Magnetic Levitation in Fractional-Horsepower Drives

Description

Magnetically levitated and bearingless devices have long been subjects of academic interest. However, in recent times first serial products relying on this technology enter the broader cost-sensitive industrial market [1].This development arouses interest to exploit the benefits of magnetic levitation (longer lifetime, high rotational speeds, improved efficiency) in a wider field of applications. To become more competitive, especially in the low-power range, costs need to be reduced significantly, leading to passive stabilization of several degrees of freedom (coming without the need for additional sensors, control and power electronics). This work shows some examples of magnetically levitated small-power drives in industrial applications.
