Compiling the expertise of nine pioneers of the field, Magnetic
Bearings - Theory, Design, and Application to Rotating Machinery
offers an encyclopedic study of this rapidly emerging field with a
balanced blend of commercial and academic perspectives. Every
element of the technology is examined in detail, beginning at the
component level and proceeding through a thorough exposition of the
design and performance of these systems.
The book is organized in a logical fashion, starting with an
overview of the technology and a survey of the range of
applications. A background chapter then explains the central
concepts of active magnetic bearings while avoiding a morass of
technical details. From here, the reader continues to a meticulous,
state-of-the-art exposition of the component technologies and the
manner in which they are assembled to form the AMB/rotor system.
These system models and performance objectives are then tied
together through extensive discussions of control methods for both
rigid and flexible rotors, including consideration of the problem
of system dynamics identification. Supporting this, the issues of
system reliability and fault management are discussed from several
useful and complementary perspectives. At the end of the book,
numerous special concepts and systems, including micro-scale
bearings, self-bearing motors, and self-sensing bearings, are put
forth as promising directions for new research and development.
Newcomers to the field will find the material highly accessible
while veteran practitioners will be impressed by the level of
technical detail that emerges from a combination of sophisticated
analysis and insights gleaned from many collective years of
practical experience. An exhaustive, self-contained text on active
magnetic bearing technology, this book should be a core reference
for anyone seeking to understand or develop systems using magnetic
bearings.
