Abstract:
The core inside a combined radial-axial magnetic bearing is stacked with coated laminations each equipped with at least one radial cut. These cuts prevent the inducement of circulating currents caused by varying axial control fluxes through the central hole of the stack. Magnetic symmetry is preserved by pivoting every lamination with respect to the previous one over a particular angle. This arrangement not only reduces the losses in the bearing, but improves the performance of the axial channel as well.
Abstract:
The core of a combined radial -axial magnetic bearing is stacked with coated laminations each equipped with at least one radial cut ( 9 ). These cuts ( 9 ) prevent the induction of circulating currents caused by varying axial control fluxes through the central hole of the lamination stack. Magnetic symmetry is preserved by rotating every lamination with respect to the previous one.

Abstract:
A turbocompressor system comprising a high speed motor (10) comprising a rotor (12) mounted in a rotative manner relative to the stator, whereby on said rotor (12) one or more impellers (11) are directly fixed, said stator comprising active motor structures and a shell (7), comprising a ferromagnetic stator core (6) and a winding being constructed as toroidally wound coils (5), said shell (7) being constructed in such a manner as to create additional open space between said stator core (6) and said shell (7), constituting a cooling channel (15) through which process gas is passed axially for directly cooling said active motor structures and the rotor (12), prior to compression by said one or more impellers (11).
