  • High-temperature superconducting magnetic bearing
    Patent number: 5789837
    Abstract: A passive magnetic bearing structure for radially supporting a rotor with respect to a stator is provided, in which a magnetic circuit is mounted on the rotor or stator for generating two strongly different axial magnetic fields in two concentric angular gaps coaxial to the rotation axis and radially spaced from one another. At least three shortened superconducting turns are mounted on the stator circumferentially around the rotation axis so that under any tolerable shift of the rotor, one edge of every turn will be placed in one annular gap comprising magnetic field, and the radially opposite edge will be placed in the other gap.
