstract: Magnetic bearings are the core and key technology of a multi-electric engine. The aero engine will have no lubrication system, less weight, high reliability and efficiency, and low maintenance costs if magnetic bearings be used instead of rolling bearings. Many papers had been published research results on rotor-AMB system on ground based support, which can not better describe the real condition of aero engine. This paper models the rotor-active magnetic bearing (AMB) system hanging from a cantilever beam to simulate the effect of flexible wing on the rotor dynamic characteristics. Besides, in order to observe the effect of wing vibration on the engine rotor, the beam’s free end receives excitation and the frequency response of rotor is analyzed. From simulation analysis result, it can be found that change of hanging position results in change of the base spatial modal properties (Mand K). Consequently, the modal frequency of some rotor shapes changes irregularly. Under the same excitation conditions, imposed on the flexible base (as opposed to a rigid foundation), the rotor frequency response slightly decreased except in the beam type modal frequencies. | |||||

The design of the proposed five axes active magnetic bearing system allows low manufacturing and assembly costs. Based on a simple modification, a radial bearing of heteropolar or homopolar type can produce radial as well as axial forces. Radial and axial forces are generated by the same set of permanent magnets and coils. This simplifies power electronics design considerably.

Abstract: In this paper an industrially recognized modal control approach, a linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control, and an H8 control designs are compared using automated weights tuning based on a genetic algorithm. The robust stability analysis is carried out based on the uncertainty set, which comprises parametric and nonparametric uncertainties. The uncertainty set is updated to be compliant with the measured frequency responses of the test rig. The studied combination of the uncertainties proves too conservative for the direct application in the H8 control synthesis. However, a robust stability of the controllers synthesized using the nominal plant can be verified using µ-analysis and the very uncertainty set that cannot be used for the controller design directly. It is demonstrated that for the rigid rotor without strong gyroscopic coupling all of the control approaches result in a similar performance. For the more slender rotor with an additional disc and the dynamics dependent on the rotational speed the best results are achieved by the LQG and H8 controllers. When no gain scheduling is applied, the modal control results in the unstable system. | |||||

First, structure and working principle of the hybrid magnetic bearing and the AGBM are analyzed. The radial force equations of the hybrid magnetic bearing, and the electromagnetic torque equation as well as the axial force equation of the AGBM are then given. Finally,control structure is derived to confirm that the complete non-contact levitation can be realized by the simple construction and control system. To demonstrate the proposed technique, a salient 2-pole AGBM has been constructed and tested. The experimental results confirm that the AGBM drive performs well when its rotor is completely levitated. | |||||

Abstract: In switching power amplifiers used in active magnetic bearings, three-level modulation technique is commonly used to reduce the current ripple of switching power amplifiers, so as to improve the performance of active magnetic bearing system. In our research, it is found that when a modified three-level PWM modulation technique was used in the switching power amplifiers, the output current waveform of the three-level PWM power amplifier was inconsistent with the theoretical waveform sometimes. At the same switching frequency, the current ripple of the modified three-level PWM power amplifier was much bigger than the theoretical value. The failure phenomenon is introduced and the failure mechanism of the modified three-level PWM power amplifier is theoretically analyzed for different carrier waves based on the analysis of the modified three-level PWM modulation technology in this paper. It is found that the deviation of bias voltage setting in the modified three-level PWM circuit results in its failure, and the failure mechanism is different for different carrier waves. Simulation and experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analyses. Finally, some suggestions about avoiding the failure of the modified three-level PWM power amplifier are proposed. | |||||

Abstract: The position sensing system is one of the most important parts in maglev artificial heart pump. This paper describes a newly developed axial position sensor system. The position sensing system is designed to be combined with the radial permanentmagnetic bearing and used for the control of the axial active magnetic bearing. The rotor ring of the radial magnetic bearing is used as field source, which shortens the rotor and saves space for maglev blood pump design. Linear hall sensor is selected due to its low cost and miniature size. The principle of the position sensing system is based on the analysis of the magnetic field of the permanent magnetic bearing and the sensor module is designed via finite-element analysis to optimize sensitivity and accuracy of the measured signals. An applied primary amplifier circuit for the position sensing is designed and its performance is tested. The experimental results demonstrate that the position sensing system has a satisfactory performance and is effective for axial control. | |||||

Abstract: In the field of rotary blood pumps, contactless support of an impeller by a magnetic bearing has been identified as a promising method to reduce blood damage and enhance the durability. We have developed a two-degrees-of-freedom controlled magnetic bearing system without any permanent magnet in the impeller, so that a single-use pump head of an extracorporeal centrifugal blood pump could be manufactured more easily at a low cost. A prototype blood pump with the magnetic bearing realized stable levitation and contactless rotation of the impeller. The run-out of the impeller position from 1,000 rpm to 3,000 rpm was less than 70 µm (3?) in the radial controlled directions. The total power consumption of the magnetic bearing was less than 1 W at the same rotational speeds. The pump could yield a flow rate of 5 L/min against a head pressure of 590 mmHg (78.7 kPa) at the speed of 4,000 rpm, which provided sufficient performance for an extracorporeal circulation support. | |||||

Abstract: Vibration isolation technology has been widely used to reduce the vibration transmission from the machinery to the foundation in many different engineering systems. Magnetic suspension vibration isolation technology is an excellent active isolation technology, which has some useful characteristics, such as non-contact, high response frequency, high reliability and long life-span. Hence, the magnetic suspension isolator is designed. The electromagnetic force of the magnetic suspension active isolator is measured in advance by experiment. Multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) vibration isolation system supported by magnetic suspension isolators and springs is established. The dynamical and state equations of the system are formulated. A control algorithm and the value function of active vibration isolation based on force transmissibility are proposed. The control model based on the control algorithm is established. Output force responses of the active vibration isolation system and passive one under same excitation are simulated. The simulation results indicate the active system possessed much better effect on vibration isolation. Comparing with passive system, the force transmissibility is reduced by 2dB-3dB in low-frequency stage, especially around resonance frequency, the transmissibility is reduced by 10dB-18dB. In order to test the reliability of the active system and control algorithm, an experimental platform is carried out. Experiment results show that the force transmissibility is reduced by 10dB-15dB around resonance frequency. The research indicates that experimental results are found to be in good agreement with simulated results. | |||||

Abstract: Adopt device power amplifier OPA544 to amplify the output load current in order to achieve the system's current increase. According to the completed mechanical analysis and the design of this specific active magnetic system, the controlling model was designed and a PID controlling strategy was selected to achieve a system simulation utilizing the whole module’s parameters. To control the suspension, a PID controlling circuit was designed to attain the full current necessary for maintaining lift. The use of two electronic OPA544 chips allows for push-pull power amplifier control, achieving the establishment of active magnetic plate dynamic equilibrium, as well as better system stability. Experimental data from the study supported the simulation. The system designed represents a practical model based on experimental data. These methods could be used as a reference for power amplifier component selection among similar systems. | |||||

Abstract: A prototype of permanent maglev turbine machine was developed. The device has a rotor and a stator, both have two PM rings with a diagonal surface (bevel plane). All rings were magnetized axially and the rotor rings have opposite magnetized direction compared with the stator rings. Their diagonal surfaces are face to face and reject each other, producing a rejection force perpendicular to the diagonal surfaces. The rotor is suspended in such way radially and axially by these two PM bearings. First experiment demonstrated that the rotor maximal eccentric distance, measured by 4 Hall sensors, would be smaller than the gap between the rotor and the stator, if the rotating speed was higher than 1800rpm, indicating that the rotor had no contact with the stator and thus was levitated stably. | |||||

Abstract: Aiming at the problem of small time delay in the control system of an active magnetic bearing (AMB), the direct approach is applied to study the effects and compensation of time delay on the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients of active magnetic bearings. Second-derivative feedback is used to compensate time delay effects, and performance of the controller has been verified. The results indicate that the time delay mainly affects the dynamic performance of AMB system in the upper frequency band, and results in the increasing of bearing dynamic stiffness coefficient and the decreasing of bearing dynamic damping coefficient with the high-speed AMB, respectively. The relationship between second-derivative and bearing performance is investigated, and it is shown that the time delay effects on the bearing properties may be effectively compensated by using the second-derivative feedback. | |||||

The dynamics couplings of a rotor are the main problems of tracking control. A feed forward matrix was proposed. Implementations of gimballing control were discussed. Angular displacement stiffness will degrade the precision of gimballing control, and additional currents were added to coils to compensate the disturbance.

Abstract: Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are a kind of passive magnetic bearing based on the eddy currents that develop between a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field. This type of bearing is capable of providing radial stiffness compatible with high speed rotor requirements, but is intrinsically unstable. The stabilization of the rotor is the greatest challenge to the application of electrodynamic bearings. The present work presents a new stabilization strategy for EDBs. The proposed solution is studied by means of analytic models. Experimental results are shown to prove the validity of the modeling and of the stabilization solution. | |||||

Abstract: Eddy current effects are the base of electrodynamic bearings principle. They arise when a conductor moves in a magnetic field. As they are passive by nature, no additional instrumentation such as sensor or power electronics are needed, and this implies several advantages such as the reduced complexity, improved reliability and smaller size and cost. Electrodynamic bearings have also drawbacks such as the difficulty in ensuring a stable levitation in a wide speed range, therefore the bearing design must be based on a dynamic analysis to investigate the stability issue. A prediction of the dynamic performance of rotating systems equipped with axial/radial electrodynamic bearings needs a model able to describe the dynamic behavior. The present paper is devoted to describe and validate experimentally the quasi static and the dynamic model of axial electrodynamic bearings. | |||||

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential of a self-sensing strategy in the case of an electromagnetic damper for the vibration control of flexible structures and rotors. The study has been performed in the case of a single degree of freedom mechanical oscillator actuated by a couple of electromagnets. The self-sensing system is based on a Luenberger observer. Two sets of parameters have been used: nominal ones (based on simplifications on the actuator model) and identified ones. In the latter case, the parameters of the electromechanical model used in the observer are identified starting from the open-loop system response. The observed states are used to close a state-feedback loop with the objective of increasing the damping of the system. The results show that the damping performance are good in both cases, although much better in the second one. Furthermore, the good correlation between the closed loop model response and the experimental results validates the modelling, the identification procedure, the control design and its implementation. The paper concludes on a sensitivity analysis, in which the influence of the model parameters on the closed-loop response is shown. | |||||

Abstract: One of the current topics in magnetic bearings technology is the exploration of their potential in the field of micro machines. Up to now in literature there are very few examples of realization and most of them are just experimental systems but it seems that further investigations can be performed. In this paper the evaluation of the performance of micro magnetic bearings in an application dealing with the navigation of planes and cars is reported. The realization of a miniaturized gyroscopic sensor based on active magnetic bearings (AMBs) is described from the mechanical to the control design. The mechanical and the actuation systems are analyzed along with the realization of the model and of two different control design strategies: a H(inf) and a decentralized MultiSISO control (a classical Proportional Derivative (PD) on each axis). For both the proposed approaches the modelling and the control design phases are discussed. The H(inf) strategy has been evaluated to perform a robust control and consists in a Plant Non-Inverting GS/T Weighting scheme with an explicit integral action and an anti wind-up action. In the case of decentralized strategy, the model of the system containing the transformation from the center mass coordinates to the actuators coordinates is exposed along with the tuning of the proportional and derivative actions. The numerical and experimental results obtained on the prototype with the two control strategies are compared to evaluate their behaviour in this application. Finally, the principle used to make the rotor spinning is exposed and the rotation results are discussed. | |||||

Based on the previous studie, the final engineering design of helium turbomachine and the AMBs for the HTR-10GT have been finished recently. This paper firstly introduces the design principle and technical futures of the AMBs. Then the main structure, as well as the key dimensions and parameters of the different helium turbomachine and AMB components are illustrated in detail.

Such compositions normally correspond to either radial or axial passive magnetic bearings. In contrast to the translational degrees of freedom this paper focuses on therotational and therefore passive tilting stiffness of such systems. An important result is the exact relative position of the concentric rings for which the radial and axial stiffness is zero and the tilt stiffness is positive.

Abstract: For active magnetic bearings (AMBs) to be used with confidence in industrial applications, the safe failure of the AMB system should be guaranteed. The exact behaviour of the rotor on the backup bearings (BBs) is relatively uncertain [1,2,3]. Uncertainty in a failure situation means that the safe failure of the AMB system cannot be guaranteed. The purpose of the presented rotor delevitation simulation model (RDSim model) is to eliminate some of the uncertainties associated with a rotor delevitation event. The simulation model includes a flexible rotor model [4], a non-linear AMB model [5], a non-linear BB model, stator effects, active rotor braking, rotor free running, inner race speed up, AMB/BB load sharing and sudden unbalance (blade-loss simulation).

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are currently in operation in many commercial applications including industrial turbo machines [1] as well as turbo molecular pumps. Since AMBs have important advantages over conventional bearings, new applications of this technology are developed yearly in fields such as commercial heating and air conditioning and space based rotary equipment. A notable advantage of AMBs is the ability to act concurrently as a means of bearing support and as a shaft force sensor. Sensing the force (or reaction) that is applied to the AMB stator through the shaft rotor is achieved by measuring information about the AMB’s magnetic field. This capability has the potential to facilitate advanced health monitoring techniques as well as facilitate improvements in the continuous control of processes used in the production of microfibers and in detailed metal processing [1]. Quality control for such applications can be directly linked to real-time rotor force evaluation. Some researchers have examined the force sensing capability of magnetic bearings by using Hall effect sensors in air gaps between bearing stator and rotor components. In this approach, measured magnetic flux densities are used in force equations to determine applied bearing reactions. Other researchers have employed methods based on measuring magnetic flux density in the bearing electromagnets from electric current data to determine applied bearing reactions, thus eliminating the need for additional sensor hardware. Limitations with both methods include assumptions in the force model associated with leakage, fringing, heterogeneity of magnetic material, and non-uniformity of axial and radial air gaps due to manufacturing tolerances. Misalignment and thermal issues encountered in the field also affect model accuracies [2]. Most magnetic force models assume that these effects are negligible and/or non-measureable. The research presented in this paper introduces a new in situ approach for bearing system identification in an effort to improve magnetic force models and is based on measurement of current and position perturbations. The paper also includes initial proof-of-concept static verification of the proposed method. | |||||

Abstract: Active Magnetic Bearings, due to a plant-intrinsic instability, require a control system for normal operation. Many control strategies have been proposed for the stabilization task, in some instances emphasizing market recognized control approaches, as PID controllers arranged in decentralized structures, and in other instances modern control approaches are envisaged, like LQR or H8 structures. The objective of this paper is to present criteria to assess the performance of such proposed controllers, in order to establish a metric to compare different control schemes. The performance assessment criteria discussed include time domain as well as frequency domain approaches. Such criteria are applied to two control systems used in a laboratory prototype to stabilize a bearingless motor, being one based on PID controllers and the other being a LQR scheme. Discussion of the results is used to select a metric to be applied in the comparison of some controller algorithms, both centralized and decoupled, in order to determine which control law best suits such a bearingless motor. | |||||

Abstract: The bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) is a strong-coupled nonlinear system. To solve the difficult problem of dynamic decoupling control among torque and suspension forces, the relationship between rotor radial suspension force and flux linkage are analyzed, the theory and method of direct torque control (DTC) are applied to the suspension control of the BPMSM in the paper. A double closed-loop control system, in which the inner closed-loop is radial suspension force loop and the outer closed-loop is rotor radial displacement loop, is constructed to control the radial suspension forces directly. The direct suspension force control (DSFC) algorithm based on space vector pulse width modulation (SVM) strategy is deduced, and the DSFC system for the BPMSM are designed and simulated using Matlab software. The simulation results show that the rotor can be suspended stability, torque and radial suspension forces can be controlled independently, the structure of control system is simple, and control system has strong robustness. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, the controller design for self–sensing magnetic bearings is considered using a linear time periodic (LTP) framework. The time periodicity comes from a deliberate bias flux excitation signal allowing to improve the plant properties. Design trade–offs using periodic controllers are investigated. Three design objectives are considered: 1) low sensitivity norm to ensure good robustness, 2) low controller gain to attenuate current measurement noise and to avoid voltage saturation, and 3) low mechanical compliance against external perturbation forces to ensure high bearing stiffness. Different LTP H8 controllers are designed using lifting techniques and linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The resulting controllers are validated using closed–loop simulations with the nonlinear plant. | |||||

