Abstract
A radial magnetic bearing assembly having an unsymmetrical stator. The assembly comprises fewer or smaller electromagnets, and thus capacity, in the two lower quadrants below the rotor in use, in comparison to the electromagnets, and thus capacity, in the two upper quadrants above the rotor in use. This creates space in the two lower quadrants that can advantageously be used to move for example instrumentation and cooling from other places of the assembly to make the bearing assembly compactor, and also to be able to put instrumentation and cooling where it is best needed, close to the rotor.
