A magnetic bearing apparatus for supporting a rotational shaft includes a magnetic bearing, a rotation sensor, a controller which controls an electric current flown to an electromagnet, and at least one vibration sensor. The controller controls the electric current flown to the electromagnet as follows: in a first control mode, a first electric current is flown to the electromagnet for levitating and supporting the rotational shaft; and in a second control mode, a second electric current is flown to the electromagnet in place of the first electric current at a first periodic timing which is detected by the rotation sensor so that vibration is reduced to a lower level than a first vibration value detected in the first control mode in at least one of setting location of the at least one vibration sensor. |
