Magnetic Bearings

Magnetic bearings use electromagnetic forces to levitate and support a rotating shaft without physical contact, eliminating friction, wear, and the need for lubrication. They rely on active control systems with electromagnets, sensors, and controllers to maintain precise rotor positioning, often backed by auxiliary bearings for safety. These bearings excel in high-speed applications like turbines, compressors, pumps, and flywheels in industries such as power generation, aerospace, and vacuum systems.
