A special test rig is designed where the 4 poles - AMB is able to generate forces up to 1900 N. Such approaches are investigated and described in details. The main contribution of the work is the characterization of magnetic forces by using two experimental different experimental approaches. This is the main focus of this paper, where an intelligent AMB is being developed with the aim of aiding the accurate identification of damping and stiffness coefficients of journal bearings and seals. The ability of measuring the electromagnetic bearing forces, or deriving them from measuring the magnetic flux, strongly contributes to the model validation and leads to novel approaches in identifying crucial rotor parameters. The experimental determination of linearity ranges is found and the characterization of magnetic forces with a high accuracy of less than 1% is achieved.Ībstract = "Parameter identification procedures and model validation are major steps towards intelligent machines supported by active magnetic bearings (AMB).
Advantages and drawbacks of the different methodologies are critically discussed. The high precision characterization of the magnetic forces are led by using different experimental tests: (I) by using hall sensors mounted directly on the poles (precise measurements of the magnetic flux) and by an auxiliary system, composed of strain gages and flexible beams attached to the rotor (II) by measuring the input current and bearing gap variations, monitoring the bearing input signals.
