Magnetic bearings have specific properties that differentiate them from mechanical bearings. The principle advantages relate to the absence of physical contact and electronic control of the rotor position.
Summary of Benefits:
- No lubrication
- No abrasion
- No generation of particles
- Easy to clean and sterilize
- Ideal for clean-room operation
- Can operate under difficult environmental conditions like heat, cold, steam, vacuum, aggressive chemicals
- Excellent thermal insulation of rotor and stator
- Hermetic sealing (canning) possible
- Low vibration and noise
- Electronic adjustment of damping and stiffness
- Electronic unbalance compensation
- Electronic fine positioning of the rotor within the air gap
- Permanent monitoring of bearing load, rotor deflection and unbalance without additional equipment