2010 | Kunxi, Q., Zihao, X. and Hao, W. | Relation between Minimal Speed and Rotational Inertia of Stable PM Maglev Bearing Rotator | Proceedings of ISMB12 | ||
Abstract: The authors’ former works demonstrated that a passive magnetic (PM) rotator supported merely by PM bearings has a minimal speed, above which it can stabilize its equilibrium, under the function of a so-called Gyro-effect. It is unclear, however, by which factors is this minimal speed determined. To investigate the effect of rotor inertia on minimal speed, three same rotors made of different materials were manufactured: rotor A was made of plastic and its rotary inertia is 6.293×10-5 (kg·m2); rotor B was made of aluminum and its inertia is 1.074×10-4 (kg·m2); rotor C was made of steel and its inertia is 2.081×10-4 (kg·m2).The rotors were tested in a model with PM bearings and the maximal eccentric distance of the rotors was measured. In case the maximal eccentric distance of the rotor was smaller than the gap between the rotor and the stator, the rotor could be considered being suspended. In such way the minimal speed for stable levitation of the rotor A, B and C was obtained to be 4597, 3030 and 2222 rpm respectively. It concluded that the minimal speed increases with the square of decreasing inertia according to a formula: [y=1/(a+bx+cx2), here y: minimal speed, with unit rad/s; x: rotational inertia, with unit kg·m2; a, b, c are constants: a=3.5367×10-5,b= 39.1012,c=-8.8726×104]. | |||||

Abstract: For the magnetically suspended flywheel rotor of big moment of inertia, gyro effect is significant when it is rotating at high speed. Traditional decentralized PD control cannot insure the stability of the system. This paper mainly studies the cross feedback control, analyzes the velocity and displacement cross feedback, explains the control principle of cross feedback. The poles of precession and nutation, and the damping curves are given, showing the trends. And the results of the simulation experiments show that the cross feedback control is effective to restrain the gyro effect. Flywheel systems are widely used in the energy storage, uninterruptible power supply, satellite attitude control, adopting magnetically suspending is an important developing way for the flywheel systems. Magnetic bearing is a new kind of electromagnetic bearing using magnetic force to balance the rotor between the stator. Magnetically suspended machines have the unique advantages of contact-free, without lubrication, adjustable stiffness and damping that traditional bearing cannot substitute. Magnetically suspended flywheel systems are stable in theory adopting decentralized PD control. However, for the flywheel rotor of big moment of inertia, gyro effect is significant when rotating at high speed, constrains to raise the rotating speed, the stability is deteriorated, new control strategy is needed to restrain the gyro effect. This paper mainly studies the cross feedback control aimed at the gyro effect. The control principle of velocity and displacement cross feedback are introduced, analyzed the poles, frequencies and damping of precession and nutation, and the results of simulation experiments are given. | |||||

Abstract: There always exists a problem towards multi-phase concentrated winding bearingless slice motor that the fault of the windings would lead to the motors’ abnormal running when the control strategy is not changed. Taking the six-phases single winding bearingless slice motor for example. Firstly, the short-circuit current of the fault winding was analyzed while each of the winding worked at short-circuit fault state and the expression of the short-circuit current was derived based on the voltage balance equation of the fault winding. Secondly, every possible fault state in this motor was analyzed, and the corresponding fault-tolerance control strategy was presented based on the stator-current reconfiguration principle. In the strategy, the stator-current mathematical model was derived based on the mathematical model of motor’s levitation force and torque. Finally, the fault-tolerance control strategy was verified by comparing levitation force’s pulse and torque’s pulse in the simulation. | |||||

The rotor responses of the AMB-rotor system under the rigid and flexible base supporting conditions were compared, which will provide theoretical basis on the base disturbance rejection performance research of AMB-rotor systems. The results show that under the rigid base supporting condition, the capacity of the AMB’s controller to suppress the base disturbances is very limited. In order to attenuate the disturbance responses, a flexible base with specified mass and stiffness should be adopted in the AMB-rotor system. | |||||

Abstract: Two unbalance control methods, General Notch Filter (GNF) and LMS (least mean square), for active magnetic bearings (AMBs) were applied to a high speed rotor supported by AMBs. The rotor operation was greatly influenced by a large residual unbalance in the rotor and some low frequency vibration modes from the structure of the rotor system. GNF was used to help the rotor to increase its dynamic balance efficiency with two different methods. To achieve a better unbalance cancellation effect for the rotor in a large rotation speed range, GNF and LMS methods were combined in a single unbalance controller and performed in different speed ranges. A simple but effective method was used to achieve a smooth switching of the two methods. Corresponding experiment results are provided. GNF algorithm increased the balance efficiency. The smooth switching of GNF and LMS was successful and the unbalance control effects were improved. | |||||

For the control of thrust bearing actuator current, eddy current effects are also considered as they cause frequency dependant inductance and resistance of the thrust coil.

Abstract: Since few years ago, electrical energy storage had been attracted as an effective use of electricity and coping with the momentary voltage drop. Above all, energy storage flywheel systems using superconductor have advantages of long life, high energy density, and high efficiency. Our experimental machine uses a superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) together with a permanent magnet bearing (PMB) and plans to reduce the overall cost and cooling cost. Energy storage flywheel systems operate by storing energy mechanically in a rotating flywheel. The generating motor is used to rotate flywheel and to generating electricity from flywheel rotational. The generating motor consists of 2-phase 4-poles brush-less DC motor and a Hall sensor. A purpose of this research is the development of a compact energy storage flywheel system using SMB and PMB. This paper shows the new model of flywheel by using yajirobei (balancing toy) principle that has higher storage energy comparing with conventional one, the improvement and evaluation of motor drive (DC motor) to increase the speed rotating, and estimating the system at momentary voltage drop. | |||||

The low power control, with reduced bias current, approach of the flywheel active magnetic bearings is used. The weighting functions are designed in order to meet robust control conditions. The laboratory investigations of the flywheel with high gyroscopic effects operated at low speed meet the control and energy performances requirements. | |||||

Abstract: The paper presents a comparison of different selected MIMO (Multi Input – Multi Output)-control algorithms applied to a test rotor supported by magnetic bearings in the lateral direction. Here, the contribution is focused on the lateral direction. The rotor is considered as flexible, correspondingly, a FE-model is created, and digital controllers are employed. Moreover, a challenge of controlling the rotors of turbocompressors is to take into account the effects of the fluid forces, which destabilize the first forward mode shape in high pressure applications. | |||||

2010 | Lima, F., Rosa, F.C. and Fumagalli, M.A. | Simulation of a Neurofuzzy High Speed Estimation Applied to Magnetic Bearing Systems | Proceedings of ISMB12 | ||
Abstract: The tendency to build light and high-speed rotors, to achieve a high performance of the machine, has as consequence a possible interaction between the rotor and its stator. During this interaction, the friction between the rotor and its stator, and the high energy of the former, can produce very complicated dynamical behavior. During contact the high energy of the rotor, which is dissipated by the frictional force, can severely damage both parts [1]. Estimating the rotor speed is an important task in conventional asynchronous motors. The elimination of the mechanical sensor as an encoder or a tachometer reduces the cost, improves the precision and the reliability of the whole system. Magnetic bearings systems always use a velocity sensor. In the case of failure of this sensor, rotor speed estimation could be used, in order to bring the rotor to still stand in a safety away, avoiding the situation mentioned above, therefore, the contact between the rotor and its retainer bearings. Several techniques are available in the literature for estimating the rotor speed of asynchronous motors. Recently, soft computing techniques are carried out to cover this proposal. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique has been successfully applied to estimating the speed of a conventional asynchronous motor. This work presents a simulation of a neuro-fuzzy speed estimator for a high speed asynchronous motor within a magnetic bearing system. As mentioned, the reliability of the system can be increased. | |||||

Abstract: The development of advanced control algorithms to guarantee stability and high performance of a rotor-AMB system subject to uncertainties and disturbances is an active area of research. The model based control paradigm entails consideration of the dynamics of all components that will affect the stability and performance of a system. Control design for a flexible rotor supported on active magnetic bearings provides an additional challenge since uncertainties such as the magnitudes of cross-coupled stiffness forces strongly affect the stability of the closed-loop system. Recent work has highlighted the use of sensitivity functions in determining stability margins for AMB supported turbomachinery. The output sensitivity function provides a means of quantifying the disturbance rejection and reference command tracking properties of the closed-loop system. Our work presents an analysis of the closedloop AMB sensitivity functions of the rotor-AMB system. We present simulations of the effects of varying mid-span aerodynamic cross-coupled stiffness on stability and performance of several µ-optimal controllers designed in a mixed-sensitivity framework, measurements of experimental sensitivity functions from the levitated rotor, and recommendations on the selection of weighting functions to improve the performance. | |||||

Abstract: This paper shows how model based fault detection and diagnosis can be integrated into the active magnetic bearing system. It describes two appropriate fault-detection methods on the example of centrifugal pumps in magnetic bearings and shows how typical fault states occurring on these pumps can be detected and diagnosed. Prior to the fault detection the modeling of the magnetic bearing system is described. The investigated multi model method contains a bank of models representing the systems transfer behavior for the different fault. With this method the error between the outputs of the models and the output of the plant are provided as features for the fault diagnosis. Abalancing filter is described helping to separate the different features more clearly. Instead of computing the complete frequency behavior of the plant the transfer factor method uses the Goertzel algorithm to compute only significant discrete frequency points and provides the complex transfer factor as feature. It is shown that fault detection and diagnosis could be integrated within AMB systems. Both methods are well suited to provide reliable information about the system state. | |||||

Abstract: In active magnetic bearing (AMB)-rotor system, a method for the multi-frequency periodic vibration suppressing is proposed by an adaptive structure with the finite-duration impulse response (FIR) filter. To cater for the requirement of the long duration impulse response filter arisen in the AMB-rotor system, the Fast Block Least Mean Square (FBLMS) algorithm is adopted to efficiently implement the computation of linear convolution and linear correlation at a computational cost far less than that of the conventional FIR filter of time domain. The unique feature of the FBLMS algorithm is characterized by no influence on the computational complexity, regardless of the number of the vibration frequency components within the range of sampling frequency. The convergence rate of each frequency component can be adjusted by assigning the individual step size parameter for each filter weight. Furthermore, each harmonic component of the vibration can be addressed respectively or together. The experimental results of the reciprocating simulating disturbance test and the rotating harmonic vibration test show that the proposed adaptive structure with the FBLMS algorithm can achieve the good effectiveness for suppressing the multi-frequency periodic vibration. | |||||

Abstract: In the field of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) the self-sensing theme attracts attention due to the ongoing drive for compact integration and cost reduction. Self-sensing makes use of the AMB’s actuator to sense the position and to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. The aim of the direct current measurement method (DCM) is to reduce phase shift produced by demodulation methods used in the past. The DCM self-sensing scheme makes use of a specific PWM switching method, which enables the estimation of the rotor position by only measuring the power amplifier ripple current. The DCM technique also has the added benefit of less sensitivity for cross-coupling effects. In this paper the PWM switching method, the method used to extract the current ripple and scaling are discussed. Simulations are done on a transient AMB model which resembles the physical system and practical results are obtained from the practical implementations. | |||||

A test rig is operated using two AMBs supporting a rigid rotor with a centric journal bearing. An identification procedure for the stiffness and damping coefficients of journal bearings is presented. This procedure incorporates the successful application of AMBs for positioning, supporting, sensing and actuating the rotor simultaneously. For identification the real excitation force is needed. Two methods to derive a force-current-position relationship are outlined and compared: an idealized mathematical relation and a measured force-current-position map.

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings have become more popular as an alternative to fluid-film or rolling element bearings in rotating machinery. They have also become a method for force excitation for rotordynamic experiments, including system identification experiments. The current work considers alternate active magnetic bearing designs for a fluid film bearing test rig. The three designs considered include a conventional 8-pole design with equal widths, a 12-pole bearing with e-core quadrants, and a 16-pole alternate with two exterior auxiliary poles and two interior main poles per quadrant. Several previous studies have considered equal pole widths in optimizing magnetic bearing stator geometry. While not an optimization study, this analysis presents a comparison of popular AMB geometries commonly used in industrial applications. The load capacity, magnetic field energy, and inductance were compared. The 16-pole bearing was shown to have the highest load capacity of the three designs. The inductive load also increased with increasing number of poles. The 12 and 16 pole designs, with reduced auxiliary pole width, also exhibited better containment of the magnetic flux within each active magnetic bearing quadrant, which simplifies the control problem. The results are of use for AMB designers and provide guidance for future stator optimization studies. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearing technology is one of the most promising future technologies in the area of electrical drive systems. Due to the contact-free rotor suspension numerous advantages arise. The utilization of passive magnetic bearings is a very effective way of realizing magnetic levitation. Thereby, systems with a minimal constructive complexity can be obtained. However, such constructions have a main drawback: the damping of the passively stabilized degrees of freedom is negligibly small. External excitations or resonant vibrations may cause considerable damage to the bearing system. This study describes an effective way to damp vibrations by means of viscoelastic elements. The mathematical formulation of the overall dynamic system is derived and the analytic results are verified by measurements. | |||||

Abstract: Within the frame of an international research program that was supported by the European Commission, one subtask was to determine the dynamic behaviour of rotating shafts of turbo machines using a Hybrid Magnetic Bearing Concept (HMBC). This HMBC denotes the combination of Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) with an additional Permanent Magnetic Bearing (PMB). For the present investigations a permanent magnetic radial shear force bearing was used. Due to their characteristics the conventional active magnetic suspension and the permanent magnetic support affect each other. This mutual action has to be considered at the benefit analysis of a hybrid bearing system. This contribution outlines the scientific approach of these studies. The overarching objective was to make the results sustainable to use. Therefore validated models will be necessary that are able to recreate the dynamic behaviour of a magnetic suspended rotor with the support of an additional permanent magnetic bearing. The basis of this approach is the application of methods of theoretical and experimental modelling. The validation of the created models was made with reference to experimental tests on the FLP 500 test facility in Zittau, Germany. For the necessary experiments the completely AMB-supported test rig was equipped with an additional permanent magnetic radial bearing. | |||||

Abstract: with active magnetic bearings (AMBs). This AMB-supported pump was installed and tested in the inter-cooling circuit of a 500 MW block-unit in a lignite power station as a demonstration plant. The aim was to proof the suitability of magnetic bearings for using on turbo machines under operation conditions in a power station [1]. After the phase of commissioning the pump was used in a long term operation as the main operation pump [2]. The pump was subjected to a revision after an approx. three and a half year running time. Thereby the condition of the pump, especially of the bearing components was checked. The disassembling of the pump was covered by some difficulties, caused by corrosion of mechanical parts. In addition with detected damages on single components, countermeasures for prevention had to be derived. Furthermore design criterions, applicable materials and requirements e. g. for the shaft seals can be concluded. This report gives an insight into the increase of experience and knowledge collected during the revision of the AMB-supported coolant pump. | |||||

In all high-speed drive systems the bearing technology is a key component. Therefore, this paper presents the analysis of an active magnetic bearing suitable for a permanent magnet machine, being part of a high-speed electrical drive system. The analysis has its focus on the detailed characterization of the magnetic forces, the coupling between the different axes and the verification of the theoretical considerations by means of 3D-FEM simulations. To understand the behavior of the bearing forces is needed to implement the position control to the prototype of the bearing system, which already has been built. | |||||

