The present application provides a method and a device for stopping a magnetic suspension centrifuge. The method comprises: a frequency-conversion cabinet connected with the magnetic suspension centrifuge judges a stopping state of the magnetic suspension centrifuge; if the stopping state is judged to satisfy a preset condition, the frequency-conversion cabinet switches a operating mode of a motor of the magnetic suspension centrifuge from an electrically-powered state mode to a power generation state mode, so as to convert the inertia mechanical energy of the motor when the motor stops into electric energy; and the frequency-conversion cabinet leads the electric energy into a power grid, so as to consume the electric energy. By means of the method and device for stopping the magnetic suspension centrifuge, the problem that the motor of the magnetic suspension centrifuge cannot be rapidly switched from an operating state to a stopping state when an exception occurs to a bearing or a bearing controller in the prior art can be solved.

A rotor assembly for an axial magnetic bearing includes a shaft portion and a disc attached to the shaft portion. The disc includes a conical surface on a portion reaching radially from the aperture of the disc a distance away from the aperture. A fastening mechanism includes an aperture for the shaft portion so that the fastening mechanism includes a conical surface matching the conical surface of the disc. The fastening mechanism and the shaft portion are shaped to enable the fastening mechanism to be tightened axially against the conical surface of the disc so as to arrange the conical surface of the fastening mechanism to press the conical surface of the disc towards the center line of the shaft portion. Thus, the fastening mechanism acts against the centrifugal force and keeps the disc centric placed.
