A magnetic bearing having a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring arranged concentrically in relation to the first bearing ring. The first bearing ring and the second bearing ring are mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to each other about an axis of rotation by means of electromagnets. The first bearing ring has a first magnet row and a second magnet row. The magnet rows each include electromagnets arranged at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction of the first bearing ring. The electromagnets of the magnet rows are oriented such that they can each exert a magnetic force on the second bearing ring, which magnetic force is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation and transversely to a radial plane which is arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

Magnetic levitation bearing structure includes a cylinder body, a rotating shaft, a motor stator, a motor rotor, an axial bearing, a radial bearing and a displacement sensing device; the displacement sensing device, the axial bearing stator, and the radial bearing stator are directly fixed on an inner wall of the cylinder body.

A submersible pump electrical motor has a bearing hub between adjacent rotor sections. The bearing hub has a hub outward facing sidewall and a hub inward facing hub sidewall through which the shaft extends. A collar having a collar inward facing sidewall is rigidly mounted to the hub outward facing sidewall. The collar has a collar outward facing sidewall spaced from stator sidewall by an annular clearance. A slit in the collar extends from the collar inward facing sidewall to the collar outward facing sidewall. An anti-rotation spring has a supporting portion inwardly biased against the hub outward facing sidewall and a locking portion protruding outward through the slit into engagement with the groove to prevent rotation of the hub and the collar.

A processing system includes a housing having an interior chamber and a central vertical axis extending through the interior chamber. A rotor is disposed within the housing interior chamber and is configured to support one or more work pieces. At least one lift actuator is configured to linearly displace the rotor along the central vertical axis between a lower, inactive vertical position and an upper, transfer vertical position. At least one levitation actuator is spaced above the rotor and is configured to exert a magnetic pulling force on the rotor to levitate the rotor upwardly from the transfer vertical position to a working vertical position. Further, an annular stator assembly is coupled with the housing, is disposed about and spaced radially outwardly from the rotor and includes a motor stator, the at least one lift actuator being configured to vertically displace the rotor relative to the stator assembly.

The magnetic coupling element (100) has a drive-side coupling magnet (109) arranged on a drive shaft (106), and also an output-side coupling magnet (115) arranged on an output shaft (112), the output-side coupling magnet (115) being magnetically coupled to the drive-side coupling magnet (109), and finally a bearing magnet ring (118) which is non-rotatably mounted with respect to the drive-side or output-side coupling magnet (109) or (115), a bearing magnet portion (133, 136) of the bearing magnet ring (118) having the same polarity as a coupling magnet portion (127, 130) opposite the bearing magnet portion (136).

An electric submersible pump (ESP) assembly. The ESP assembly comprises a centrifugal pump, an electric motor mechanically coupled by a drive shaft to the centrifugal pump, wherein the electric motor comprises a stator and a rotor, a bearing, wherein the bearing is disposed inside the electric motor, and a magnetic shield disposed in the electric motor between bearing and the rotor and stator.

The present disclosure relates to a stator of a magnetic levitation bearing, a magnetic levitation bearing, and a compressor. The stator of the magnetic levitation bearing includes a stator core (4), a stator coil (5) wound around the stator core (4), a housing (2) sleeved outside the stator core (4) and having a clearance fit or a transition fit with the stator core (4), and a potting component (3) filled between the housing (2) and the stator core (4).

A bearingless hub assembly comprising a rim hollowed to receive a tube magnet, and magnets embedded around the circumference of the rim on both ends. The rim is capped by front and rear rim plates configured to hold the embedded magnets in place and fitted to receive respective circular magnets. Similar magnets in corresponding front or rear drive plate maintain space (i.e., levitation) vis-à-vis the front and rear rim caps by repelling each other, thus allowing the rim (and, as applied, a mechanically-attached tire assembly) to move freely with no friction. The front and rear drive plate carry forward and reverse electromagnetic actuators as well as forward and reverse levitation control units, power generators and speed sensors. These components mount 360 degrees around the circumference of the drive plates while the embedded magnets of the rim spin through when in motion.

A magnetic bearing contactlessly supporting a rotor by magnetic force includes: a bearing rotor member made of a magnetic material; and a bearing stator member arranged around bearing rotor member. The bearing stator member includes a core made of a magnetic material and a coil wound around the core. A longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the core has a first part extending in a first direction orthogonal to a direction opposed to the bearing rotor member and wound around with the coil, a pair of second parts extending from both end portions in the first direction of first part to the bearing rotor member side and subsequently extending in a direction approaching each other in the first direction, and a pair of third parts extending from respective distal end portions of the pair of second parts toward the bearing rotor member side. The bearing rotor member also includes a permanent magnet.