Abstract: In recent years, superconducting technology has rapidly advanced and has been applied to several devices like magnetoencephalography(MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). Superconductivity occur at extremely low temperatures, hence liquid helium is always used to achieve it. In order to conserve liquid helium, a circulation system has been recently developed. In the developed system, a pump will be used for cooling liquid helium. In addition, this pump will improve the capability of medical devices that use superconducting coils. In this paper, we propose the development of a vacuum pump that can be used at extremely low temperatures by using axial self bearing motor (ASBM) and superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB). The pump has the advantages of no friction, as there is no contact, high efficiency and no maintenance. The design of the pump is presented, and the control method is theoretically and practically analyzed. We performed an experiment to confirm that the reliability of the proposed vacuum pump. | |||||

Abstract: The design of a high speed bearingless drive shows special requirements concerning topology and loss minimization. This paper discusses the use of a bearingless disc motor for such a purpose. The effects of the selected geometric dimensions on the ability to produce passive and active bearing forces are studied in 3D-FEM simulations. Furthermore, a toroid winding, suitable for the chosen flat motor geometry, and an adequate 5-phase winding scheme are proposed. In an analytical part, the copper losses due to the motor and bearing currents, as well as due to the external rotor magnet field are calculated. The results lead to the selection of a preferable litz wire gauge which is finally used in the construction of a first motor prototype. | |||||

Abstract: A wind-tunnel system for spinning body is proposed to measure hydrodynamic forces acting on the body. In the proposed system, the body is suspended and rotated by electromagnets. The forces are measured from the control signal for suspension. An experimental apparatus is fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility. In the apparatus, eight electromagnets are placed around the wind-tunnel. A photo sensor using four lens and phototransistors was manufactured for detecting three-dimensional positions of the body. In the experiment, stable suspension and three-dimensional positioning of the body were achieved. Spinning of the body was realized by superimposing two-phase AC signals on the control signal. The fluid drag force was measured from the control input of PID controller. It was ascertained that the drag force increases as the flow velocity increases. | |||||

Abstract: System identification can be used in automated retuning of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) rotor system during commissioning. In the case of good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the identification measurements are more time effective using multisine excitation than stepped sine excitation. A multisine signal contains selected frequencies in the desired frequency range. Since in multisine excitation the signal distributes the power over F frequencies, the SNR of the measurement deteriorates. The SNR is improved by averaging the measured frequency response function (FRF) over several measurements. The purpose of this study is to investigate the suitability of different frequency response function estimators for an AMB rotor system identification. The results show that the most accurate estimator for this setup with non-synchronous measurements and the excitation used, is a joint-input-output estimator. | |||||

Abstract: A tubular linear induction motor applied to onshore oil exploitation was proposed recently. Its purpose is to directly drive the sucker-rod pump installed in the down hole of the oil well. In continuing the research an active magnetic bearing (AMB) was developed and applied to the motor in substitution to the existing mechanical bearing. Instead of the usual eight-pole AMB, a different concept is adopted where a DC-excited primitive bearingless machine is used as a magnetic bearing. The magnetic bearing levitation control is executed by a digital controller using an AD/DA converter and a control algorithm implemented in FPGA hardware. A linear model is written to describe its dynamics. In this work the AMB system is studied with particular emphasis to the experimental results obtained with the prototype in operation. Tests performed on this prototype show that the AMB can be an interesting alternative to be considered in this context. | |||||

Abstract: Lately higher speed and higher power drive technology is more demanding in many industrial application such as several kinds of turbo machinery ex. compressor, expander and generator relating to various kind of gas processing. Active magnetic bearing should be a one of potential device to support such high power density rotor. On the other hands, high power densitywill induce several technical problems. One of these technical problems is thermal problem. Hence the rotor supported by active magnetic bearing can only dissipate generated heat by means of convection and radiation (no conduction), elongation of the rotor may cause serious change in mechanical air gap, especially axial air gap between rotor and touch down bearings shall be carefully considered. For handling this problem, thermal analysis of entire machine is needed.[1] The mathematical model of entire machine shall be consisting of rotor and all of non-rotating components such as activemagnetic bearing’s actuator,motor stator, housing and cooling jacket. Further more it is better to simulate transient thermal behavior of each machine components, author has developedMatlab/simlink based simulation tool for this purpose. | |||||

2010 | Allaire, P. | Design and Analysis of Magnetic Suspension for New Artificial Heart | Proceedings of ISMB12 | ||
Abstract: Artificial hearts have been developed with magnetic suspension for the last 20 years, starting at the University of Virginia. A new axial flow path, magnetically suspended artificial heart-the Lifeflow-is currently under development. The magnetic suspension consists of two permanent magnet biased active radial bearings and an axial permanent magnet thrust bearing. The radial bearings are six pole bearings which employ self sensing. The pump rotates at approximately 7,000 rpm with a flow rate of approximately 5 liters/min and a pressure rise of 100 mm of Hg. The magnetic suspension system consumes only about 2 watts due to the combined use of the permanent and active magnetic bearings. A finite element analysis has been carried out to determine the magnetic properties of the magnetic suspension system. The thrust bearing has been constructed to not require a thrust disk-which permits a very streamlined flow path for the blood through the pump. The properties of the permanent magnetic thrust bearing-magnetic flux, load capacity, axial/radial stiffness have been determined. For the active radial bearings, the bias flux, radial load capacity, open loop stiffness and current gain have been calculated. A magnetic suspension test rig has been constructed and experimental tests are ongoing. One of the features of most current artificial heart pumps available for human implantation is that only the motor current is available to monitor the operating condition in the pump when implanted. This low level of monitoring is not sufficient to effectively monitor heart pump performance when implanted. For example, many current artificial heart pumps are subject to thrombus formation which can lead to strokes. New features of the Lifeflow pump include pressure sensors to determine the pressure at the inlet and the discharge regions of the pump, impeller radial displacements during implanted pump operation. These operating system measurements, as well as motor currents, will be sent via wifi to the monitoring medical team. It is expected that active, remote monitoring of these pumps will assist in maintaining safe pump operation. | |||||

An outstanding feature is that a carrier wave or demodulation is not needed, while performances comparable to that of existing techniques are obtained. The first is based on eddy-current energy loss, and has very simple sensor electronics. The second is capacitance type. It works by cyclic charge and discharge of a capacitor, and allows for direct fabrication on printed circuit board. The third is inductance type. It permits sensing across a 0.5-mm thickness wall of non-magnetic stainless-steel material, while the bandwidth is a few kHz. | |||||

Abstract: An auto-eliminating clearance auxiliary bearing (ACAB) for Active Magnetic Bearing systems (AMBs) has been conceived and a prototype system tested. In the ACAB, a ball bearing is directly mounted on a rotor, and the outer race of the ball bearing is surrounded by a series of interconnected supporters. In the open position, a clearance exists between the outer race and the ACAB supporters. When the rotor mounted with ball bearing drop on ACAB supporter(s) due to either an AMB system failure or transient shock, the generated friction between the outer race and supporter(s) will rotate the supporters circumferentially to eliminate the clearance and re-center the ball bearing and rotor. Since the clearance is eliminated, the impact force between the outer race and supporters is reduced and the possibility of backward whirl is eliminated. This paper presents the design methodology of those supporters. And a preliminary feasibility prototype experimental rig was established under the situation of simulated AMB system failure. Experimental results demonstrate feasibility of the ACAB. | |||||

Abstract: In recent years, demands for magnetically supported direct drives which operate con-tactless and feature a high torque capacity arise in industry. This paper presents an advantageous solution for a bearingless torque motor. The proposed configuration consists of a six phase winding cofiguration with concentrated coils in double star connection to keep power electronics efforts to a minimum. The six phase winding system generates simultaneously both, the actively controlled motor torque and the radial bearing forces for radial position control. The disk shaped hollow shaft rotor carries 26 permanent mag-nets. To reduce the systems costs, tilting de ection and the axial position of the rotor are stabilized passively by the magnetic reluctance forces. The mathematical model and an appropriate control for current and voltage drivers is introduced. Finally, the prototype motor is shown with special attention to the angle and rotor position sensor evaluation. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper novel topologies of multiphase bearingless motors featuring outstanding motor effciency and high radial force capacity are presented. For a systematic layout a simple design guideline is provided. These motors are especially suitable for applications where high torque at relatively low speed is demanded, therefore this configuration is referred to as bearingless torque motor. Since there are no dedicated bearing and motor windings the winding scheme becomes very simple and is furthermore characterized by concentrated coils only. Motor designs with different pole and slot configurations are compared by means of appropriate performance indexes. For the most promising design a demonstrator was manufactured and tested. | |||||

Abstract: Compared with rolling bearing and sliding bearing, there is no mechanical friction and wear in magnetic bearing because there is no mechanical contact. But there is still a similar character with the mechanical friction force while magnetic bearing working. The force can be defined as an equivalent friction force for the similar to mechanical friction force. The equivalent friction force is studied and is used in calculation of power loss in magnetic bearing. It means that the power loss in magnetic bearing is equal to the equivalent friction force multiplied by the rotor speed. The definitions of the power loss in magnetic bearing and friction character are the same as those of rolling bearing and sliding bearing. A research method of equivalent friction force and power loss in magnetic bearing which is analogy of the conventional research method of rolling bearing and sliding bearing is put forward. A calculation method of power loss in magnetic bearing is presented. All of this will benefit the design of magnetic bearing system. | |||||

Abstract: To optimize stiffness per magnet volume ratio, whichs major intentions are to reduce the costs and to preserve material resources, an energy based analytical calculation method of the radial stiffness for permanent magnetic bearings with arbitrary magnetization is introduced. To simplify the calculations the stiffness is calculated from a planar model, what means that the annular ring magnets are treated as infinitely long parallel bars. The error made by neglecting the curvature effect is investigated and shows to be negligible for reasonable designs. Using this calculation method, optimal geometries for permanent magnetic ring bearings with Halbach type magnetization are presented. Thereby, discrete Halbach stacking, i.e. several stacked rings with rotating magnetization from axial to radial and so on, and continuous Halbach magnetization, i.e. one magnet that is magnetized sinusoidal, is distinguished. To show the possible improvement of stiffness per magnet volume ratio, also the characterizing values for standard single ring bearings and standard stacked structures are calculated. | |||||

Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop and to apply a new control approach dedicated to turbomachinery. The controller is fuzzy based usinginputs expressed in polar coordinates. The advantage is that it manages two significant physical quantities, namely tangential and radial speeds that are related to steady state and transient behaviors respectively. A simple synchronous filter is associated to the controller in order to enhance the ratio command force / bearing dynamic capacity. The approach was previously applied experimentally with success for the control of an academic test rig. It is adapted here for the control of an industrial compressor whose flexible rotor is supported by Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB). At this stage, only numerical investigations are performed. The controller has to satisfy the standards and the end users requirements. In addition, it should be easy to implement. The behavior of the machine studied is assessed for several configurations of unbalances. Tests that correspond to usual industrial excitations (subsynchronous excitation, impulse response at nominal speed) are also carried out. Results obtained are satisfactory and give insight into the potential of the approach. In addition, and as the fuzzy controller parametersare independent from the rotor design, the approach is a first step for the standardization ofmagnetic bearing controller synthesis. | |||||

Abstract: The design of multi coordinate drives (MCD) with nanometre positioning uncertainty and long planar motion range of several hundred millimetres is a worldwide research challenge. Ac-tive magnetic guidance (AMG) is suitable for these precision applications due to its non-contact support principle. One drawback is the heat generation due to ohmic loss in the control coil which should be minimized and kept constant to meet high precision demands [1, pp. 83-84]. In [2] an elastically supported hybrid active magnetic guidance (ES-HAMG) is proposed. A hybrid magnet combines a permanent magnet with a coil, additionally it is connected in series with a mechanical spring. This device is capable of reducing the thermal dissipation by 80% at varying load force on a sample ES-HAMG. This contribution gives a more comprehensive view on ES-HAMG inMCD than [2]. A model to estimate possible savings in power dissipation is derived in detail. The employed controller design theory is given. Experiments confirm theoretical energy savings and the nanopositioning capabilities. | |||||

Abstract: 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. The most interesting aspect of EDBs is that levitation can be obtained by passive means, hence, no electronic equipment, such as power electronics or sensors, are necessary. Despite their promising characteristics, rotors running on EDBs are still lacking a design procedure; furthermore, at present the static behavior of a bearing can only be defined by means of finite element analyses. The aim of the present paper is to present a methodology that allows performing a first approximation design without resorting to detailed FE analyses. The methodology is based on the use of non-dimensional parameters, similar to the analysis of fluid bearings (Sommerfeld number). The non-dimensional quantities are derived using dimensional analysis, and contain the main geometrical and physical parameters determining the EDBs' performance. The relation between the non-dimensional quantities characterizing the static performance of the EDB is derived using FE simulations and is presented in the form of graphs. | |||||

2012 | Qian, K.-X. | World-unique Permanent Maglev Turbine Reaches a Speed Over 30,000 rpm | Proceedings of ISMB13 | ||
Abstract: The author's former works on developing a permanent maglev heart pump have been questioned because the rotor of the heart pump has only ca. 20g weight and there is liquid in the pump. To levitate a heavier rotor with passive magnetic(PM) bearing and to avoid the possibility that a fluid bearing may act on the levitation of the rotor, the author applied the passive magnetic bearing in turbine machine. A prototype of permanent maglev gas turbine was developed. The device has a rotor and a stator, both radial and axial PM bearings were used to support the rotor weighing over 2kg. The gap between the rotor and the stator was 1mm, thereby no possible air bearing can be built up to support the rotor together with the PM bearings. First experiment by a model permanent maglev turbine demonstrated that the rotor's maximal eccentric distance, measured by 4 Hall sensors, would be smaller than the gap between the rotor and the stator, if the rotating speed was higher than 1800rpm, indicating that the rotor had no contact with the stator and thus was levitated stably under the action of PM bearing alone. In more extensive experiments with this prototype, the rotating speed of the device reached 30,773rpm, a value approaching that in practical application. It can be concluded that PM bearing can merely support the rotor of a gas turbine being suspended fully and stably in the stator, same as that in blood pump; this result may overturn the principle acknowledged worldwide for hundreds years that permanent maglev could not be stable. | |||||

Abstract: This paper proposes a semi-zero power control method of a permanent magnetic suspension system using a flux path control mechanism with a constant air gap. This permanent magnetic suspension system consists of a disk-type permanent magnet, two “F� type iron cores, a rotary actuator with an encoder and a reducer, and a suspended object with a bar shape. In this system, the gravitational force of the suspended object is transmitted to the base part of the system, and the actuator only drives the permanent magnet rotate. Therefore, this system can realize the semi-zero power control. Moreover, when the mass of suspended object increases, the system just changes the bias angle of the permanent magnet, and maintains the air gap length constant. In another way, this system also can maintain the bias angle of magnet constant, and changes the air gap length short to realize the semi-zero power control. This paper focuses on the semi-zero power suspension characteristics of this system, elaborates the system’s mechanism, and analyzes the semi-zero power suspension performances with a constant air gap length. | |||||

It has eight electromagnets placed around the wind-tunnel, and a newly fabricated 3-axis optical sensor that operates in the fully differential mode. Stable suspension and three-dimensional positioning of the body were achieved in the developed system. Spinning of the body was realized by superimposing two-phase AC signals on the control signal. The hydrodynamic forces acting on the spinning body are measured successfully. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents a new modeling method based on Maxwell tensor method for radial suspension forces of AC magnetic bearing. Comparing existing method, the invention explicitly designed for AC magnetic bearing is more accurate. Take the AC hybrid magnetic bearing (AC HMB) for example, this paper presents the mathematically modeling process of radial suspension forces with the proposed method. In a comparison of the model established by equivalent magnetic circuit method and by the proposed method, the high uniformity is revealed in its expression form (the only difference is the coefficient between them). To illustrate the precision of the proposed modeling approach, relevant verification experiment are designed and conducted. Indeed, the experimental results show that the proposed modeling method is more accurate than the traditional method (equivalent magnetic circuit method). | |||||

