Abstract

The effect of eddy current dampers on the vibrational properties in superconducting levitation has been investigated using melt-processed YBaCuO bulk superconductors. In vertical vibration, the damping was about 100 times improved by inserting eddy current dampers into the gap between a superconductor and a magnet. On the other hand, in horizontal vibration, eddy current dampers did not greatly affect the vibrationaal properties of superconducting levitation up to a given thickness of eddy current dampers.
