The axial magnetic bearing positions a rotor axially using electromagnetic forces pulling in opposition on the collar. The bearing collar is a flat, solid, ferromagnetic disc secured to the rotor.
Disc-shaped electromagnets are situated on either side of the collar and bolted to the machine housing, forming the active and inactive axial bearing.
BENEFITS OF MAGNETIC BEARING TECHNOLOGY
Increased reliability and availability – robust design with ongoing enhancements
Environmentally friendly – no lubricating oil and reduced equipment profile
Increased plant safety – fewer system interfaces
Enhanced rotordynamic control – remote connectivity for monitoring and diagnostics
Lowest total cost of ownership – reduced energy consumption, virtually maintenance free