Abstract: The main aim of the paper is to operate an AMB system inside the magnetically saturated region. We investigate how to stabilize a highly nonlinear AMB system with the actuator magnetic saturation by estimating the system states and parameters of the unconstrained bearing in real time. The stabilization is achieved by a combination of the controller and the extended Kalman filter to estimate the states of the plant. In the extended Kalman filter, the magnetization behavior has been modeled by using low-order piecewise polynomial approximation. The extended Kalman applied to the AMB system introduces an additional challenge because of the computational burden, numerical stability when computing the inverse of the innovation covariance matrix, and the non-continuous derivative in the computed Jacobeans. Feasibility of different control configurations is examined. As the case study we use the 1 DOF balancing beam model. The proposed solution for the system operation in the magnetic saturation provides such benefits as: the reduced size and costs of bearings, improved robust performance and stability, and an increased controllability region with respect to control variables. | |||||

Abstract: In an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system, the catcher bearings (CBs) are indispensable to protect the rotor and stator in case the magnetic bearings fail. Most of the former researches associated with CBs are mainly focused on the dynamic responses of the rotor drops onto traditional single-decker catcher bearings (SDCBs). Based on the analysis of the disadvantages of SDCBs, a new type of double-decker catcher bearings (DDCBs) is proposed to enhance the CB work performance in AMB system. Detailed simulation models containing rigid rotor model, contact model between rotor and inner race, DDCB model as well as SDCB model after rotor drop are established using Multi-body dynamics simulation software MSC.ADAMS. Then, using those established models the dynamic responses of rotor drops onto DDCBs and SDCBs are respectively simulated. The rotor orbits, contact forces and spin speeds of various parts after AMB failure are mainly analyzed. The simulation result shows that DDCBs can effectively improve reduce the following vibrations and impacts. Finally, rotor drop experiments choosing different types of CBs are carried out on the established AMB test bench. Rotor orbits and the rotating speeds of both inner race and intermediate races after rotor drop are synchronously measured. The experiment results verify the advantages of DDCB and the correctness of simulation analysis. The studies provide certain theoretical and experimental references for the application of DDCBs in AMB system. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearing systems are commonly used for high speed rotor applications, having particular advantages in low pressure/vacuum environments. The benefits of using magnetic bearing systems are well documented in terms of low fiction and controllable stiffness and damping. In order to protect magnetic bearings in cases of power failure, intermittent faults and unexpected external disturbances, secondary back-up or touchdown bearings are usually included so that rotor/stator contact is prevented. If, for any reason, a rotor should make contact with a touchdown bearing, the ensuing rotor dynamic response will depend on operational parameters and any residual rotor unbalance distribution. The influence of unbalance force distributions on the contact rotor dynamics are demonstrated in this paper. Interactions between a rotor and touchdown bearings can cause relatively high contact forces that could be damaging in terms of direct mechanical stresses and through induced heat inputs when slip occurs. Inorder to alleviate the contact problem an actively controlled touchdown bearing system has been proposed to reduce contact forces and, where possible, recover rotor positional control and return it to a condition of contact-free levitation. Active touchdown bearing control may be applied together with magnetic bearing control and suggested strategies to encourage rotor contact-free levitation are assessed in this paper. | |||||

Abstract: The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in place of traditional mechanical bearings for rotating machinery has been increasing. AMBs have been used not only in research studies, but also in a wide range of industrial applications. One of the key challenges in AMB appli-cations is the design of control systems that maintain stability in the presence of external loads and disturbances. The most commonly used controller for AMB systems is the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, whose design involves the tuning of control coefficients. Since manual tuning of these coefficients is time consuming, different systematic tuning methods have been developed and reported on in the literature. This paper examines some of these tuning methods in AMB control systems. Both simulation and experiments are carried out on an AMB test rig to compare the performance of the closed-loop systems resulting from these tuning meth-ods in terms of steady state accuracy and robustness. Simulation and experiments of each tuning method are conducted at rotational speeds ranging from 2,000 rpm to 11,000 rpm to evaluate the response peak (orbital size). Also, the frequency responses of the sensitivity function (S) under PID controllers tuned with different methods are measured and used to compare the robustness of the closed-loop system. | |||||

Abstract: The increasing world energy demand as well as the necessity of environmental clean developments has turned the industry attention to improvements in renewable energy. In this context, wind power plants present technological advantages as an excellent source of clean energy. The current vertical-axis wind turbines are going to be a novel energy supplier in urban centers due to both low-cost and low-impact architectural design. Moreover, they have good performance even in the presence of turbulent winds. A magnetic suspension can greatly improve the performance, expanding the operating points to very low wind velocities. Active magnetic bearings present limiting factors such as power consumption and complexity of the system, due to sensors, power electronic circuits and the control system. In other way, passive techniques, which use permanent magnets and/or superconductors, can be alternatives in some applications. This paper presents a contribution to the design of passive magnetic bearings for vertical-axis wind turbines. Finite element simulations and experimental data will be presented. | |||||

Abstract: Conventional bearingless motors and magnetic bearings with one- to five-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) active positioning require a number of inverter modules, windings, position sensors, and electromagnets. To reduce the size and power consumption of this type of motor, the authors previously proposed a one-DOF actively positioned bearingless motor, referred to as a single-drive bearingless motor that has only one three-phase winding set and one three-phase inverter. Although the successful non-contact operation of this motor was demonstrated previously, a rotor of the test machine ran up to only 800 r/min because of serious resonance. The aim of this study was to improve the rotation performance of the single-drive bearingless motor. The cause of the rotor vibration was a discontinuous distribution of the magnetic flux density in the air-gap. One possible solution has been proposed in this paper. The test machine with an improved rotor was successfully driven up to 2000 r/min. | |||||

Abstract: Extra low-power suspension in gravitational field is achieved by a magnetic suspension system whose power source is solely solar photovoltaics. Presently, solar photovoltaic cells become more efficient and cost-saving year by year. In this study, solar photovoltaic generation technique is combined with the zero-power magnetic suspension. The zero-power control achieves the steady state in which the attractive force produced by the permanent magnets balances the weight of the floator and the control current converges to zero. In this system, the power necessary for generating the suspension forceis very small. However, the peripheral devices including sensors and a controller need power for operation. The power consumed in the peripheral devices becomes dominant in the total power in the steady state. In this work, dedicated power-saving peripheral devices are newlyfabricated. The average power consumed in the electromagnet is 20[mW] to suspend a 90-glammass, while the power consumed in the peripheral devices is 24[mW]. The photovoltaic cells used in the apparatus has a maximum power capacity of about 2[W] in the summer sunlightof 120[kLx]. The system achieves stable suspension even under the illuminance of a fluorescent lamp of 7[kLx]. | |||||

Abstract: Reducing the energy consumption of active magnetic bearings is important for some appli-cations to reduce operating cost, expand the operating period, and avoid heat generation. The power loss of magnetic bearings consists of ohmic, electronic circuit, windage, eddy current, and hysteresis losses. With the exception of windage, these losses are functions of the coil currents, therefore, minimization of these has a significant effect on the overall energy efficiency of a mag-netic bearing. In this paper, a variable bias current scheme is introduced to minimize the energy consumption without altering the dynamic performance. Since the current stiffness and negative stiffness of the magnetic bearing are functions of the bias current, it is possible to achieve invari-ant dynamics for various bias current settings. The optimum bias current is calculated from the demand bearing force and instantaneous rotor displacement, but errors in model parameters may result in changes in system dynamics. Therefore, correct parameter values are required for invari-ant dynamics. In this paper, estimation methods for various parameter errors are introduced and verified experimentally. The proposed variable bias current controller and parameter estimation methods yield significant energy savings, are simple to implement and applicable to a wide range of magnetic bearing systems. | |||||

Abstract: Bearingless motors are required in centrifugal pumps, reaction wheels and artificial hearts for the applications in semiconductor manufacturing, space applications and medical devices, respectively. Two-axis actively regulated bearingless motors have the advantages of low cost and compactness. Only two degrees of freedom are actively regulated in the radial x-ydirections. Thus it is known that tilting motion causes seriousinterference to the radial position regulation. The interference occurs when the following three positions are not exactly corresponding; (i) the center of gravity of the rotor, (ii) the application point of the suspension force, and (iii) the position of the displacement sensors. A discrepancyin these positions causes tilting and axial displacements, which results in a reduction of radial suspension force. In this paper, a 3D-FEM analysis of the radial suspension force is carried out taking into account the rotor tilting displacement. A precise measurement method of the static radial suspension force is proposed and tested. The experiment results indicate a good correspondence to the finite element analysis. | |||||

Abstract: In centering electrodynamic bearings, the guiding forces result from the interaction between eddy currents generated by a magnetic flux variation in conductors and the magnetic field. Predicting the dynamical behavior of this kind of bearings is not easy given the interactions between the electromagnetic nature of the forces and the rotational machinery aspects. In this paper, an electromechanical model, able to explain, predict, analyze and simulate the dynamical behavior of bearings submitted to eddy current forces, is applied on a homopolar null-flux electrodynamic bearing. The identification of the model’s parameters is done based on quasi-static FEM simulation results. Thanks to the insight the electromechanical model gives on the physics involved in the bearing, the dynamical stability and the stiffness of the bearing are analyzed as a function of the bearing spin speed. For various operation conditions like a constant external load or a static unbalance, the behavior of the electrodynamic bearing is simulated and examined using the electromechanical model. For all these operation conditions, the influence of the external damping, necessary to stabilize the system is analyzed. The amount of necessary damping to introduce is discussed and also its impact on the overall bearing consumption. | |||||

Abstract: In order to calculate the dynamic behavior of magnetically levitated rotors (eigenfrequencies, rotor deflections...), the knowledge of the radial and tilt stiffness of the active and passive magnetic bearings is necessary. An optimization of the stability against exter-nal disturbances and internal excitations (unbalance, magnetic tolerances) requires a large number of calculations of these magnetic bearing parts. Therefore, a short calculation time of the reluctance forces is crucial. As an original rotational symmetry is lost in case of a radially de ected or tilted rotor, the tilt stiffness and the radial stiffness of magnetic bearing parts are usually calculated with a 3D-FE software. These time-consuming cal-culations prevent fast optimizations of the rotor dynamics. This paper shows a method for the approximate calculation of the radial and tilt stiffness of rotationally symmetric magnetostatic problems by using a 2D-FE program. The accuracy of the approximation method will be verified by comparing the results with the exact analytical solution of a pure permanent magnetic configuration. | |||||

Abstract: We have developed a maglev ventricular assist device (VAD) for use in infant patients, which requires the device to be smaller compared to adult devices. In this research, a miniaturized axial gap maglev motor for use as a paediatric VAD is reported. In addition, radial position control theory using P±2 pole algorithm is proposed, and the feasibility of radial position control with the miniaturized axial gap maglev motor is examined by using magnetic field analysis. The double stator motor consists of a top stator, a bottom stator and a levitated rotor set between the stators which have an identical structure. A double stator mechanism has been adopted to enhance motor torque with a smaller device size and a large air-gap. The rotational speed and the axial position of the rotor are regulated independently based on a vector control algorithm. The inclination and the radial position of the rotor are regulated using P±2 pole algorithm. The designed motor which has an outer diameter of 28 mm and total height of 41 mm can produce a radial force using P±2 pole algorithm, and indicates a possibility of 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) controlled axial gap double stator motor. | |||||

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a robust control strategy to avoid machining chatter in a high-speed machining spindle levitated on active magnetic bearings. Chatter avoidance is an important aspect in machining because chatter limits the material removal rate and inhibits production. A method is implemented which uses µ-synthesis AMB control with a cutting force model in the controller design process. Such an approach causes the controller to stabilize the naturally unstable cutting process, avoiding chatter and resulting in smoother surface finish, longer tool life and increased material removal rate. Stability lobe diagrams are calculated for the new control strategy showing increased critical feed rate and confirmed through numerical simulations. The developed method is implemented experimentally on the high-speed AMB machining spindle. Impulse hammer testing is performed to measure the controlled spindle’s transfer function and evaluate chatter free machining suitability. | |||||

Abstract: This paper suggests a method to control an unbalance vibration of the magnetic bearing by multi-degree of freedom internal model controller which is called Model Bridge Control. This control method can compensate for each control problem, e.g. robust stability and uncertainty compensation, responses, disturbance rejection.

In this paper, a controller design method using a disturbance compensation characteristic of model bridge control is shown. The controller gets possible to control an unbalance forced vibration with the specific frequency by using a disturbance model.

Abstract: This paper introduces the structural design of the permanent magnetic bearing for axial suspension on wind turbine, including the supporting schemes and the selection of the permanent magnetic material. The calcula-tion of the bearing capacity and the stiffness are given, and suitable stiffness can reduce the vibration caused by the changes of the wind load. Experimental comparation of wind turbines starting torque supported by the magnetic bearing and by the mechanicalbearing was carried out. And it is proved that the magnetic bearing can significantly reduce the starting torque of the wind turbine, thereby the starting wind velocity can be also reduced. Meanwhile, the wind turbine can work for a long time without lubrication, which affords lower maintenance costs, reduces the noise and greatly raises the efficiency. | |||||

Based on the analysis of the synthesis mechanism of the beat vibration, this paper investigated the origin of the beat vibration in the magnetic bearing. According to the special electrical and machinery structure of the magnetic bearing, the source and the formation of the two sub-vibrations (the vibration with the same frequency of the rotate speed of the rotor and the vibration with the same frequency of the rotating magnetic field in induction motor) which synthesize the beat vibration were analyzed.

Abstract: In experimental tests of a proto-type 2000L turbo molecular pump suspended by 5-DOF AMBs, complex vibration problems had been met. They were caused by different reasons including rotor bending modes, rotor gyroscopic effects, pump blade modes and a vibration mode created by interaction of the dynamics of the rotor and the pump motor. They influenced the pump stability and had to be considered carefully in AMB controller designs to run the rotor to a target speed of 24000 rpm. Different methods were used to deal with these vibration problems. The gyroscopic effects were dealt with using cross feedback control methods. Other vibrations, including the bending mode vibrations, the pump blade vibrations and so on, were dealt with using phase shaping control methods. Experiment results concerning them were provided. With the suitable controller design and the appropriate consideration of the dynamic problems, the rotor was successfully accelerated to its target speed. | |||||

Abstract: This paper deals with an open-loop characteristic of a magnetically levitated system including flux feedback. In order to design a controller to obtain a good disturbance rejection and to be insensitive to parameter variations, it might be useful to employ a flux feedback loop. The air gap flux which can be sensed by a proper sensor has linear relationship with respect to the change of the current and the air gap. This linear property decreases the inherent nonlinearity of the magnetic suspension system that is caused by the coupling between the electrical actuator and the mechanical plant. Simulation results show that the flux feedback loop makes an improvement of the performance of the magnetic suspension system against the load variations. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on the ongoing construction of a high-speed (30000 rpm) kinetic energy storage system (KESS). The purpose of the device is to function as a power buffer storing up to 1kWh, primarily for utility vehicles in urban traffic. The KESS is connected in series between the primary power source and the tractionmotor of the vehi-cle. It comprises a composite rimof carbon and glass fiber in an epoxymatrix. The power to/from the rotating rim is transferred through an integrated double wound three-phase PM machine. The machine is levitated axially using four units with segmented Halbach arrays in a repulsive con-figuration. Radial centering is achieved through eight separate active electromagnetic actuators controlled by an FPGA. The geometries of the passive thrust units as well as the active actuators were designed using linked CAD and FEM tools controlled by advanced optimization algorithms. The simulated repulsive force from the thrust magnets was verified experimentally. Additionally, the corresponding negative stiffness in radial direction as well as the power loss due to induced eddy currents were simulated. The optimization of the active magnetic bearing (AMB) actuators resulted in a geometry with low resistive power loss, while generating a high current stiffness at the expense of maximum force. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearing (AMB) failure and the ensuing rotor behavior is a very important aspect of AMB safety. A model for this rotor behavior was developed and was used to characterize the severity of rotor delevitation events. The characterization was done by means of severity indicators derived from the rotor behavior within the backup bearings. The indicator is a quantitative value that can be used to compare different delevitation events. The indicator presented in this paper is the non-dimensionalised velocity of the geometric center of the rotor (Vval). This indicator only requires the rotational speed and position data of the rotor to determine the Vval quantity. This ensures that this value can be determined for most current operational systems and on historical data logged from previous rotor delevitation events. In order to validate Vval, a comparison was done between simulated and experimental rotor drops and their associated Vval values. The model used to produce the simulation results is BBSim. Experimental results were obtained on a 4-axis suspended rotor, modified to use rolling element backup bearings. | |||||

