Abstract

See full text

The invention is an actively controlled radial magnetic bearing using inexpensive and rugged search coils as sensors instead of costly and delicate displacement or position sensors. It involves a feedback control scheme totally different from the conventional PID control algorithm. It comprises a velocity estimator with search coil signals as input, a velocity feedback controller with high-frequency gain and phase modification for the purpose of controlling flexible rotors, a self-starter automating the levitation, and a unique design and tuning method of analysis.
