Lose Your Bearings: An Introduction to Magnetically Suspended Shafts

Activity: Talk or presentationOther talk or presentationscience-to-science

Description

The goal of this tutorial is to train participants on how to use magnetic suspension in their motor systems in place of conventional bearings. Participants will analyze the shortcomings of conventional bearings, explore basic principles of magnetic forces, identify control techniques of magnetic bearings and bearingless motors, examine magnetic suspension technology for a broad range of power and speed motor systems, and investigate the history of an exciting new trends in research on bearingless motors. Ultimately, participants will evaluate the potential for magnetic suspension technology to disrupt their product development or research field.
