Patent References 3560776 Radial magnetic bearing Back-up bearing for permanent magnet biased magnetic bearing W-shaped superconducting electromagnetic system for magnetic levitation vehicles High speed spindle motor and apparatus equipped with high speed spindle motor Patent #: 5804896 InventorsApplicationNo. 094145 filed on 06/09/1998US Classes:310/90.5, Magnetic bearing310/216Core featuresExaminersPrimary: Dougherty, Thomas M.Assistant: Nguyen, Tan T. Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH02K 007/09AbstractA magnetic actuator core is provided for a radial bearing that supports a rotor for rotation about an axis. The magnetic actuator core includes a back iron, and a plurality of poles spaced circumferentially about the axis and extending radially from the back iron. Each of the poles has a taper wherein the circumferential width of the pole tapers from larger to smaller as the pole extends from the back iron. | |
