Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Magnetic bearing that is provided with a radial actuator part and an axial actuator part, whereby the aforementioned radial actuator part comprises a laminated stator stack that is provided with a stator yoke, wherein the stator yoke is linked to a closed ferromagnetic structure that surrounds the stator yoke.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A magnetic bearing comprising a radial actuator part configured to create radial magnetic forces and an axial actuator part configured to create axial magnetic forces, wherein the aforementioned radial actuator part comprises a laminated stator stack that is provided with a stator yoke, wherein the magnetic bearing comprises at least one closed ferromagnetic structure that surrounds a part of the stator yoke, wherein the axial actuator part comprises at least one axial control coil that surrounds the laminated stator stack, and further comprises a pole yoke and two axial poles; wherein permanent magnets are provided between the stator yoke and both axial poles; the permanent magnets are magnetised in an axial direction; and the magnetisation direction of the permanent magnets is opposite at both axial sides of the stator yoke, and wherein a path of an axial control flux crosses a central hole of a stack of laminated ferromagnetic material. 2. The magnetic bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed ferromagnetic structure comprises wound flat ribbon. 3. The magnetic bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed ferromagnetic structure comprises a ferrite. 4. The magnetic bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed ferromagnetic structure comprises a soft magnetic composite powder. 5. The magnetic bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed ferromagnetic structure comprises an amorphous or nanocrystalline material. 6. The magnetic bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed ferromagnetic structure comprises a number of interconnected parts.
