A magnetic bearing supports an object to be supported in a noncontact manner by means of a composite electromagnetic force of first and second electromagnets. A processor-based controller causes a first current and a second current to be controlled according to the following equations, $\begin{array}{cc}{i}_1=\frac{g_0-\mathrm{ax}}{g_0}\left(i_b+i_d\right)& \left(1\right)\\ i_2=\frac{g_0+\mathrm{ax}}{g_0}\left(i_b-i_d\right)& \left(2\right)\end{array}$
where i.sub.1 is the first current flowing to the first electromagnet, i.sub.2 is the second current flowing to the second electromagnet, i.sub.d is a control current, i.sub.b is a bias current, g.sub.0 is a reference gap length, x is a displacement amount of the object to be supported with respect to a center position, and a is a predetermined correction coefficient.

In an electric motor, a magnetic bearing generates an electromagnetic force between multiple permanent magnets and a coil and rotatably supports an other side of a rotation shaft in an axis line direction. The rotation shaft is configured to be capable of being inclined with a rotation center line using a bearing side of the rotation shaft as a fulcrum. An electronic control device controls a current that flows to the coil such that an axis line of the rotation shaft approaches the rotation center line due to a supporting force which is the electromagnetic force between the multiple permanent magnets and the coil. Accordingly, the rotation shaft is rotatably supported to be freely rotatable by a magnetic bearing and the bearing.

A position deviation calculated by a subtractor of a vacuum pump is input to the PIDs of three modes. The first PID is a PID controller for a high-bias mode, the second PID is a PID controller for a high-rigidity mode, and the third PID is a PID controller for a low-rigidity mode. The output signal of the third PID is extracted as a change of an indicator current for each clock of a PWM frequency and then the mean value of a change of an indicator current for several clocks is determined in a calculating unit. At this point, a switching control unit performs an operation on whether the mean value of the averaged change of the indicator current is larger than a preset redetermined value and then according to the result, an value is outputted in the range of 0 to 1 from the switching control unit.

An electromagnetic rotating apparatus may include an electromagnet winding that consumes power generated during regeneration. A motor voltage monitoring circuit detects that a voltage at a motor driving main circuit is higher than a voltage during normal operation, due to overshoot or the like after arrival at a set speed during deceleration or acceleration of a motor. The motor voltage monitoring circuit transmits a high-voltage detection signal to a braking current adjusting circuit and a magnetic bearing control circuit. Upon receiving the high-voltage detection signal, the braking current adjusting circuit reduces a braking current command value for the motor so as to maintain an excitation voltage for the motor constant or reduce this excitation voltage, and an amplifier control circuit in the magnetic bearing control circuit increases a bias current flowing through an electromagnet winding to increase power consumption.

The control method and control device for a magnetic bearing can control a falling velocity of the rotor to be lower than that of the rotor being subjected only to the gravity, and have higher control efficiency.
