Switched reluctance bearingless motors
Masatsugu Takemoto
In this chapter the bearingless switched reluctance motor is introduced. Conventional switched reluctance motors with mechanical bearings have generated significant interest among researchers and industrial engineers. For particular environments and applications, the switched reluctance motor can have superior performance because of its inherent features such as being fail-safe, robustness, low cost and possible operation at high temperature or in intense temperature variation [1–7]. Industrial drives which utilize the switched reluctance machine have been available for some time.
The switched reluctance motor also offers the possibility of operation as a bearingless motor. Torque ...
