Modeling and Design of a Prototype Radial Magnetic Bearing System

Abstract

This work is focusing on the following main sights: modeling, design, and implementation of a prototype radial magnetic bearing system. Analysis of the magnetic field parameters in particular the magnetic flux density and the associated magnetic forces by constructing and using finite element method are well considered. A field mapping technique is presented for modeling any other type. In order to designate an active radial magnetic bearings, the designed force and the saturated magnetic flux density are considered as the important parameters to be used. Finite element method is used to evaluate and mapping the field through the model for different cases which in turns show the effective magnetic forces at the desired region
