Abstract
A novel 5-DOF actively controlled self-bearing motor that combines the functions of a motor, two radial AMBs, and an axial AMB has been developed to achieve smaller size and higher performance simultaneously. In this paper, magnetic suspension performance of the 5-DOF controlled self-bearing motor is reported. First, radial control performance of the developed self-bearing motor is evaluated by the radial experimental setup. Next, tilt control performance and 5-DOF active control performance are evaluated by the 5-DOF experimental setup. Finally, the frequency response in the 5-DOF is measured with the contact-free levitation. The 5-DOF controlled self-bearing motor produced sufficient radial force and tilt control torque to overcome the radial negative stiffness and to stabilize the rotor. The sufficient frequency bandwidth was observed in the frequency response and the self-bearing motor successfully suppressed vibration at the resonant frequencies.
