  • Publication number: 20230016862
    Abstract: A design method for a six-pole hybrid magnetic bearing with symmetrical suspension forces. A magnetic bearing is designed by taking particularity that a permanent magnet of the six-pole hybrid magnetic bearing with symmetrical suspension forces forms magnetic polarity on a stator suspension tooth as the starting point and taking maximum suspension forces in x and y directions and a saturation magnetic density as constraint conditions. Compared with a method for designing the maximum radial suspension force in a +x direction in a manner that a saturation magnetic induction intensity is reached in the +x direction and the magnetic induction intensity in a ?x direction is zero in existing design of a six-pole hybrid magnetic bearing, this method enables the maximum magnetic suspension forces in the +x and +y directions to be same, so that the radial suspension forces of the six-pole hybrid magnetic bearing are designed to be completely symmetrical.
