Study of superconductor bearing stiffness according to shape of rotor

로터 형상에 따른 초전도 베어링 강성 변화

The properties of superconductor bearing are depend on shape of rotor, especially thickness of ferromagnetic shim between permanent magnets. The levitation forces and stiffness of superconductor bearings as the thickness of the ferromagnetic shim were calculated and measured, Frozen image model and difference of magnetization per unit volume of the superconductor were used to calculate stiffness for two models. The calculated values had similar trend with the measured one. From the results, an optimal design of the rotor was selected.