Abstract: Present research on fault detection and diagnosis on magnetic bearing systems aims on the diagnosis of the state of single components, such as sensor and actuator faults or fault states of the plant. Although these methods often have the potential to detect more than one fault state, there is no fault detection method allowing the detection of all possible faults . This paper describes aconceptional approach to combine different fault detection methods aiming on a holistic online diagnosis of the active magnetic bearing system consisting of the functional components controller, actuator, plant and sensor. On the example of a centrifugal pump in active magnetic bearings this approach gives the possibility to combine fault detection methods detecting internal faults of the bearing system as well as the determination of the overall system status, e.g., the duty point of the pump, based on the signals of the active magnetic bearing system. This approach allows integrating new functions into the active magnetic bearing system via an enhancement of the software without changing the widely developed hardware of active magnetic bearings. | |||||

Abstract: With a high power active magnetic bearing system, rapid changes in the magnet coil current are achieved by switching a high DC link forcing voltage onto the inductive load for short periods of time using Pulse Width modulation (PWM). In the steady state the on time of the voltage is a very small proportion of the cycle period such thatthe average voltage is sufficient to maintain the DC current through the DC resistance of the load. In some situations where it is necessary to have a large separation between the PWM driving amplifier and the load, the cable between behaves as a badly terminated transmission line. Significant reflections on the PWM pulse waveform are able to cause potentially damaging voltage overshoots up to around twice the original voltage. Conventional source and or load termination impedances would introduce unacceptable power losses. Using filters to limit the bandwidth goingdown the cable is both costly and has broadly similar effect to reducing the forcing voltage. This paper describes tests of a dynamic termination method where most of the power that would otherwise be lost is returned to the source of the DC link, giving dramatic improvement in the waveform quality. | |||||

The axial magnetic bearing with a large axial disk usually limits rotor dynamic performance and makes assembling and disassembling difficult for maintenance work. This paper proposesa novel electromagnet biased integrated radial-axial magnetic bearing without axial disk. The axial magnetic bearing unit in this integrated magnetic bearing utilizes reluctance forces such that the axial disk can be removed from the bearing unit.

Abstract: The stiffness and damping of magnetic bearings play an important role in the stability of high speed rotor system. In order to obtain the reliable and accurate support parameters of magnetic bearing, an identification method based on model updating is proposed in this paper. Successful identification of support parameters is based on an accurate system model. The accurate rotor model is first derived by model updating using frequency response function (FRF) data. Then, the identification of support parameters of magnetic bearings is completed by model updating method based on the unbalance response. Unbalance response of magnetic bearing rotor system with assumed initial support parameters can be calculated by the transfer matrix method. Based on an optimization algorithm, the minimum error between the calculated and measured unbalance response is achieved. The support parameters which were used to calculate the unbalance response are the identified stiffness and damping of magnetic bearings. Finally, the effectiveness and accuracy of the identification method are verified by simulation. | |||||

Abstract: The configuration and working principle of a six-pole heteropolar permanent magnet biased magnetic bearing is introduced. And the mathematical models of the suspension forces are deduced through coordinate transformation. Then the paper studies the performances of the magnetic bearing for various area ratios between the permanent magnetic pole and the electromagnetic pole. The mathematical models are verified by finite element simulation. The results show that the current stiffness error rate between theoretical calculation and finite-element simulation is less than 3%, while the displacement stiffness error rate is much greater. A controller for this magnetic bearing is designed. To confirm the controller is effective, experiments were carried out with the proposed magnetic bearing system. The results all show that the rotor can be suspended steadily and the whole control system has good dynamic and static performance with robustness. Finally, power losses tests were done. As a result, the power losses of proposed six-pole magnetic bearing are only 9.85% of the traditional eight-pole active magnetic bearing for the same bias magnetic flux density. | |||||

Abstract: The vibration control of rotors is usually performed using passive dampers, in layouts where the support of the rotating parts is achieved by rolling-element or hydrodynamic type bearings. Active magnetic bearings could be a promising however they show serious drawbacks, in terms of mass, at least when the generation of strong magnetic forces is required. Electromagnetic dampers seem a valid alternative to viscoelastic/hydraulic dampers and to active magnetic bearings because their simpler architecture, and, if of transformer type, also for the absence of power electronics, position sensors and any fast feedback loop. However transformer eddy current dampers require a constant voltage power supply (usually based on common power electronics) often integrated with active electronics components. To reduce cost, improve the reliability some applications could benefit a simplified system avoiding active components and providing the required energy with an embedded generator. The aim of the present paper is to propose a self-powered damper to fulfil these requirements. A three-phase permanent magnet electric generator (connected to the rotating shaft) generates the required power for the damping device. The generator is connected to the damping circuit by means of suitable impedance and a three-phase rectifier. | |||||

Abstract: In many fields of energy technology the proof of reliability is required for the application of magnetic bearings. The application of active magnetic bearings in turbo machines for power plants is characterized by extreme process and environmental conditions. The parameters varie-gate due to manufacturing tolerances and the influence of specific operation and load conditions of the control loop components of a magnetic bearing. That involves a load-dependent reliabil-ity of the bearing components. Therefore an active magnetic bearing which is under nominal conditions in terms of its function, may fail due to drifts of mechanical, electrical and magnetic parameters. The objective of this project is the reliability analysis of active magnetic bearings considering their nonlinearities. The analysis will be carried out by means of appropriate methods which consider the specific fuzzy parameters compared to conventional approaches. The part failure probability of the several components will be determined by Monte-Carlo-Simulations. The fail-ure probability of the whole system will be summarized by use of a fault tree analysis. Whether any components have to be integrated redundantly/diversely will be determined in the early de-sign process. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents the design of an Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) rotor radial levitation controller using an iterative tuning method developed for the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) design problem. An iterative method is used to find the ideal pair of state and input weights in the LQG objective function that result in the best performance and stability robustness characteristics of the closed-loop AMB system. A search method is used to identify a set of input weight and state weight pairs that result in AMB levitation controllers that satisfy the necessary requirements for digital implementation. Furthermore, the stability and performance requirements from the API 617 and ISO 14839 standards for new compressors with AMB support are included in the controller design process. Finally, the derived LQG rotor levitation controller is implemented on a high speed centrifugal compressor test rig with a rigid rotor. Experimental results are presented and compared to the measurements obtained with a preliminary PID controller. The measured unbalance response and rotor orbit plots demonstrate the benefits of the proposed LQG method. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have been used in many high-speed rotating machinery ap-plications. Because of the nonlinear characteristics of magnetic bearings and complex dynamics of the flexible rotors, the problems of stabilization and disturbance rejection need to be exten-sively addressed for their smooth operation over a wide operating speed range. Conventional controller such as the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) design has played a major role in most AMB related applications. Although it is easy to implement, there exist limitations and drawbacks. The µ -synthesis approach can fulfill the requirement of robust performance, but it relies on the plant and uncertainty models, which are sometimes difficult to acquire for practical systems. This paper explores the use of the characteristic model based all-coefficient adaptive control (ACAC) method to stabilize a flexible rotor AMB system. This new control method does not require an actual model of the system. Both simulation and experimental results have shown its strong potential to perform well in spite of its simplicity. | |||||

Abstract: Robustness to unbalance degradation is examined for a subsea compression application in-volving a hermetically sealed, integrated motor-compressor supported on active magnetic bear-ings. The unique rotordynamic analysis methodology employs induced infinity norm principles to determine whether various limits, such as probe vibration, seal clearances and AMB force capacities, are exceeded for worst case unbalance distributions. The compressor’s acceptability with respect to API unbalance response design criteria is examined. Additional results indicate that, by introducing speed-scheduled synchronous filter control, the machine should be able to handle significant balance degradation (approximately 7.5x the API allowable residual) before reaching the ISO recommended shutdown vibration levels. For this particular design/application, it was determined that, with the nominal feedback con-troller, the unbalance capacity is dictated by the AMB dynamic capacity, not by probe vibration or seal clearance limits. Such knowledge can be vital to the end-user and manufacturer where, if unbalance degradation capacity is less than expected for the particular service, design changes can be made to help ensure that the machine’s desired robustness and service life are achieved. | |||||

The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) to support gas compressor rotors presents an ideal opportunity for the explo-ration of optimal and robust active vibration control algorithms. A notable advantage of AMBs is their ability to generate optimal support stiffness and damping characteristics. Unlike passive me-chanical bearings, the support characteristics of AMBs may be modified over the operating life of the system without any major hardware changes. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the expansion of the stability region for an experimental rotor subject to destabilizing cross-coupled stiffness. A model-based control paradigm was followed to develop nominal and uncertain dy-namic models of the rotor-bearing system. Using m -synthesis several robust controllers were designed and implemented on the MBTRI hardware to investigate their effect on the stability threshold. The best controller established a thirty-six percent increase in the stability threshold over an existing benchmark controller. This represented an increase from fifty-six percent of the maximum achievable stability threshold to seventy-six percent. A damping ratio estimation al-gorithm was used to experimentally evaluate the sensitivity of the various controllers to varying cross-coupled stiffness. | |||||

Abstract: Our group has developed a new conveyer using superconducting levitation. The conveyer is com-posed of a levitated table and a conveying table. The gap between levitated table and conveying table is detected by using a Hall sensor on the superconductor. The position of the table is controlled by us-ing the PD control. In this paper we discuss a superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) with a central superconductor. A central superconductor improves stiffness of each direction. In addition, character-istics of magnetically levitated superconducting conveyer are studied when the levitated table moves in the y direction. | |||||

Abstract: This study is concerned with the compensationof imbalance force existing in a three-pole active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. An adaptive compensation scheme is proposed using the method of immersion and invariance (I&I) control. The main idea of I&I control is to immerse a higher-order system intoa lower-order target system. In this study, the target system will be the three-pole AMB system with known imbalance that is stabilized by an integral sliding mode controller (ISMC). In practical applications, the imbalance force may be unknown and may be changing during operation. The information of imbalance needs to be estimated online in order to realize the ISMC levitation control. To this aim, the adaptive compensation scheme is incorporated into the ISMC controller so that the closed-loop system forms the higher-order system for the design of I&I control. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive compensator for mass imbalance. | |||||

Abstract: In high-speed flywheel energy storage system, the high ratio of the polar to transverse mass moments of inertia of the flywheel rotor and the high operating speed have a great effect on the stability of the flywheel rotor system, traditional decentralized controllers, such as PID, are very difficult to deal with such rotor instability due to significant gyroscopic effect. In order to realize effectively the stability of active magnetic bearings(AMBs) supporting flywheel rotor system with strong gyroscopic effect at high rotating speeds, a new method called modal decoupling control is proposed in this paper based on mathematic model of the AMBs high-speed rigid flywheel rotor system. The principle of the modal decoupling control is introduced, and its ability and effectiveness to control the dynamic characteristics of the AMBs high-speed rigid flywheel rotor system are numerically analyzed and compared with the traditional PID controller. It is shown that the modal decoupling control proposed can separately regulate each mode’ stiffness and damping through decoupling between the conical and the parallel modes, and obviously improve the dynamic behaviors and be capacity of stabilizing the AMBs high-speed rigid flywheel rotor system with strong gyroscopic effect in the high rotating speed region. | |||||

Abstract: An important application area of magnetic bearings is machinery running in vacuum. Examples include vacuum pumps, flywheels and spin wheels for space craft. Here even small rotor losses can overheat the rotor because of the low heat transfer in vacuum. Therefore this project aims at realizing a magnetic suspension with minimal rotor losses. Thus a novel magnetic bearing structure has been developed. It can generate both radial and axial forces and employs a minimal number of poles and soft magnetic composites as iron core material for minimal losses. This paper presents the new bearing structure and a control strategy for it. The designed controller is verified in simulations and first experimental results are presented as well. | |||||

Abstract: This paper briefly describes a novel 1-DOF bearing arrangement with integrated passive electrodynamic dampers. A general problem with passive magnetic bearings is that sufficient damping in the radial direction is difficult to provide, without using additional rubber bushings or squeeze film dampers. Electrodynamic damping schemes are sometimes proposed, but they tend to have either weak or nonlinear properties, or they contribute to additional bearing instability in terms of negative stiffness. The proposed bearing arrangement is inherently stable in terms of positive stiffness in radial direction. For dynamic stability it comprehends short circuit coils with geometries that allow for both damping coefficient and cut-off frequency to be chosen at will. A discussion on alternative coil winding schemes and possible active control is done, and finally some preliminary test results from the first prototype are presented, indicating both a stable and a linear behavior. | |||||

Abstract: Bearingless drives have found their way into several industrial applications such as pumps, fans and chemical process chambers. In contrast to these drives which run at speeds below 15.000rpm, the suitability of bearingless drives for high speed has first been demonstrated with a bearingless disk drive running up to 115.000rpm in previous works by the authors. This drive uses a permanent magnet rotor with a pole number of two in order to constrain iron losses and generate the highest rotor speed with a certain electrical frequency. Other design criteria such as the rotordynamic behaviour, the radial bearing force or the torque capacity, however, might benefit from a higher pole number. Therefore, this paper will present the comparison of a two-pole and a four-pole rotor for the use in a high speed bearingless drive. | |||||

2012 | Bauer, W. and Amrhein, W. | Design Study of Air-Core Coil Winding Topologies for Bearingless Axial-Force/Torque Motors | Proceedings of ISMB13 | ||
Abstract: The Bearingless Axial-Force/TorqueMotor is a Lorentz-Force-Type actuator featuring a com-pact and integrated design using a special permanent magnet excitation system and a slotless air gap winding. The end-windings of the concentric air-core stator coils, shaped in circumferential rotor direction, provide active suspension forces in axial direction. The actuator unifies levitation force and drive torque generation in a single device unit sharing one common winding system. Especially for single-phase motor configurations, the resulting drive topology ensures the tilt sta-bilization of the rotor. In general, only a few air gap winding structures are suitable for proper polyphase drive torque generation without any negative side effects. The present article treats the drive torque and axial force generation mechanisms for Bearingless Axial-Force/Torque Motors and its influences regarding the appearance of tilt torques. As the radial drive stabilization is realized by multiple axial displaced passive magnetic ring bearings, the radial force generation due to a mismatch of the number of rotor pole pairs and the number of stator coils is also signif-icant for drive stability considerations. As conclusion, numerical simulations for different drive configurations will prove for the validity of the presented analytical design framework. | |||||

Abstract: This paper gives a deeper insight in model-based fault detection based on transfer-factor esti-mation on active magnetic bearings. The method aims at performing fault detection and diagnosis at minimal computational efforts. Hence, only a limited number of transfer-factors of the inves-tigated system are considered. These are used as features for the diagnosis and represented by the magnitude and the phase at frequencies showing strong deviations between the examined states. Previously modeled faults are diagnosed by an online-estimation of the transfer-factors and a comparison to reference values. Three algorithms for this fault detection method are de-scribed and compared in detail: Recursive Least Squares (RLS), Least Mean Squares (LMS) and Goertzel-algorithm. For the comparison of the algorithms, their convergence behavior and updat-ing rate are considered as well as the computational and implementation effort. Investigations on a test rig of a centrifugal pump in active magnetic bearings show that the RLS leads to slightly slower convergence with a higher computational effort than the LMS. The Goertzel-algorithm outperforms both in computational effort, but needs several samples for the computation and thus provides a lower updating rate. Based on their findings, the authors assess suitability of the algorithms for fault detection on active magnetic bearings. | |||||

