Abstract
Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are a promising way to support rotors passively with no friction. In particular, heteropolar EDBs could allow for combining the motor and guiding functions, thereby optimizing the use of permanent magnets. Despite this advantage, few efforts have been dedicated to the evaluation and optimization of the performance of heteropolar EDBs. In this paper, the performance of a yokeless topology of heteropolar EDB is evaluated and optimized. This is done by evaluating the parameters of a dynamical model of the EDB using a two-dimensional analytical model.
