SpinDrive - Magnetic Bearing System
SpinDrive Oy's Magnetic Bearing System is engineered to redefine the standards of precision and efficiency in rotational machinery. The system integrates the advanced Magma magnetic bearing controller, customized actuators, precise position sensors, and reliable back-up bearings. The design process is comprehensive, encompassing rotor dynamics analysis and the intricate electromagnetic and mechanical design of actuators and sensors. The system features a range of position sensors, including inductive and eddy current types tailored to specific applications. It also includes an array of radial bearings with 8 pole, 12 pole, and homopolar configurations to optimize performance. The axial bearings are crafted to handle demanding axial forces, with options like C-shape, folded, or E-shape designs. In space-constrained scenarios, combined axial and radial bearings provide an integrated solution. Standard, commercially available back-up bearings ensure system reliability. SpinDrive’s offerings aim to enhance energy efficiency, making it a staple for specialized industrial applications.
In addition to the standard Magma magnetic bearing controller, the system consists of tailored actuators and position sensors as well as selected back-up bearings.
SpinDrive designs and manufactures all needed parts for the active magnetic bearing system.
Design
The design is crucial part of the successful AMB project. It includes, among others, rotor dynamics analysis, and actuators and sensors electromagnetic and mechanical design.
Position sensors
We provide inductive or eddy current sensors depending of the application.
Radial bearings
We can provide different types of radial bearings in order to achieve best results. The selection is made between 8 pole, 12 pole and homopolar bearings.
Axial bearings
The axial bearing is designed to meet the demanding axial force specifications. We select between various types like C-shape, folded, or E-shape depending on the application.
Combined axial and radial bearings
In some cases the axial and radial bearings are combined in order to save some space in the shaft.
Back-up bearings
We select the back-up bearings based on the design and requirements. They are standard commercially available bearings.
