Abstract

The dynamic model of radial active magnetic bearings, which is based on the current and position dependent partial derivatives of flux linkages and radial force characteristics, is determined using the finite element method. In this way, magnetic nonlinearities and cross‐coupling effects are considered more completely than in similar dynamic models. The presented results show that magnetic nonlinearities and cross‐coupling effects can change the electromotive forces considerably. These disturbing effects have been determined and can be incorporated into the real‐time realization of nonlinear control in order to achieve cross‐coupling compensations.
