TURBINE MIT EINER MAGNETISCH GELAGERTEN WELLE

摘要

The bearings (3, 4) of the shaft (2) of a turbine (1) have each a first bearing part (3a, 4a) joined to the shaft and a second fixed bearing part (3b, 4b). In order to make the bearings (3, 4) inherently stable, one of both bearing parts (3a, 3b; 4a, 4b) has a permanent magnetic element (40) and the other bearing part (3a, 3b; 4a, 4b) has a high temperature superconductive material. By pairing a permanent magnetic element (40) to a high temperature superconductive material in the bearings (3, 4) of the turbine shaft (2), restoring magnetic forces are generated when the shaft (2) deviates from a set position, so that the shaft (2) is mounted without friction in an intrinsically stable manner.
