Magnetic bearing

摘要

A magnetic bearing includes a base, a spindle rotatably mounted onto the base and a magnetic portion mounted between the base and the spindle to provide a magnetic repulsion that suspends the spindle. The magnetic portion further includes an inner magnetic portion and an outer magnetic portion that repulse against each other. The outer magnetic portion is located around the inner magnetic portion so that the inner magnetic portion and the spindle are suspended. Therefore, mechanical friction in the magnetic bearing is minimized.