Abstract: Based on rotor dynamics and gyro dynamics, the mathematical model for a vernier gimballing momentum wheel supported by magnetic bearings was established to analyze the forces and torques generated by the wheel body . The static and couple unbalances of the structure are regarded as two main sources causing periodic disturbances to the stability of the system. Since the rotational speed of the rotor is high, the gyroscopic effect is also an important factor causing interference on the stability. Therefore, the effects of disturbances from above are considered to make the mathematical model be closer to the real state. | |||||

Abstract: To increase stiffness and precise rotor positioning of active magnetic bearings (AMB), flux based control algorithms were suggested. However, the typical thickness of air gaps in AMBs is too small to apply conventional magnetic field sensors with a typical thickness of more than 500 µm. Furthermore, the curved surfaces of the sta tor poles require a mechanically flexible sensor design. Here, we propose a flexible Bismuth based Hall sensor with a total thickness of only 80 µm including encapsulation. After wiring th e sensors have a maximum height of 280 µm and could be mounted onto curved surfaces. T he fabricated sensors were characterized and the influence of size, temperature and bending radius on the Hall sensitivity was determined. On a proof-of-concept level we demonstrated the performance of the flexible magnetic field sensors to control an one-axis AMB with a levitating ball. Several algorithms using flux density measurements were tested and compared to conventional control strategies. | |||||

Abstract: Bearingless permanent magnet motors are very compact and favorable for high speed designs. Especially the bearingless slice motor (using a permanent magnet excited rotor disc) features a mechanically simple and very cost effective fully magnetically levitated system by stabilizing some degrees of freedom by permanent magnetic reluctance forces. This work focuses on constructional possibilities to apply the slice rotor principle with its passive stabilization without any permanent magnetsin the rotor part. As a matter of fact, the permanent magnets are necessary and are therefore located in the stator. Possible stator compositions are outlined and separated into homopolar and heteropolar permanent magnet air gap flux types. The definition of performance parameters allows evaluating the operational behavior of the two considered bearingless reluctance slice motor types (one with hompolar and one with heteropolar air gap flux distribution). The composition, optimization and construction of a prototype are outlined in the last section. Measurements are conducted to show the proper functionality of the bearingless reluctance slice motor prototype. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents the concept of a novel displacement sensor based on resonant inductive coupling. Resonant inductive coupling uses two coils or LC circuits similarly to an electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic induction, that is the principle of transformer, is also an interaction of magnetic fields in usually akilohertz-range. It is used for power transfer and operated with a small gap. A power transmissionwith rather larger gap is possible by using a megahertz-range resonance. Resonant inductive coupling is actively studied in the field of wireless power transfer recently. Meanwhile, some AMB systems need a displacement sensor operating with a large air gap. Thus, the resonant inductive coupling is applied to a displacement sensor. It can achieve high resolution (sub-mm) over a very large distance (10cm). In this paper, the principle of resonant inductive coupling is explained. Several basic results are shown, and these results are evaluated as a displacement sensor. | |||||

Abstract: An energy storage flywheel was developed in 2005 to provide ride-through power for industrial UPS applications, and its application was expanded to provide regeneration power for mobile cranes. The flywheel, which operates in a vacuum, is supported by Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) to minimize bearing losses, and has a high power motor/generator coupled to an efficient power conversion module. The flywheel can maintain energy for emergency use by holding at full speed or can be cycled up and down in speed to absorb and discharge energy rapidly. Over 400 Flywheel systems have been delivered and are operating in the field since product release. In addition to the AMB, the Flywheel system uses a backup bearing system to support the rotor; 1- when the system is not in operation, including shipping; 2- during low speed safe spin-downs when external power is disconnected, 3- during intermittent overload events (only expected in crane systems as a result of crane motion) and 4- during high speed spin-downs when system events/failures occur. Low speed spin-downs typically start at 4,000 rpm in crane systems and can happen multiple times a day, while UPS systems typically start at 6,000-8,000 rpm and may only happen once a year. Overloadevents in crane systems can happen at any speed in the operation range of 10,000 rpm to18,000 rpm and last for up to 5 seconds. The backup bearing system of every flywheel is tested with a series of backup bearing drop tests culminating with a drop and spin down from full speed. Additionally, several engineering flywheels have been used extensively for testing and development of the backup bearing system. The original system was capable of three 2.75 hour spin downs from 36,000 rpm and developed with the UPS system requirements in mind. Methodology and results for this test program were described in [1] and [2]. Recent testing has validated the system for use in crane system with added low speed spin-downs and momentary overload conditions at high speeds. In addition, incremental changes to the backup bearing system have resulted in extending the capability to eight 2.75 hour spin downs from 36,000 rpm for UPS applications. These changes are the result of continued analysis of backup bearing operation during spin-down. This ongoing test program is reported here – including a discussion of some of the test results. | |||||

Abstract: The mathematical model of components in an active magnetic bearing system plays important roles in system designing and adjusting. The linearized models are widely applied; however, sometimes these models are not precise enough. In this paper, a nonlinear modeling method based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) is proposed. The proposed model treats the rotor acceleration as a nonlinear function of the rotor displacement, rotor velocity and the coil currents; the model parameters are determined by a training procedure based on observed samples, no mechanism, computational or empirical models are needed in the modeling procedure. The proposed method is validated by a series of experiments. | |||||

Abstract: Calculation of eddy current loss is an essential job in magnetic thrust bearings(MTBs) design in specific applications. In this work, a comprehensive model of eddy current loss in MTBs is presented. In this model, a fractional-order dynamic model is applied. The model parameters are estimated by heuristic optimization algorithm. The close loop model is constructed with the dynamic current stiffness and displacement stiffness. In this model, the load variation and sensor noise are considered. The eddy current loss brought by load variation and sensor noise is analyzed then. A pulse width modulation(PWM) switching power amplifiers(SPA) is also modeled and the switching ripple current(SRC) is calculated by finite element analysis(FEA). This result is applied to calculate the loss brought by SRC. According to the simulation results, it is concluded that the heat by SRC is dominant in common applications. | |||||

Abstract: Over the past decade, there has been a rising need to develop more efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly means of short term energy storage. Flywheel energy storage systems store kinetic energy by continuously spinning a compact rotor in a low-friction environment. Magnetic bearing suspension systems are desirable for this application since they significantly increase efficiency, reduce waste heat when operated in vacuum and reduce power requirements for the electronics. A demonstration flywheel energy storage test rig under development at the University of Virginia will use a five-axis active magnetic bearing support system. This paper discusses the design and analysis procedure of the flywheel magnetic suspension system. The magnetic suspension system will be controlled by a µ-synthesis controller, with an adaptive auto-balancing algorithm. Preliminary calculations are performed to determine the various design parameters such as nominal air gap, number of coil turns required, and stator/rotor diameter and thickness using linear magnetic circuit models. Finally, a 3-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted with commercial finite element software to verify the calculated design parameters. The flux path was visualized for both the thrust a nd radial magnetic bearings and important parameters such as load capacity, flux density, inductance and slew rate were calculated. | |||||

Abstract: It is known that the basic component of forces, which affects electromagnetic bearings (EMB), is centrifugal forces produced by the unbalanced rotor. The unbalanced forces must be reduced to the allowed level for the entire frequency band, including critical frequencies (GOST ISO 11342). For effective balancing, balancing weights shall be installed in accordance with actual rotor bending modes. Therefore, under research and development work carried out in JSC "Afrikantov OKBM" (Russia) activities are performed aimed at studying possibilities for balancing the flexible vertical rotor using EMBs in the machine. During this work, the special BALANS code and procedure for balancing the flexible rotor using EMBs were developed. At a small test facility having the vertical rotor [1, 2], experimental investigations were carried out to balance the flexible rotor using EMBs. Based on preliminary results, it is possible to balance the flexible vertical rotor using EMB without balancing the rotor in factory conditions. In 2011, JSC "Afrikantov OKBM" carried out work to balance the vertical rotor using electromagnetic suspension in the large test facility, i.e. in the Turbomachine (TM) Rotor Scale Model (RSM). | |||||

2012 | Toh, C.S., Chen, S.L. and Juang, D.P. | Development of a Ring-type Flywheel Battery System for Storage of Renewable Energy | Proceedings of ISMB13 | ||
Abstract: In this study, a small scale prototype of a ring-type flywheel battery system is designed and fabricated. The system consists of 5-DOF magnetic bearing and a built-in motor/generator. The magnetic bearing is of hybrid type, with passive axial magnetic bearing and active radial magnetic bearing. For the passive axial magnetic bearing, a pair of Halbach arrays of permanent magnets are arranged vertically to support the weight of rotor and flywheel. For the active radial magnetic bearing, a set of Halbach array is placed on the rotor side, which will correspond to a coil set on the stator side. The active magnetic bearing can produce both attraction and repulsion forces on the radial direction, depending on the direction of the coil currents. When driven by an active feedback control system operating in conjunction with a position sensor, the actuator force can be used to balance the lateral forces coupled from the passive axial magnetic bearing and to achieve stable levitation. In the radial magnetic bearing, the design of eight-pole and differential winding mode are applied, which can result in a linear force-current relation. Hence, the system can be modeled by a simple linear time-invariant system. For robustness, the controller is designed by integral sliding mode control (ISMC) to overcome the effects of uncertainty and to achieve good steady-state accuracy. Numerical simulation results verify the effectiveness of the controller. To further validate the efficiency of the proposed controller, the experiments of the prototype are also performed. | |||||

Abstract: The paper proposes a pair of novel permanent-magnet-biased axial hybrid magnetic bearings, which are assembled at ends of a compressor spindle. The outer diameter of rotor is minimized to reduce the wind loss, which is regarded as the main loss in a typical axial magnetic bearing for a compressor. The bias magnetic flux, provided by an axial polarized permanent magnet ring, diminishes the loss further. The paper firstly introduces the structure and the working principle of the new axial hybrid magnetic bearing system. The cooling holes are aimed to improving the cooling capability without degrading the load capacity. Then, the axial magnetic attraction forces of axial magnetic bearings in pairs, under the condition without the cooling holes, are calculated by 2-D Finite Element Method (FEM) and 3-D FEM respectively. Additionally, another 3-D model is set up to investigate the influence of the designed cooling holes on the axial force. The coupling of the magnetic force and the flux density limit of iron cores are analyzed. The numerical results indicate that the proposed structure of the axial magnetic bearing system is feasible. | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents a hysteresis self-bearing motor along with its nonlinear analysis. In this work we introduced a new type of self-bearing motor with segmented stator. The major advantages of this stator are: easy and low cost manufacturing, higher filling factor and shorter magnetic path for the stator. We tested the self-bearing concept successfully with this new configuration. Hysteresis motors are suitable for high speed application since their rotor has neither permanent magnets nor any winding or mechanical features. We used FEA analysis to check the feasibility of proposed idea. Then we used Chua’s hysteresis model to simulate the nonlinear behavior of this system. | |||||

Abstract: A small, thin, maglev ventricular assist device, which can be implanted under the thorax muscle layer like a pacemaker, has been developed. A cascade pump, which has inlet and outlet ports in the same plane and a radial type self - bearing motor are adopted to reduce the axial thickness of the device. The radial self - bearing motor is using the passive stability to restrict the impeller movement in the axial direction and its inclination. We evaluated the fluid force acted on the levitated impeller by using the computational fluid dynamics analysis and restoring force and torque by using the magnetic field analysis. Also, an axial hydrodynamic bearing is developed to avoid the impeller contact on the casing when the levitated impeller received a large disturbance. Finally, a prototype pump is developed and evaluated its levitation and pump performance. The prototype pump was levitated and rotated up to a rotating speed of 2,600 rpm successfully. The target performance of a flow rate of 2 L /min against a head pressure of 100 mmHg is achieved with a rotating speed of 2,000 rpm. The maximum oscillation amplitude and the total power consumption with the target performance were 17 µm and 4.5 watts. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMB) are an essential key technology in modern power plant concepts. The application of AMBs in turbo machines (steam turbines, cooling pumps and compressors) is characterized by extreme process and environmental conditions like high temperatures, corrosive fluids and gases. Especially the use of organic materials limits the insulation level of electromagnetic actuators. Currently the allowed maximum continuous temperature of coils and laminated cores is 160C. Known solutions like ceramic insulation systems allow actuator temperatures up to 450C. But their production is complex and the specific actuator size increases compared to conventional insulated actuators. The development of new surface technologies and advances in material science allow new basic approaches for insulations and thereby for High Temperature Active Magnetic Bearings (HTAMBs). For instance the use of the physical vapor deposition technology (PVD) allows low cost coatings with thicknesses of only a few micrometers. Furthermore, the fusion of AMBs with catcher bearings (CB) to an integrated unit is advantageous for a compact machine design. It is one objective to place the bearing units close to the process section, if appropriate into the process section. So the CBs also have to fulfil their functions under extreme conditions. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper a new Permanent Magnets (PMs) bearing is presented. The device is composed of a rotor capable to levitate at a short distance from a dedicated stator. The magnetic suspension is achieved by proper configurations of PMs arranged on both the stator and the rotor. The device is characterized by intrinsic instability and passive stabilization is attempted exploiting eddy currents on a conducting sheet surrounding the stator magnets. The system has been simulated by means of a dedicated numerical tool capable to take into account the effects of the magneto-mechanical coupling. In particular, the coupled problem has been integrated by means of a prediction-correction nested scheme. The simulation activity has produced some interesting results, that are here extensively discussed. More specifically, it has been shown that the stability with respect to the center of mass translation can be passively obtained, if the rotations are actively prevented. An idea of an active stabilizing system for the rotations, exploiting the results of the simulation is finally briefly described. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearings can not only solve the bearing wear and life problems but also reduce the loss and noise of bearing. However, the strong disturbance and noise from the system affects the control behavior. Based on the Kalman filter the influence of noise will be reduced. But the strong nonlinear and uncertainty of parameter of the magnetic bearings make it difficult to establish the estimation / prediction equation in Kalman filter. This paper presents a design method of system estimation / prediction for Kalman filter with using soft computing. Firstly, linear local model for axial magnetic bearing overall system will be deduced. Then a few system parameters, which is relative with nonlinear and uncertainty, will be obtained by a intelligence function, which uses soft computing algorithm as system identification. Finally, the identified system parameters will be used in state equation in Kalman filter. It aims at better filter performance and state estimation than the conventional linear Kalman filter. | |||||

The mortaring will be used on the interface between rotor and air gap as well as on the symmetry edges of the motor, since only a part of the machine is considered in the simulation due to motor symmetry. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are widely applied to support high-speed rotating machineries, especially in special environment. Identification is a useful method to obtain the mathematical model of an AMB system. Frequency domain subspace identification method (FDSIM) is an attractive identification technique. However, in practice one usually expects that the identified model possesses some properties, for example stability. FDSIM cannot ensure these expected properties. This paper firstly proposes a novel subspace identification method, FDSIM-lamda. This method can guarantee that the resultant model possesses predefined poles. Moreover, an optimization procedure is introduced to obtain the optimal poles based on FDSIM-lamda, the initial estimation of system poles and constraints on the system poles. The proposed method is then applied to identify an AMB system and validated by the experiments on a real AMB system. | |||||

Abstract: The optimization of stiffness of a permanent magnetic single ring bearing is presented in this paper. This is achieved by only changing the magnetization pattern. More precisely, a homogeneous magnetization is replaced by a rotating magnetization with two magnetic poles, leading to a 3.7-fold improvement in stiffness. Usually, such a rotating magnetization is realized by stacking several homogeneously magnetized rings with different magnetization direction, which is referred to as Halbach stacking. Our approach was to realize a continuously rotating magnetization pattern in one ring. In order to achieve the maximum possible stiffness for the given bearing dimensions, the optimization of the magnetization process is crucial and also presented in the paper. | |||||

It incorporates the design of the drive system, the magnetic bearing system, as well as the composite rotor.

