Analytical Model of Six-Pole Axial-Radial Active Magnetic Bearing Based on Flux Density and Segmentation of Magnetic Field

To reduce the coupling resulting from structural asymmetry and enhance the load-bearing capacity per unit area, a six -pole axial -radial active magnetic bearing (AR-AMB) has been suggested. To refine the precision of the mathematical model derived from the conventional equivalent magnetic circuit model, a modeling technique that employs flux density and magnetic field segmentation has been proposed. Firstly, the structure and operational principle of the six -pole AR-AMB are introduced. Subsequently, an improved model based on the flux density is established by considering the internal relationship between the iron core and air gap magnetic field in a magnetic bearing with pole shoes. The model addresses issues related to the accurate calculation of fringing magnetic flux and magnetic saturation of core materials while accounting for eddy current effects on suspension force. Finally, the accuracy of the theoretical analysis results has been validated through finite element simulation and experiment, and demonstrated that the rotor based on this model exhibits robust anti-interference capabilities.
