摘要:
A gas rotary machine of a type which is driven by a driving system with two parallel axes wherein a pinion shaft supporting a pinion is made as a flexible shaft and damper bearings including ball/roller bearings are employed to support the flexible shaft so that the whole machine is kept compact and the power required therefor is reduced.

An inductance-type displacement sensor which can measure the displacement of a measured object of magnetic material without any contact with the object. A pair of series connected coils is provided adjacent to the object so that the inductance of the coils varies in response to a displacement of the object from a predetermined position. The inductance, the number of windings, the direction of the windings and the section of each of the cores are so set that the magnetic flux produced by one of the coils runs in a direction opposite to that of the magnetic flux produced by the other coil and the densities of the respective magnetic fluxes are identical with each other.

A radial magnetic bearing system for use in turbomachinery, machine tools and so forth is disclosed. A rotary yoke made of a magnetic material is rigidly secured to a rotary shaft, and an electromagnet stator is rigidly secured to a casing. The stator is arranged to generate magnetic attraction forces radially at equi-angular spacings of 120.degree. within a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotary shaft. Three displacement sensors are arranged such that each sensor measures displacement of the rotary shaft with respect to the casing in the direction of one of the three magnetic attraction forces, thus controlling the level of each magnetic attraction force.

A magnetic levitation conveyor apparatus has levitation electromagnets, linear motors, and displacement sensors which are disposed outside of a tunnel, and a carriage of simple structure which is movable in the tunnel. The carriage is of canned structure for preventing gases from being generated. The carriage of canned structure allows the tunnel to have a reduced cross-sectional area and to be filled with a highly purified atmosphere such as of a high vacuum. The tunnel has substantially orthogonal branches at a branched point. In the branched point, the carriage can move, while being lifted out of contact with the tunnel partition, with a directional change from a main conveyor passage into a branched conveyor passage. The magnetic levitation conveyor apparatus is highly practical as it can control the carriage to be lifted and moved as described above.

A turbo molecular pump includes a magnetic bearing system which includes a rotor having an impeller connected to a shaft and a motor. A stator is positioned between the shaft and the impeller. Radial magnetic bearings, an active axial magnetic bearing and emergency bearings are each provided between the rotor and the stator. The radial magnetic bearings include passive magnetic bearings provided on the rotor and the stator respectively. The axial magnet bearing is disposed in the vicinity where the impeller is connected to the shaft. The emergency bearings are disposed on a low vacuum side with one emergency bearing being positioned near the axial magnetic bearing. A diameter of the shaft is made smaller than an inside diameter of the emergency bearing near the axial magnetic bearing. By this arrangement, only one control axis is necessary for controlling the position of the rotor. Disassembling of the shaft and impeller is easy and contamination of the high vacuum side can be prevented.
摘要:
An apparatus for correcting imbalance of a rotor suspended by a magnetic bearing system including a displacement sensor for detecting a displacement of the rotor. An imbalance correcting circuit applies a trial imbalance correcting signal to the magnetic bearing system. A command computer applies an amount of correction to the imbalance correcting circuit and calculates an influence factor of the imbalance correcting signal on the basis of outputs from the displacement sensor before and after the imbalance correcting signal is applied to the magnetic bearing system, so as to cause the imbalance correcting circuit to apply a predetermined imbalance correcting signal produced from the influence factor to the magnetic bearing system, thereby minimizing the output of the displacement sensor to correct mass-imbalance of the rotor.
摘要:
A cemtrifugal pump in which the thrust generated by an impeller is balanced by the operation of a balancing disc device. In the pump, a magnetic bearing is employed as an axial thrust bearing. The distance between the surface of a balancing disc and an axial displacement detecting surface which, together with the pump shaft, and the distance between such surface of a balancing disc seat is a fixed-side member which faces the balancing disc surface. The surface of a displacement sensor is another fixed-side member which faces the axial displacement detecting surface and are made equal to each other, or the latter distance is made slightly larger than the former distance. The neutral position of the magnetic thrust bearing is made to substantially coincide with the axial position of the rotator of the pump and is determined by the balancing disc device during running of the pump. By these arrangements, the position of the stator is determined by the balancing disc device during normal operation of the pump, whereas the position is determined by the magnetic thrust bearing when the pump is at rest or in a transient running state.
摘要:
A controller for a magnetic bearing system which controls the magnetic attraction force acting between a rotor yoke rigidly secured to a rotary shaft and a pair of electromagnet stators rigidly secured to a casing on the basis of a signal output from a displacement sensor which measures relative displacement between the rotary shaft and the casing. The signal output from the displacement sensor is input to a compensation circuit. The signal output from the compensation circuit is input to both the non-inverting input terminal of one operational amplifier and the inverting input terminal of the other operational amplifier. An exciting coil bias voltage is input to the respective inverting input terminals of the two operational amplifiers.
