    Abstract: A sensor for operating in an environment subjected to corrosive gases or liquids under pressure, including a housing inside which are installed: a sensing portion, at least one wire electrically connected to the sensing portion, and a seal for sealing the connection between the sensing portion and the at least one wire, with at least one through-hole receiving a portion of the at least one wire. The sensor further including a compressor installed inside the housing, movable with respect to the housing and adapted to contact the seal in order to compress. The seal is made from a single material that is softer than the material constituting the housing. Upon displacement of the compressor, the seal is deformed until the creation of a compression force exerted by the seal onto the portion of the at least one wire, prevents any passage of corrosive gases or liquids between the seal therebetween.

    Abstract: A system for compensating for the stresses applied to a bearing that rotatably supports a rotor shaft of a rotating machine relative to a stator of the machine. The system provides at least one sensor for measuring an input signal positioned on an element of the bearing, a module for acquiring the input signal configured to convert the input signal into a value of the deformation applied to the rolling bearing, a module for determining a compensation signal as a function of the deformation value, and an amplifier module configured to control a magnetic actuator rotatably supporting the shaft of the rotor and including at least one electromagnet, the amplifier module being configured to convert the compensation signal into a voltage signal transmitted to the electromagnet of the magnetic actuator, the magnetic actuator being configured to exert a force on the rotor shaft as a function of the voltage signal.

    Abstract: A radial magnetic bearing assembly having an unsymmetrical stator. The assembly comprises fewer or smaller electromagnets, and thus capacity, in the two lower quadrants below the rotor in use, in comparison to the electromagnets, and thus capacity, in the two upper quadrants above the rotor in use. This creates space in the two lower quadrants that can advantageously be used to move for example instrumentation and cooling from other places of the assembly to make the bearing assembly compactor, and also to be able to put instrumentation and cooling where it is best needed, close to the rotor.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lamination stack used in a rotating electrical machine. The method includes providing naked sheets made of ferritic material; preparing both sides of each sheet so as to obtain a determined surface roughness; coating at least one side of each sheet with an chemically protective electrically insulating material; stacking the coated sheets; compressing the stack obtained; heating the compressed stack at a temperature above the melting temperature of the insulating material; and cooling down the compressed stack so as to form an integral lamination stack consisting of alternating sheets of ferritic material and layers of insulating material. The invention also relates to an electrical machine comprising such a lamination stack.

    Abstract: A balancing method for balancing at high speed a flexible rotor of a rotary machine, the rotary machine having a stator, and the rotor being supported in the stator by at least two radial magnetic bearings. The balancing method including a step of placing the rotor inside the stator, a step of performing at least one first run in order to identify amplitude and angular location of the unbalance in a first speed range below critical speed, a step of placing first balancing masses inside the rotor on predefined first balancing planes, a step of performing at least one second run in order to identify amplitude and angular location of the unbalance in a second speed range above critical speed, and a step of placing second balancing masses inside the rotor on predefined second balancing planes.

    Abstract: A thrust disc for a magnetic bearing, wherein the thrust disc comprises: a body, which is adapted to be mounted on a shaft and which has a first offset yield strength and a first magnetic permeability, and at least one flange which is fixed to the body in a position where it can interact with a thrust stator in order to form a magnetic bearing and which has a second offset yield strength and a second magnetic permeability; wherein the first offset yield strength is higher than the second offset yield strength; and wherein the first magnetic permeability is smaller than the second magnetic permeability. Additionally, the magnetic bearing can be equipped with such a thrust disc. An apparatus can be equipped with such a magnetic bearing.
