    摘要: Disclosed is a magnetic-fluid momentum sphere, which is used for satellite attitude adjustment. The magnetic-fluid momentum sphere comprises stators and a spherical shell. The stators are classified into three groups, axes of the three groups of stators are orthogonal to each other, each group comprises two stators arranged symmetrically about the center of the spherical shell, and the inner surfaces of the stators are spherical surfaces. The spherical shell is formed by combining two hemispherical shells, the material of the spherical shell is a non-ferromagnetic material, the inner surfaces of the stators closely adhere to the outer surface of the spherical shell, there is no relative movement between the spherical shell and the inner surfaces of the stators, and the spherical shell is filled with magnetic fluid. The magnetic-fluid momentum sphere achieves a small size and mass, low costs, and small coupling among the axes.

    摘要: An acceleration detection gyro apparatus is of the electrostatic supporting type. This gyro apparatus can be made inexpensive, long in life, excellent in durability and can be applied to a wide variety of fields. A gyro rotor (20) is supported relative to a gyro case (21) by an electrostatic supporting force in a non-contact fashion and rotated about the spin axis along the Z axis by a rotor driving system. The gyro rotor (20) is disk-shaped and constructed by forming metal thin film electrodes on both surfaces of a plate member made of preferably an insulating material. The gyro apparatus includes a slave control system for slaving a displacement of the gyro rotor (20) relative to the gyro case (21) in the Z-axis direction (spin axis direction) and a central position control system for slaving a displacement of the gyro rotor (20) in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

    摘要: A gyro rotor is freely suspended in a housing for simultaneous rotation about a spin axis and a pair of precession axes in turn orthogonal to the spin axis, by a pair of magnetic suspensions spaced along the spin axis. Each magnetic suspension comprises a magnetically permeable stator member and a cooperative magnetically permeable rotor member relatively arranged so as to define axially spaced annular magnetically permeable gaps. Each magnetic suspension includes a permanent magnet for producing a fixed or passive magnetic flux in each gap and an electromagnet coil for producing a controllable or active magnetic flux in each gap. The passive flux provides passive stabilized suspension of the rotor parallel to two of said axes, while the active flux provides active stabilized suspension of the rotor parallel to the third of said axes using a closed servo loop. The ratio of the axial distance between the annular magnetic gaps to the diameter thereof is such that the rotor tends to maintain its position upon tilt thereof; that is, the gyro exhibits substantially zero restoring spring rates about its sensing axes. By means of closed loop servo techniques including angular pick-offs and torquers, measures of rates of turn are provided in terms of torquer currents required to maintain the angular pick-off outputs at null values.

    摘要: A protective control system is provided in a magnetic suspension system having a permanent magnetic and an electro-magnetic circuit for levitating a spinning rotor; normally effective axial stability between limiting positions is provided by a feed back servo system supplying control currents to a pair of solenoids for modulating the permanent magnetic field in the suspension gaps. The physical support system and the suspended apparatus are protected from damage due to excessive axial oscillatory translation of the suspended rotor by detection of such non-linear events and by the removal of the suspension command for a suitable time period. The suspension control is then returned to its initial state and is again set into operation to translate the suspended element asymptotically and smoothly to its desired central location.

    摘要: A magnetic suspension system for efficiently supporting a rotor of relatively large radius and high available moment of inertia includes concentric stator and rotor elements spaced apart by narrow gaps of relatively large diameter and very small axial extent. A pair of spaced discs in the stator are oppositely polarized by a permanent magnet, their peripheral magnetic field strength being selectively augmented or diminished in predetermined sectors by electromagnet windings thereon. The rotor includes narrow ring faces juxtaposed to said discs, a permanent magnetic polarization being provided between the narrow ring faces. Means are provided for varying the relative electromagnetic contributions in the different sectors to maintain stability of rotor positioning with minimized electric power. SUThe present invention relates to magnetic suspension systems.Magnetic suspension systems have been described in various prior patents including, inter alia, the following U.S. patents to Joseph Lyman, assigned to the assignee of the present invention:______________________________________ Patent No. Issued ______________________________________ 3,428,371 February 18, 1969 3,473,852 October 21, 1969 3,860,300 January 14, 1975 ______________________________________ The present invention is directed to improved magnetic suspension systems for affording advantages as to manufacturing along with enhanced control of the suspended body. A plurality of like bearing elements may be constructed for inclusion in one end product for stable reference purposes or other purposes having stringent requirements as to the bearings. Furthermore, high bearing efficiency and control of alignment are to be provided without excessive mass of the suspension means.An object of this invention is to provide an improved magnetic suspension system providing great restoring force in response to the axial component of relative displacement between a stator portion and a rotor portion, providing great restoring force in response to any relative cocking (i.e. departure from parallelism) between a stator portion and a rotor portion, and providing efficient and effective control of the force components perpendicular to the axis of the stator portion to provide the optimum positioning of the rotor axis relative to the stator axis to meet the various conditions which may be encountered.A further object of this invention is to provide an improved magnetic suspension system which provides the aforementioned benefits without excessive drag from eddy currents induced in the rotor.Yet a further object is to provide an improved magnetic suspension system consisting of plural component wafers each having the aformentioned attributes.In order to meet these objects, there are provided in the present invention water-like bearing units each of relatively large diameter in contrast to its thickness, wherein the magnetic gaps at which the suspension forces are generated are formed at radii approaching the overall maximum radius of a wafer unit. In a preferred version, the rotor portion is arranged not within but rather surrounding the stator portion of the bearing wafer unit. In at least one of the two portions of one wafer unit (the stator portion or the rotor portion) an axially polarized annular magnet is provided between two pole pieces which provide parallel narrow ring-like poles to coact with a pair of narrow ring-like poles of the cooperating portion (the rotor portion or the stator portion) of the wafer. In the preferred construction an axially polarized permanent magnet is included in each of the two portions (the stator and the rotor) of the wafer, the axial sensing of the rotor magnet being opposite to that of the stator magnet. The result in any event is magnetic flux directed substantially radially outward at the annular gap at one side of the wafer unit and magnetic flux directed substantially radially inward at the annular gap at the opposite side of the wafer unit.

    摘要: A gyroscope including a rotating member which is supported by a pair of magnetic bearings. Each bearing has two detectors for providing signals representative of the relative position of the member with respect to a common axis of the two bearings along first and second directions perpendicular to the axis and to each other. A feed-back loop controls biasing means in each bearing assembly and includes, for each direction, a summation circuit which sums the signals from the detectors corresponding to that direction in the two bearings and applies correction signals increasing with the summed signals to the biasing means corresponding to the directions in the two bearings. A subtracting circuit subtracts the signals from the detectors corresponding to the considered direction in the two bearings and applied correction signals to the biasing means, but through a polarity inverter in one of the bearings.
