Abstract
A machine is provided including magnetic radial bearings to magnetically levitate a rotating shaft. Each of the magnetic radial bearings includes stator magnet groups. Each of the stator magnet groups includes stator magnets. Each of the stator magnet groups is operatively configured to fully support the rotating shaft independently of each other stator magnet group of the stator magnet groups so that the machine continues to operate with the failure of one or more components of the machine.
