Magneting Bearing Amplifier & Controller
Magnetic bearing technologies have many applications. These include vibration control and damping; very high speed spindles; flywheel power storage; vacuum, clean room or harsh environments; levitated vehicles; rotating machinery diagnostics; multiple degrees of freedom; gyroscopes; and precision positioning, to name just a few.
Magnetic bearing and associated motor/actuator applications lend themselves to numerous design options. Designers may choose between passive or active bearings; integrated (self) bearing options; force reacting and force creating devices; unique rotor - stator configurations; and multi-pole, multi-phase, and slotless configurations. Depending on the application, performance requirements vary over a wide range. Our experienced staff will work with you to tailor a solution meeting your specific requirements. PCI is uniquely positioned to meet the requirements of magnetic bearing (and actuation) designers for the following.
- Multiple channel amplifier configurations
- Multiple phase control
- Flux vector control
- A wide range of power delivered with unexcelled fidelity and bandwidth
(0.75 kVA to 3000 kVA peak; 0.5 W to 700 W rms) - Integrated motor drive, magnet control, and two or four quadrant power management possibilities
