Squeeze Film Dampers for High Temperature Superconducting Radial Magnetic Bearings

반경방향 고온초전도베어링의 Squeeze Film 댐퍼 설계

  • Published : 2002.11.01

Abstract

Squeeze film dampers(SFDs) are designed and analyzed for radial superconducting bearings. The designed SFDs are mounted on the superconductors submerged in liquid nitrogen such that the dampers should supply additional damping to the relatively underdamped superconducting bearing support. Basic theory of SFD with superconducting bearing are introduced. Rotordynamic simulations are provided to support the feasibility of the superconducting magnetic bearings mounted on SFDs for a horizontal flywheel energy storage system.
