  • Publication number: 20260185559
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid bearing that effectively combines load-bearing capacity of a magnetic bearing and damping performance of a foil bearing by installing a pedestal between poles of the magnetic bearing and coupling the foil bearing inside the pedestal, thereby eliminating restrictions on thickness and height of foils and maintaining a constant gap between the magnetic bearing and a rotating shaft.
