Abstract
In this paper, we propose a simple driving method that uses only one three-phase inverter for an actively controlled 2-DOF bearingless motor. This motor has a six-slot/six-pole structure, including two separated windings for the single-phase six-pole motor and the three-phase four-pole suspension. The stator core has a staggered-tooth structure to produce starting torque. The single-phase motor winding is connected between the neutral point of the three-phase suspension winding and the midpoint of the dc power sources. The radial suspension force is calculated analytically and verified using the finite-element method. In addition, we introduce a ripple compensation method for the suspension force. A prototype of a bearingless permanent magnet motor with 2-DOF active suspension was built and tested. The results of experiments demonstrated that the rotor, which was driven at speeds up to 8000 r/min, could be levitated successfully, using only one three-phase inverter.
