Winding arrangement variations

Akira Chiba

Table 1.4 lists the winding variations for the bearingless machines described in this book – a brief description was also provided in the introduction chapter. In this chapter, further electromagnetic arrangements with integrated magnetic bearing and motor functions are described. A modification is put forward for the original radial magnetic bearing together with a split winding structure for the original motor. Also a p-pole and (p ± 2)-pole winding bearingless motor is described.

16.1 Modified radial magnetic bearings [1,2]

Figure 16.1 shows the cross section of a radial magnetic bearing. There are four windings consisting of two adjacent series-connected coils as shown. The winding current ...
