The stator holds the rotor rotatably in the axial direction by a field current flowing through the coil. The magnetic bearing includes a cylindrical inner magnet fixed to the rotor and a cylindrical outer magnet fixed to the housing and surrounding the inner magnet, and holds the rotor rotatably in the radial direction. The rotor has a stepped surface facing the axial direction.

Abstract: A structure self-adjusting type vehicle-mounted magnetic suspension flywheel battery coping with multiple operation modes and an operating method thereof are provided. An ant-nest type channel is formed in a radiator of the flywheel battery along a circumferential direction, and a plurality of counterweight magnetic adsorption devices are symmetrically embedded in a flywheel lower sphere. When the flywheel battery operates in a charging mode, a standby mode or a discharging mode, the operation mode of the motor is flexibly changed according to different recovered energy levels or output energy levels, and the loss in the magnetic bearing system is reduced through matching of different types of magnetic bearings according to different disturbance levels. The low-loss, high-safety and stable operation of the vehicle-mounted magnetic suspension flywheel battery in various operation modes can be realized.

Abstract: An electromagnetic rotary drive includes a rotor including a magnetically effective core surrounded by a stator. The stator has poles arranged around the magnetically effective core and each of the poles is delimited by an end face. The rotor is capable of being magnetically driven without contact in an operating state about an axial direction, and is capable of being magnetically levitated without contact with respect to the stator. The rotor is configured to be magnetically levitated in a radial plane and is passively magnetically stabilized in the axial direction against tilting. The magnetically effective core has a rotor height which is a maximum extension of the magnetically effective core in the axial direction, the rotor height being greater than a stator pole height defined by a maximum extension of the end faces in the axial direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a flywheel on a floating vessel includes a support for the flywheel; and a tilt sensor for measuring an angle of slope relative to the Earth, the tilt sensor being arranged to detect a change of an angle of slope of the floating vessel relative to the Earth. The apparatus further includes a driver for manoeuvring the support relative to the floating vessel, based on the measured angle of slope from the tilt sensor, wherein the driver is operable to manoeuvre the support so as to counteract a change of an angle of slope of the flywheel relative to the Earth due to the detected change of an angle of slope of the floating vessel.

Abstract: Methods and systems for realizing a high throughput wafer positioning system with high positioning accuracy are presented herein. The high throughput, high accuracy wafer positioning system is employed to measure structural and material characteristics (e.g., material composition, dimensional characteristics of structures and films, etc.) associated with different semiconductor fabrication processes. In one aspect, iron core linear motor assemblies are arranged in a magnetically opposed configuration such that the magnetic attraction forces inherent to each opposing iron core linear motor assembly largely cancel one another. The reduced force applied to sensitive stage frame elements, in turn, reduces induced deformations and stage positioning errors. In some embodiments, a wafer positioning system includes stacked magnetically opposed long stroke stages. In some of these embodiments, both magnetically opposed long stroke stages employ magnet tracks mechanically coupled to the intermediate frame of the stacked stage assembly.
