Magnetic bearing control systems and adaptive forced balancing

Abstract
Active magnetic bearing (AMB) actuators support rotors without friction but require feedback control for stabilization and performance. We address the application of modern control techniques such as LQG/LTR, H/spl infin/, and QFT to AMB systems. We also introduce a novel method called adaptive forced balancing (AFB) which solves the problem of synchronous vibration caused by mass unbalance. Simulation and experimental results are included to show the performance of AFB as applied to single-end AMB suspensions (SISO systems). Finally, AFB with frequency tracking and its generalization for double-end AMB suspensions (MIMO systems) are briefly explored.< >
