Abstract: A magnetic bearing module (1) having a position sensor (2) and a magnetic bearing (3) is disclosed. One of a connection face (5, 6) of the position sensor (2) and a connection face (9) of the magnetic bearing (3) is provided with three pegs (22, 23, 24). Each peg has a shape exhibiting symmetry of revolution of which the axis (L22, L23, L24) is parallel to the axis (L1) of the module (1). The angular spacing between the first peg (22) and the second peg (23) is 90°. The angular spacing between the second peg (23) and the third peg (24) is 90°. The other of the connection face (5, 6) of the position sensor (2) and the connection face (9) of the magnetic bearing (3) has three accommodating notches (32, 33, 34) inside each of which is mounted one of the three pegs (22, 23, 24).

Abstract: A rotor includes an assembly hub intended to be fixed to a shaft, a plurality of permanent magnets which are supported by the assembly hub, and a binding band holding the plurality of permanent magnets in place. The binding band includes crossed windings of reinforcing fibers arranged around the plurality of permanent magnets. Preferably, the rotor further includes a retaining sleeve formed of a unidirectional winding of a reinforcing fiber arranged around the binding band.

Abstract: A stator assembly having a housing and a stator that are concentric, the stator being mounted radially inside the housing is provided. This stator assembly includes fastening elements that are mounted between a radial inner surface of the housing and a radial outer surface of the stator and exert a radial fastening force on the housing and the stator.

Abstract: A stator assembly that provides a concentric housing and stator, the stator radially positioned inside the housing, the housing having an inner surface, the stator having an outer surface radially facing the inner surface. One of the outer surface of the stator and the inner surface of the housing has recessed shapes and the other one of the outer and inner surface has protruding shapes. When the two shapes are arranged in a first relative position, the protruding shapes are inserted in the recessed shapes so that the stator can be mounted radially inside the housing along a central axis of the assembly, and in a second relative position that is angularly shifted relative to the first position around the central axis, the protruding shapes exert, against the one of the housing and the stator that bears the recessed shapes, a radial force that angularly and axially locks the stator.

Abstract: An assembly that includes a rotating shaft supported with respect to a stationary housing by at least one active magnetic bearing presenting a mean radial air gap and at least one auxiliary bearing having a bushing fixed to the housing and a sleeve fixed on the rotating shaft. The bushing and the sleeve have opposite surfaces that define a clearance (E2) which is less than the mean radial air gap (E1). The bushing and the sleeve each exhibit symmetry around a longitudinal axis of the shaft and have different profiles in a longitudinal cross-section including the longitudinal axis to optimize the contact pressure distribution when the rotating shaft lands on the auxiliary bearing.
