Modeling and Development of RMD Configuration Magnetic Bearing
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2015, Vol 37, Issue 2
Abstract
The low load carrying capacity of Passive Magnetic Bearings (PMBs) has restricted their use in many industrial applications. The Rotation Magnetized Direction (RMD) configuration has emerged as a strong and viable method that is able to substantially enhance the load carrying capacity of passive magnetic bearings. It consists of both radially and axially polarized passive magnets. But the physical realization of a radially polarized magnet is difficult to achieve. In the present work, a RMD structure consisting of aluminum ring and cubical shaped magnets is proposed by developing the radially polarized magnets required for RMD structure. A theoretical model is derived by simulating the cuboid magnets in form of sector magnets by developing equivalent surface area. An experimental setup was designed and developed to conduct experimental verification. The theoretical model is validated by conducting experiments on RMD configuration magnetic bearing and axially magnetized full ring bearing. The comparison of the load carrying capacity by different configuration is performed and results are presented.