Abstract: The presented work handles the compensation of unbalance forces for a 6/4-Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM), which generate significant radial magnetic forces in an eccentric motor shaft position. When the rotor is operating e.g. in its principal axis of inertia, these forces must be compensated by the bearings. This is of major interest for long term storage Flyweels where bearing efficiency is a key factor for the overall system performance. Due to the back electromotive force (BEMF) in high speed operation, precise current control is a major challenge. Hence a combination of current and fluxlinkage control is used to minimize the generated radial forces. It can be used for low and high speed applications. For the observation of fluxlinkage two different methods are described. The functionallity is shown by means of simulations and measurement. | |||||

Abstract: This paper deals with topology optimization of the rotor of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). For isotropic materials the constant stress disc (CSD) is the best choice to maximize energy density. Modern FESS are manufactured of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), due to their high specific strength. Because of the transverse isotropic material description the optimal rotor topology changes. A genetic algorithm (GA) for nonlinear integer problems will be used to find the best rotor structure which can be manufactured within one filament winding process. | |||||

2014 | van Rensburg, J.J., Vanek, C. and Worlitz, F. | Backup Bearing Modelling for Turbo Machines with High Axial and Radial Loads | Proceedings of ISMB14 | ||
Abstract: The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in turbo machines is an active research topic and the implementation in industrial applications is becoming commonplace. This is especially true when investigating the backup bearings (BBs) for high speed rotors with high axial and radial loads. In AMB supported turbo machines there usually are high axial process forces present, and should the axial AMB (AAMB) fail, these forces need to be supported by the axial backup bearings (ABBs). In order to design appropriate BBs the movement of the rotor and the associated forces produced during a rotor delevitation event (RDE) is of critical importance. These forces should be determined using a rotor delevitation model that includes the forces on all the backup bearings and the effect that these forces have on the rotor stability. This paper presents a short overview of various types of ABBs in the literature and the associated models for these BBs. The second part of the paper presents a model for a novel BB currently under construction at the IPM, and how this model is integrated into the rotor delevitation model BBSim [1]. The third part of the paper presents some results obtained using the proposed ABB model. The results investigate the effect that the radial distance where contact occurs and the axial force present on the rotor has on the RDE severity based on the Vval values. | |||||

Abstract: Long term analysis at ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co. KG showed that bearing failures are responsible for 90% of compact fan breakdowns. A magnetically levitated impeller has no contact with the stator and therefore the life expectancy can be essentially increased. This paper presents the design of a magnetically levitated fan. To meet the low-cost requirement, passive magnetic bearings (PMBs) are used to stabilize the radial and tilt deflections of the rotor. By applying an optimized viscoelastic support to the stator, sufficient damping is introduced to the passively stabilized degrees of freedom. The optimization of the stiffness and damping is discussed and the design of the key components, namely the PMB, the active magnetic bearing (AMB) and the passive damping device, is described. Finally the built prototype and measurements are presented. | |||||

Abstract: This paper represents the research finding of levitation and rotation control on bearingless motor with rectified circuit coil. Rectified circuit coil is functioned as transmitting and receiving coil of wireless electric power transmission, and supplies direct current to rotor coils. Rotor coils are used as rotor magnets not using permanent magnets. Even if magnetic force of magnet is strong, normal force will not be generated if magnets are horizontally configured on straight line. So as to generate vertical axial force, the tip form of rotor and stator is made to incline and levitation force (vertical axial force) is acquired using this inclination. | |||||

Abstract: The Bearingless Axial-Force/Torque Motor is an air-core coil motor, that can generate axial forces and drive torques concurrently using a common stator winding system. The radial suspension and the tilting stabilization of the bearingless drive is realized by passive repulsive permanent magnetic ring bearings. The end-windings of the concentric, non-overlapping stator coils create axial directed levitation forces, provided that a non-vanishing common-mode current component is present. In contrast to the existing alternating field motor topology, the proposed redesign features a rotating field motor structure for constant, rotor-angle independent drive torque generation. The current investigation concentrates on the verification of the drive parameters via simple and robust measurements. A presentation of the functional prototype concludes the article. | |||||

Abstract: Passive magnetic bearings or hybrid passive magnetic bearings are commonly built up with Sm-Co or with Nd-Fe-B magnets. One of the most important item of those magnets is it’s homogeneity in flux density distribution and the precise angularity. A miss-match would cause an undesired displacement. It may therefore be very important to measure these homogeneity’s and angular deviation very precisely. Some application call for a higher temperature, thus a need of higher remanence Br is inevitable and in some cases the temperature coefficient Tk of remanence Br is also of importance. This may be achieved by applying the Grain Boundary Diffusion GBD. In the following paper we will give an overview of the current development to ensure this future demand. A variation of parameter studies will give an overview of the main influencing factors which act on the bearing forces and stiffness. | |||||

2014 | Poltschak, F. | Active Reduction of Bearing Forces of Short Stroke Linear Actuators | Proceedings of ISMB14 | ||
Abstract: Linear magnetic actuators are used in industry for a wide area of applications. In order to reach high values for the axial thrust force, the mover commonly features a permanent magnet excitation. Thus, in combination with a slotted stator layout, these actuators exhibit a high destabilizing stiffness in the direction perpendicular to the direction of motion which has to be compensated by the linear bearings. This paper introduces a linear short stroke actuator with an integrated active bearing force compensation to minimize the forces acting on the mechanical bearings. The potential and limits of a bearing force compensation is analyzed based on a short stroke linear actuators with an E-shaped stator layout. It is outlined how far bearing forces can be compensated even for simple actuator layouts. Especially for linear drives oscillating with a high speed this compensation can significantly reduce wear and thus improve lifetime and efficiency as well as reduce the size of the mechanical bearings. | |||||

Abstract: When Earnshaw stated his theorem in 1839, it did not seem possible to levitate objects in static magnetic fields. 100 years later Braunbeck 1939 was able to show mathematically that levitation is actually possible in unvarying magnetic fields for diamagnetic materials. Today levitating toys based on weakly diamagnetic graphite and permanent magnets are available on the market. Some other materials like superconductors or moving conductors have properties that to a much higher extent resemble those of diamagnets, and these may also levitate in a static magnetic field. Levitating experimental full scale trains based on both of these effects exist today. In this paper the most important technical achievements regarding electrodynamic levitation will be reviewed, dating from 1922 and on, with particular focus on rotating bearings and demonstrated levitating prototypes. | |||||

Abstract: Magnetic bearings continue to contribute to the development of ventricular assist artificial heart pumps. This paper describes the magnetic suspension for a unique prototype axial flow pump designed for approximately 6 l/min at 100 mm Hg performance with an operating speed of approximately 7,000 rpm. The integrated magnetic suspension design provides a direct non-contact blood flow path through the pump with no obstructions which might create low flow areas and thrombosis (blood clots). The magnetic suspension is a combination of permanent magnets (PMs) and active magnetic bearings (AMBs). There are two radial AMBs which support the four degrees of freedom at the ends of the axial pump impeller and an axial PM thrust bearing. The axial PM bearing supports the direction of the largest fluid force on the impeller. A major objectives of artificial hearts is to have extremely low power consumption. Thus the integrated PM and AMB suspension system has an operating magnetic suspension power of approximately 2 watts. The design, numerical modeling, and testing of the magnetic suspension system to support the fluid loads and the g loads is described in the paper. | |||||

Abstract: The equivalent stiffness and the equivalent damping are the important and commonly used parameters for representing the support characteristic of the Active Magnetic Bearing(AMB). A method for measuring the equivalent stiffness and the equivalent damping is proposed with parameter identification via the multi-frequency excitation. The parameter identification is based on the multi-degree of freedom(DOF) rotor model, not the single DOF model, which can not be suitably applied to the multi-DOF AMB-rotor system. Additionally, the Schroeder Phased Harmonic Sequences(SPHS) are applied to generate the signal for the multi-frequency excitation. SPHS can achieve the lowest peak value by means of appropriate selection for the relative phasing of each frequency component, so that the possibility of the rotor vibration exceeding clearances of AMB and the magnetic force reaching saturation is minimized. Finally, the experiments indicate that the proposed method can efficiently reduce the peak value for the superimposed multi-frequency excitation and correctly identify the equivalent stiffness and equivalent damping of the AMB-rotor system. Keywords: active magnetic bearing, multi-frequency excitation, Schroeder phased harmonic sequences, equivalent stiffness, equivalent damping | |||||

Abstract: The disadvantages of disposable centrifugal blood pumps (DCBPs) are the high cost of the disposable pump head due to the use of rare earth magnets and the complex-shaped secondary flow channel due to the space allocated for the magnetic coupling. In order to overcome these problems a permanent magnet free bearingless motor for DCBPs with a smooth secondary flow channel has been developed. The radial position and rotational speed of the rotor are actively controlled, and the axial position and tilt angle of the rotor are passively stabilized by a magnetic reluctance force. Results of magnetic field FEM analysis showed that the proposed bearingless motor has an axial stiffness of 3.50 N/mm and a tilt stiffness of 0.87 Nm/rad. In an experiment, the power consumption of the prototype was less than 30 W without load at a rotational speed of 3000 rpm. | |||||

Abstract: This paper discusses new results and improvements on the sensorless control of a permanent magnet biased three phase radial active magnetic bearing (AMB), which are also known as hybrid magnetic bearings (HMB). Self-sensing methods offer cost potentials because of a more simple bearing system architecture, but show lower performance in accuracy and bandwidth compared to external position sensors. Thus, making selfsensing technologies competitive to systems with position sensors is a broad field of research and as well a goal of this paper. The proposed sensorless method is based on inductance measurement by voltage pulse injection. Applying an oversampling strategy for current slope measurement reduces the noise of the sensorless obtained rotor position significantly. Timing limitations and operational bandwidth can be improved by utilizing alternative voltage pulse sequences. Further, variations of the permanent magnet bias flux of the HMB prototype are investigated to show the influences on the sensorless rotor position detection method and limitations for applications. | |||||

Abstract: This paper concerns null-flux, centering electrodynamic bearings with an internal rotor made of permanent magnets creating a multipole radial magnetic field and with an external airgap wounded conductor attached to a yoke. The inclusion of a ferromagnetic yoke in front of the permanent magnets has the two following effects. On the one hand, it increases the magnetic flux density in the airgap and the magnitude of the centering Lorentz forces between the rotor and the stator of the device. This is positive since the stiffness associated with the centering force of the bearing increases too. On the other hand, it also induces a negative stiffness due to the reluctant force between the yoke and the magnets usually referred to as the unbalanced magnetic force. The goal of this paper is to investigate about the gain in stiffness and performance associated with the presence of a ferromagnetic yoke in multipole electrodynamic bearings. To this purpose, a method is exposed to evaluate the stiffness and stability of the bearing objectively using a root-loci plot. The results are based on a 2-D analytical model of electrodynamic bearings which is briefly presented in the paper. It is shown that in some cases, the magnetic permeability of the yoke has a very low impact on the bearing performance. | |||||

This paper compares two bearingless slice machines, conventional permanent magnet bearingless slice machine and fault-tolerant permanent magnet bearingless slice machine, from fault-tolerant capability, suspension and drive performance points of view. Due to introduction of fault-tolerant stator structure, a optimization method for reduction of total harmonic distortion(THD) of back-EMF and electromagnetic coupling between different phases is proposed. Then, some relevant performance comparison, such as fault-tolerant performance, suspension performance as well as drive torque performance, is analyzed by finite element analysis.

Abstract: In this paper a nonlinear modeling approach is proposed to operate magnetic bearings above the linear range and near the material saturation point. The goal is to get higher load capacity from an existing AMB system by just changing the software. In order to do this, the system should be operated in the nonlinear region of the magnetization curve and therefore should be modeled nonlinearly. Simulation results show approximately twice the force capability. The controller designed using this approach has a much better transient response and domain of attraction. | |||||

Abstract: This paper explores recent material development for Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) which are based on pure iron metal powders combined with inorganic resistive coatings. SMC components are manufactured by compaction in a shaped tool followed by heat-treatment of the component for stress relaxation and to reach optimal magnetic and mechanical performance. The recently developed Somaloy(R) 5P SMC materials are presented and compared to former technology. The unique combination of material properties and manufacturing process is here concluded to enable possibilities to realize compact and efficient high-frequency electromagnets, a technique that can be an interesting opportunity for large volume, cost efficient magnetic bearings and bearingless applications. | |||||

Abstract: This paper proposes a global harmonic analysis of a multiphase bearingless PM-motor topology to determine the radial force by considering normal and tangential field components. This allows establishing the semi-analytical expressions of the radial force considering the location of field origin. The accuracy of the model is verified by full FEM model using a statistic approach. The semi-analytic model allows predicting the force waveforms according t the stator-rotor topology. The analysis of two specific topologies is performed and highlights the origin of force ripples. The fastness of this semi-analytical model makes it suitable to implement in a design optimization process. | |||||

Abstract: We have designed, built and tested a magnetically suspended reaction sphere with one-axis hysteresis drive (1DMSRS) in the Precision Motion Control Lab at MIT. This project is aiming at two goals: (a) exploring the possible design of a magnetically suspended reaction sphere for small spacecraft’s attitude control; and (b) evaluating the performance of a hysteresis motor for the reaction wheel/sphere application. The 1D-MSRS is a motor with spherical rotor, which is magnetically suspended in all translational directions, and is driven by hysteresis motor about vertical axis. For the suspension of the sphere, single dimensional magnetic levitation in vertical direction and bearingless motor around the rotor are combined. An equivalent circuit model of the hysteresis motor is used to analyze the motor’s dynamic behavior. Good agreements between computed and measured motor performance validates the model, which provides a useful simulation tool for further MSRS modeling and control. Test results of the 1D-MSRS show that a starting torque of 8.15 mNm is achieved at 0.7 A zero-peak excitation current, and with this excitation the sphere can run up to 12,000 rpm synchronously in lab with the existence of air drag. | |||||

Abstract: The auxiliary bearing is one of the important parts for the active magnetic bearing (AMB). A new auxiliary bearing design with no lubrication is proposed in this paper. This auxiliary bearing is composed of angular contact ceramic ball bearing. Two pairs of bearing will be distributed on both ends of the rotor. Each pair of bearing arrangement is face to face. Oil or grease will not be applied in this auxiliary bearing. But dry lubrication with MoS2 will be used in this bearing. This auxiliary bearing will be applied in the helium blower of 10MW high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR-10). Oil or grease can’t be used in the primary loop of the HTR-10. The auxiliary bearing is used to support the blower rotor when the AMB fails to work. It must support the dropping rotor and bear the great impact force and friction heat. It is difficult to analyze the falling course of the rotor. There are two difficult problems to solve for the design of auxiliary bearing, including great impact force and friction heat. The preliminary analysis of the rotor was done. The impact force of the auxiliary bearing was computed for the axial and radial impact load by the finite element method. The temperature field will be analyzed and studied also in this paper. The auxiliary bearing’s life will be evaluated. The scheme of auxiliary bearing and the simulation results offer the important theoretical base for this new auxiliary bearing style, and offer the protector design of the helium blower with AMB for HTR-10. | |||||

Abstract: It could be very difficult to find an acceptable feedback path for coupled differential equations like a FIVE degree of freedom (DOF) AMB system. This paper describes a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) approach on this problem. Due to the time variant gyroscopic part of the AMB system equation the controller could only be optimized for a specific angular velocity. For this reason a time variant state feedback is developed and added to the LQG controller in a way that the system is nearly equal for all angular velocities. The feedback matrix which is the result of the LQG problem uses all feedback terms. Compared to a decentralized controller which only uses the diagonal terms, the LQG method also uses the cross feedback terms which are able to provide instability. After developing the LQG method was compared to a decentralized PID controller. | |||||

Abstract: Energy storage flywheels are important for energy recycling applications such as cranes, subway trains. In a petroleum field, a drilling platform runs with big load variation. A vertical flywheel energy storage system had been tested to stabilize the load fluctuation and proved its effectiveness. To improve bearing life and reliability, a new flywheel bearing system was designed. The key was the use of hybrid bearings including an axial permanent magnetic bearing (PMB), a lower end ball bearing and an upper end active magnetic bearing (AMB). The design effectively combined advantages of the different bearings. The original upper ball bearing was replaced with the AMB to avoid the use of a lubrication system for it and improve the damping ability for the rotor vibration modes. The vibration mode and the harmonic response were provided in the rotor dynamic analysis for the new flywheel rotor. The analysis results proved that the new rotor structure and the AMB design were appropriate. | |||||

