Abstract
Various permanent magnet bearingless motors, which can control rotor radial positions with magnetic force actively, have been proposed and developed. These bearingless motors are characterized by integration of permanent magnet motors and magnetic bearings. However, these bearingless motors cannot generate suspension force effectively, because suspension flux necessary for generating the suspension force passes through permanent magnets which have large magnetic reluctance. Accordingly, this paper proposes a novel deeply-buried permanent magnet bearingless motor with 2-pole motor windings and 4-pole suspension windings. In the proposed motor, the suspension flux does not pass through the permanent magnets. Thus, the proposed motor is shown to generate suspension force effectively. In addition, a control method of the proposed motor and its drive system are theoretically analyzed, and it is shown experimentally that the proposed drive system is effective in realizing stable operation of magnetic suspension.
