Title: Halbach-array levitating passive magnetic bearing configuration

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1771606

Novel configurations of levitating passive magnetic bearing configurations are described. Such configurations can be used for the precise control of the magnitude and sign of the bearing stiffness, thereby facilitating the overall design of the system in ways that are not possible with conventional attractive or repelling bearing elements.
