Abstract
A permanent magnetic motor having a magnetic axial bearing and one or more fluid bearings, wherein a stator unit is disposed on a baseplate, the stator unit being disposed opposite a magnet ring made up of permanent magnets and being separated from the magnet ring by an air gap, and the magnet ring is fixed to the inside circumference of a circumferential hub that is supported with respect to a bearing bush by means of the fluid bearings via a shaft, and at least one fluid dynamic axial bearing is preloaded with an axial attractive force component that is at least partly generated by a ferromagnetic pull ring that is fixed to the baseplate and disposed below the magnet ring and permeated by its field lines, characterized in that, seen magnetically, the stator unit is centered with respect to the magnet ring and has no significant axial offset and that the pull ring has no or only relatively low electrical conductivity at high magnetic permeability.
