Parameter Design and Analysis on Axial Hybrid Magnetic Bearing Using in Magnetic Suspension Flywheel

Abstract

Magnetic suspension flywheel system is the actuator of spacecraft in high accurate position control, which requires the employed magnetic bearing possessing advantages of compact structure, small volume, light weight, low power loss, high efficiency and so on. A novel axial hybrid magnetic bearing in magnetic suspension flywheel is proposed, and the bias magnetic flux is provided with a permanent magnet ring. The cost and total volume of this structure can be reduced, which is especially suitable for magnetic suspension flywheel system. The structure and working principle of the axial magnetic bearing are explained, the mathematical expressions of the maximum bearing capacity are obtained, the detailed process of parameter design is presented, and the flux and maximum bearing capacity of the hybrid magnetic bearing are analyzed by using finite element analysis software. The analysis results validate the correctness of parameter design on the axial hybrid magnetic bearing.
