Title: Halbach-array radial stabilizer for a passive magnetic bearing

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1600180

A radial stabilizer is provided for stabilizing levitation passive bearing elements against lateral displacements. The stabilizer provides a means to introduce anisotropy in the radial stiffness of the stabilizer. The presence of anisotropic stiffness has a strongly stabilizing effect on whirl-type rotor-dynamic instabilities. The stabilizer design also provides a means for continuously monitoring the state of health of the rotor by signaling the onset of changes of balance that would be expected to precede any major failure.
