A maglev motor and a pump using the maglev motor can be provided with strong magnetic bearing force generated by a simple structure, rotation losses of a rotor reduced with the generation of an eddy current suppressed, and a configuration of magnetic bearing can downsize by using a thin rotor.

Maglev motor and pump

A magnetic levitation motor including a stator having magnetic bearing units and a motor unit, and a rotor provided to the stator. And the occurrence of an eddy current at a magnetic bearing is suppressed and the rotation loss of the rotor can be reduced, and also to provide a pump using such the magnetic levitation motor.

Magnetic levitation motor and pump

In a hybrid magnetic bearing, the electromagnet has a core wound with a control coil and has a main pole and a commutating pole with a commutating pole permanent magnet provided approximately parallel to each other at predetermined intervals in a protruding condition radially or axially to the rotor. In the magnetic bearing provided radially, two electromagnets are placed oppositely to each other across the rotor in an approximately horizontal position, and the rotor is arranged so as to have a predetermined gap with the main pole and the commutating pole, and the permanent magnet is provided between the adjacent electromagnets. In the magnetic bearing provided axially, two electromagnets are placed in parallel in an approximately horizontal position, and the rotor is arranged so as to have a predetermined gap with the main pole and the commutating pole, and the permanent magnet is provided between the adjacent electromagnets.
