    摘要: A magnetic bearing device and a vacuum pump configured to measure with high sensitivity a natural vibration mode of a rotating body in a floating system using a magnetic bearing. The natural vibration to be measured is a bending mode of the rotating body, a natural vibration mode of the rotor blades, a vibration mode associated with the stator, and a rigid body mode of the rotating body. The natural vibration may be computed by a central processing unit (CPU) of a control device or may be computed externally. In this manner, the natural vibration mode can be detected with high sensitivity.

    摘要: There is provided a controller for magnetic levitation equipment comprising a plurality of current source modules for connecting to at least one power supply for direct current, DC, and said current source modules comprising current channels for actuating coils of the magnetic levitation equipment, and a controller device connected to the current source modules by a control connection for controlling switching of electric current by the current source modules to the current channels. The current source modules combine discrete components for amplifying and switching electric current to the current channels into a single package. In this way, manufacturing and maintenance of the controller is facilitated, since manufacturing and maintenance may be based on the current source modules instead of discrete components, e.g. gate drivers, IGBTs, power mosfets and diodes.

    摘要: A device (21) for controlling a spindle of a grinding machine (1) is disclosed. The spindle includes a rotor (5) supported by two radial magnetic bearings, one axial bearing, and a grinding wheel (6). The device includes a storage means (22) for storing control coefficients of the magnetic bearings. The device includes a means for determining a type of the grinding wheel and a type of the rolling bearing ring. A selection means (23) selects control coefficients associated with the determined types of grinding wheel and of rolling bearing ring from among the control coefficients stored in the storage means. The device also includes a means (23) for controlling the radial and axial magnetic bearings. Said means controlling the radial and axial (12) magnetic bearings on the basis of the control coefficients of the determined types of grinding wheel and of rolling bearing ring.
