Magnetic bearing construction

A magnetic bearing (10) is provided for supporting a rotor (12) for rotation about an axis (14). The magnetic bearing (10) includes a plurality of actuator cores (16) spaced circumferentially about the axis (14), and a plurality of non-magnetic spacers (18A, 18B). Each of the cores (16) has a pair o...

Zusammenfassung:	A magnetic bearing (10) is provided for supporting a rotor (12) for rotation about an axis (14). The magnetic bearing (10) includes a plurality of actuator cores (16) spaced circumferentially about the axis (14), and a plurality of non-magnetic spacers (18A, 18B). Each of the cores (16) has a pair of circumferentially spaced end surfaces (28). Each of the spacers (18A, 18B) is positioned between the end surfaces (28) of adjacent pairs of the cores (16) and has an interference fit with the end surfaces (28) to form a circumferentially preloaded ring (19) of the cores (16) and spacers (18A, 18B) centered on the axis (14). At least one of the non-magnetic spacers is a multi-piece assembly (18A) including a shim (32, 49) having a width selected to provide the circumferential preload within a predetermined range.
