摘要 |
A magnetic bearing element contains a first bearing part attached to a shaft and a second, fixed-position, bearing part surrounding the first bearing part. One of the bearing parts contains an arrangement of a plurality of alternately polarized permanent magnetic elements between which there are ferromagnetic elements and the other bearing part contains a superconducting structure. This superconducting structure should have grains made of high-Tc superconducting material, whose respective grain size is larger than the thickness of each of the permanent magnetic elements. In addition, the rotor shaft should be made of a non-magnetic material. The rotor shaft may contain the bearing part with permanent magnetic elements or the structure with the high-Tc superconducting material.