Abstract: Synchronous vibration caused by rotor imbalance is an obvious vibration problem in rotating machinery. Since active magnetic bearing has been proved to be an effective approach to solve this problem, many researchers have proposed various methods to reduce synchronous vibration and those methods can be classified into two categories: model-based method and mode-lfree method. In the paper, we use a model-free method, iterative learning control (ILC) and a model-based adaptive forced balancing methods (MBAFB) to attenuate synchronous vibration respectively and then compare their performances in several aspects. The results of this paper can provide references for the users to choose an appropriate unbalance control algorithm. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings offer many advantages compared to conventional bearings. But due to economic reasons their field of application is relatively small. Self-sensing magnetic bearings can contribute to a significant decrease of the system costs, of course at limited accuracy in position detection compared to systems with sensors. The later on described INFORM method is one approach to self-sensing magnetic bearings. The position depending reluctance is measured through high frequent voltage injections and the resulting current slope. This paper discusses how different evaluation methods capable of calculating the current slope from the raw measurement data, differ in sensitivity and noise rejection. Therefore first the theoretical background of the used self-sensing method is explained. Next the error propagation of different evaluation methods is analysed and finally compared to measurements. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, substrates of eddy current sensor were composed by silver films and glass ceramic disks, all of these can resist high temperature . The thin silver films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on machinable glass ceramic at room temperature. Variations of sputtering power, bios voltage and power density were carried out for each deposition, then parts of as-deposited samples were subjected to annealing at 600 ? within a vacuum chamber. Structural properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was shown that structural properties had a strong dependency on sputtering power and annealing temperature. Electrical contact resistance measured by a four point probe instrument was directly affected by the thickness of films. It was also found that the film conductivity, especially in thinner films, was improved by the increasing grain size. Further more, the film adhesion was observed by scratch tests experiment. Finally, the subsequent processes of high temperature eddy current sensor were introduced. | |||||

Abstract: In order to make the AMB system satisfied the high energy-efficiency demands, the nonlinear behavior of H-bridge inverter, which is a power amplifier for AMB system, is studied in this paper. The discrete mapping model of the H-bridge inverter is established with some improvement using stroboscopic method. Based on this model, the dynamic evolution process of the inverter from stable state to chaos is directly exhibited, and the stable variation ranges of feedback gain and coil inductances are determined. Furthermore, a new simulation nonlinear model for an AMB system based on nonlinear H-Bridge inverter amplifier is set up, the influence of H-bridge inverter’s nonlinear behavior on the entire AMB system with two alternate change parameters is investigated. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the existence of chaos phenomenon in AMB system and provide a stable range for AMB coil and control system design. The new AMB system model may have some benefits to the study of chaos control method for avoiding bifurcation and chaos phenomenon in AMB system. | |||||

Abstract: Nowadays the High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) is developed widely over the world. A helium turbine of a 10 MW HTGR test module reactor with the core made of spherical fuel elements is under research at the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University in China. In HTGR, the magnetic bearings are widely applied, where the rotating machineries are running under highly pure helium environment. Compared with conventional bearings, Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) possess several attractive advantages, such as contact-free, no-lubricating and active damping vibration. The sensors are the key components of the AMBs system and are responsible for measuring the position and movement of the rotor, the operating temperature and so on. In order to operate the sensors successfully, a stable and efficient excitation source is needed. The paper will present the design, simulation and test of Class AB and Class D type power amplifier excitation sources for the sensors of the AMBs system. | |||||

Abstract: A 1 kW-hr (3.6 MJ) energy storage flywheel with a design operating speed of 40,000 rpm and an inside-out flywheel has been designed and optimized. It is supported in two thrust and two radial active magnetic bearings. The purpose of this paper is to present the active magnetic bearing system modeling including the magnetic analysis. At the design stage, there are two ways to evaluate the magnetic bearing properties: linear circuit model or finite element model. The linear circuit models are simple lumped mass models. The finite element model discretizes the bearing geometry and the surrounding space and requires a great deal more work. There are not many full 3-D finite element magnetic bearing systems that have been fully compared to the equivalent linear circuit model. There are legitimate questions about accuracy of magnetic bearing modeling results. This paper considers these two approaches to compare the results for a realistic energy storage flywheel design. If the differences are large, it is expected that the 3-D finite element model is more likely to be accurate. This paper documents the differences for the flywheel magnetic bearing designs. The linear circuit model prediction of axial force capacity was 17% lower and the prediction of coil inductance was 8% lower than the predictions from 3-D finite element model. The linear circuit model of the radial bearing underestimated the force capacity by 14% and underestimated the inductance by 8.5% when compared to the 3D finite element model. Values were also compared for the open loop stiffness, current gain and force slew rate for both bearing designs. These relatively large differences in magnetic bearing performance parameters obtained between the linear circuit model and the 3-D finite element model, shows that the linear circuit model is not very accurate. Thus, the concern is that designing and optimizing a complex magnetic bearing supported device requires 3-D finite element modeling at the design stage. The flywheel has not been constructed and the magnetic bearings are thus not available for testing. It is hoped that this can be future work. | |||||

Abstract: Rotating machinery covers a broad range of industrial applications. Consequently, unexpected failures may lead to suddenly manufacturing break-off involving high maintenance costs. The most common faults in such machines introduce anisotropy to the system causing changes in its modal parameters and increasing the response backward component. Modal analysis methods can be used to identify changes in the machine behavior and foresee incipient faults. This paper presents the time domain Multiple Output Backward Autoregression (MOBAR) method and discusses its advantages over frequency domain methods on field tests in industry. For the MOBAR method, a tuned non-synchronous excitation called blocking test is applied to the shaft using a magnetic actuator, and when the excitation is turned off, the decay response is used to estimate natural frequencies of the system and the corresponding modal damping. The changing of these parameters can be used to predict system failures. To demonstrate the usability of electromagnetic actuators to apply this method for fault diagnosis and identification, a case study is presented in which the directional coordinates modal parameters are identified for a rotor supported by journal bearings using the MOBAR technique. | |||||

2014 | Tian, Y., Sun, Y. and Yu, L. | Advanced Controller of a Hybrid Foil-Magnetic Bearing | Proceedings of ISMB14 | ||
Abstract: A hybrid foil-magnetic bearing (HFMB) is combination of a gas foil bearing (GFB) and a active magnetic bearing (AMB), which takes advantages of both bearings while compensating each other’s weaknesses. It is a solution of friction and wear of the GFBs at low speeds and limited load capacity of the AMBs. Furthermore, load sharing and control of dynamics can be achieved in a hybrid foilmagnetic bearing. However, in order to achieve the ideal performances of the HFMBs, an advanced controller must be designed based on the static and dynamic performances of the HFMBs. Since the AMBs are ‘smart’ devices that the working condition can be measured and actively controlled, it is quite natural to design an advanced controller for the HFMBs to use the AMBs to identify the characteristics of the GFBs and with the function of load sharing between the GFBs and the AMBs. In this paper, a 4-DOF model of bearing-rotor system supported by two HFMBs was established firstly, and then an advanced controller with the function of identification and load sharing was presented. Finally, experiments were done on a test rig whose rotor is supported by two journal HFMBs and a thrust AMB. The test results show that when change the load shared by the GFBs and the AMBs, advanced controller can find the new proper working position of the HFMBs rapidly and smoothly. More importantly, HFMBs with advanced controller based on the identified characteristics of GFBs can work steadily at the speed range of 0 2,2000r/min. | |||||

Abstract: A force free control method is studied based on the active magnetic bearings (AMBs) system of the magnetically suspended compound molecule pump. This method uses the feedforward strategy. The output signals generated with the least mean square (LMS) algorithm are the same as synchronous disturbances, which are caused by unbalance forces. So through this approaches, the controller need not respond to synchronous disturbances. This method can let the rotor rotate around its inertia axis and eliminate the synchronous disturbances of the currents in the electromagnet windings to significantly attenuate the mechanical vibration of the shell. The experimental results verify that the proposed approach is significantly minimized the amplitude of the shell vibration of the magnetically suspended compound molecule pump, which will provide good experience and design references for the future application of the AMBs in the molecule pump. | |||||

Abstract: Engineering costs especially for controller design are substantial and obstruct active magnetic bearings (AMBs) for broader industrial applications. An optimization based AMB controller design method is developed to solve this problem. The optimization criteria are selected to describe AMB practical performance. Controller components are chosen considering that parameters can be manually interpreted and modified onsite for commissioning. A multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) toolbox is used to tune these controller component parameters to minimize the design criteria automatically. The method has been verified in a controller design process for an AMB levitated machine. With this method, the engineering cost for controller design can be reduced significantly. | |||||

The lumped parameter models decrease computational time by 99% compared to Finite Element Analysis (FEM) without compromising fidelity needed to capture the non-linear and hysteretic force-displacement behavior between a levitated permanent magnet and bulk superconductor.

Abstract: A solar-powered magnetic suspension carrier system is fabricated which achieves noncontact power supply to the carrier. There are two conventional methods of supplying power to a carrier. One is through wires or contacts such as pantograph and the other is a battery in the carrier. However, the noncontact characteristics are lost in the former, and stations for charging the battery are necessary in the latter. These problems are overcome by the proposed carrier system using solar magnetic suspension that can achieve continuous levitation. In rooms like in factory, the generation of power by solar cells is low so that the magnetic suspension needs power saving. A zero power control system is applied to the suspension of the floator. In addition, low-power peripheral devices are also fabricated. | |||||

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have been widely applied in industrial rotating machinery. Power amplifier as an essential actuator of the AMB faces the limitation of DC bus voltage. A simple approach is to increase the voltage to a high value, but it has to deal with large current ripples and a low resolution. Other than the ordinary method, this paper addresses to the anti-windup control of AMB that aims to eliminate the adverse effect of the voltage saturation. The antiwindup algorithm is an addition to the nominal linear controller. And only when the saturation occurs is it activated. The stability is guaranteed by the procedure of calculating the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form of the regional Lyapunov stability. Simulation test is done to verify the proposed controller. Finally in the motor drive experiment, the axial AMB equipped in the prototype supports the thrust force. With the load changes, the performance of the anti-windup controller is demonstrated. | |||||

Initially, minimizing the ITAE performance index, PID control system is designed to stabilize the rotor. The obtained transfer function is adopted as a compensator to shape the singular values of the nominal plant. By applying the Glover-McFarlane control method, a robust controller which includes coprime factor uncertainties is designed. The results show that the AMB system satisfies Zone A specifications defined by the ISO 14839 standard for newly commissioned machines with magnetic bearings. | |||||

In this paper, we use an existing rotor-AMB test rig to emulate the operation of energy storage flywheels suspended on AMBs. The test rig contains four active magnetic bearings, two located at the two ends of the rotor, one located at the rotor mid-span and the last located at the rotor quarter span. We will use the two magnetic bearings in the mid and quarter spans to emulate the negative stiffness of the generator and the gyroscopic effect of the flywheel disk.

Abstract: This paper presents the concept and the practical implementation of a switch-mode current amplifier for the use in Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB). The switch-mode amplifier consists of a full-bridge capable of operating in 2-level, 3- level or phase-shifted PWM mode. An optimal digital currentprogrammed mode controller lays out the foundations to a proximate-optimal, robust, large-signal dynamic response of the system under extreme cases of loading and parameters variations. In particular, the current amplifier developed is capable of following the desired reference for large inductance variations (due to displacement). The power stage combines a newly developed, efficient, passive-based current sensor that is capable of sensing bi-directional and near-zero currents, while being robust to external disturbances and maintaining simple and efficient structure. The presented current amplifier concept has been verified experimentally on a single-axis AMB platform using a dual channel amplifier prototype, controlled by a single 16 bit low-cost microcontroller. | |||||

Abstract: The support parameters, the stiffness and damping coefficients, of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have direct influence on the dynamic response and stability of a rotor bearing system. The unbalance response method is a simple but effective way to identify the AMB support parameters. In this paper, we present experimental verification of this identification method. We first briefly introduce the unbalance response method and the error response surface approach to rectifying the identification error induced by the rotor flexibility. The final AMB stiffness and damping coefficients are determined as the sum of the nominal values identified by the unbalance response method and the identification errors derived from the error response surfaces. We will then present the experimental verification of this combined unbalance response and error response surface identification method on a rotor AMB test rig. In order to verify the identification method, the parameters thus identified based on the experimental data are integrated with the rotor finite element model to form the rotor-AMB model. The model unbalance response is obtained through simulation and compared with experimentally measured unbalance response. The close agreement between the model unbalance response and the experimentally measured response demonstrates that the proposed method is effective in identifying the AMB support parameters. | |||||

Abstract: In this paper, an improvement of the rotor vibration in one-axis actively positioned single-drive bearingless motor (SDBM) with repulsive passive magnetic bearings is presented. The SDBM has only one set of three-phase windings. It generates both torque and active axial force independently driven by only one three-phase inverter and one displacement sensor. Therefore, the single-drive bearingless motors have the advantages of low cost and small size. Only axial z-axis is actively positioned. The other axes, radial movements x and y, and tilting movements ? x and ? y, are passively stable. Therefore, in the one degree-of-freedom (1DOF) bearingless motor, vibrations in the radial and tilting directions are serious problem. In this paper, an improvement method of the radial vibration in the 1DOF SDBM is presented. The principle of the radial vibration generation is shown. In the experiment, it is found that a correction of the rotor rotational angular position is effective for the radial vibration reduction. | |||||

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel disk type permanent magnet motor, which actively controls 5 degrees of freedom of a flat rotor without any contact. The proposed motor consists of an Axial Self-bearing Motor (ASBM) and additional cylindrical flux paths. The axial force and motor torque are controlled by the rotating flux with the same number of poles of the rotor, and the tilt control torque is produced by the rotating flux with the two plus or two minus poles of the rotor. The radial force is produced by supplying direct current to the stator windings. The direct current produces the flux through the stator and the cylindrical flux path, then the radial force can be generated by the interaction of the rotor poles and the edge of the cylindrical flux path. This paper introduces the structure and principle of the proposed motor, and shows the results of the magnetic forces calculated by the numerical electromagnet analysis. | |||||

Vibration of rotational shaft has been reported to be suppressed by magnetic force of bearingless motors. In general bearingless motors, motor windings and suspension windings are separately enclosed in the stator slot. For only vibration suppression at a critical speed, however, suspension windings are not used except the critical speed. In this paper, vibration suppression of a rotor shaft by a middle-point current-injection type bearingless motor at 50000 r/min is presented. This motor can generate the torque and the magnetic force by only one set of three-phase windings. The test results of the vibration suppression are presented. | |||||

Abstract: 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. | |||||

Static flux density measurement was performed through two FBG-GMM sensors and one temperature compensation FBG, and the measured data were consistent with the sensor properties obtained from the U-shape electromagnet test, which validate the FBG-GMM magnetic field sensor’s feasibility. | |||||

Abstract: Most bearingless motors run at a relatively low speed because of the high iron loss problem. Considering that a slotless structure is beneficial to high speed, this paper deduces two mathematical models based on this existent structure. The first model is for traditional control and the second one is for fault-tolerant control. In the process of derivation, the concept of superposition is introduced to calculate the flux density in the air gap. At last, finite element analysis is done to verify the model. | |||||

Abstract: Backup Bearings (BuB) must be designed to withstand the shock loads which occur during impacts with heavy and/or high-speed rotors. Both experimental testing and transient dynamic simulation are necessary for the study of BuB performance. This paper presents the transient dynamic simulation methodology developed within SIEMENS for the study of full-scale rotor landings in rolling element BuBs. The developed models were validated with a substantial landing program led and performed by SIEMENS, whose objective was to qualify the safe operation of hybrid rolling element BuBs for an industrial application utilizing an AMB-levitated 9t supercritical motor. The paper describes the BuB model, summarizes the simulation results and offers a comparison with experimental measurements from the aforementioned successful landing tests program. | |||||
