Influence of displacement sensor runout on active magnetic bearing-rotor system and control analysis

Abstract

In the active magnetic bearing (AMB)-rotor system, a displacement sensor is one of the indispensable components. It detects the displacement of the rotor in real time and feeds back to the control system to realize the stable suspension of the rotor. However, due to electromagnetic interference, unstable power supply, poor grounding, and uneven rotor surface, the signal runout of the displacement sensor can often occur, resulting in rotor vibration. Given the above problems, this paper establishes the control model of the AMB-rotor system, lists three typical sensor runout signals, then analyzes the influence of different types of sensor runout on the system, and discusses the control methods under different sensor runout conditions. The research results have a specific guiding significance for vibration control of the maglev rotor under sensor runout influence.
