Magnetic Bearings and Bearingless Drives

Acknowledgements

This book arises largely from the work of an academic group at the Tokyo University of Science, the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the Tokyo University of Science, Suwa, in the period from about 1988 to 2004. All the authors have worked closely in bearingless motor developments. We would like to thank Professor Tazumi Deido and Professor Koichi Ikeda of the Tokyo University of Science for their support during the early developments. We would like to thank Professor Fukuzo Nakamura of the Tokyo University of Science and Professor Satoru Miyazawa of the Tokyo University of Science, Suwa, for coordinating and supporting the joint bearingless project on permanent magnet drives between two academic organizations.
