Magnetic bearings and electrodynamic systems represent a rapidly evolving field in which contactless support of rotating components is achieved through the elegant interplay of magnetic forces and ...

Smaller, streamlined electronics make lubricant-free, low-friction magnetic bearings feasible for more rotating machines. • Magnetic bearings support rotating shafts in five axes without solid or ...

More-powerful controllers and better software lead to broader applications for magnetic bearings. Magnetic-bearings, which support shafts with magnetic levitation rather than mechanical contact, have ...

One of the most demanding applications of real-time control is the active magnetic bearing (AMB). Suspending a shaft rotating faster than 10,000 RPMs in a magnetic field with a gap of .015 ...

TRAINS that float on air may be the most famous objects borne by magnetic fields. But magnetic forces can also support other, less visible objects: the spinning shafts, for example, hidden at the ...

Calnetix Technologies LLC has announced the commercial availability of its latest technology development, the Insight™ 3600 magnetic bearing controller. These state-of-the-art, compact, panel-mounted ...
