A magnetic bearing apparatus and a method for providing at least one stabilizing force in a magnetic bearing structure with a superconducting magnetic assembly (12, 42, 82, 102) and a magnetic assembly (30, 60, 92, 112), by providing a superconducting magnetic member (14, 46, 84, 104) in the superconducting magnetic assembly with a plurality of domains (18, 54, 86, 106) and arranging said superconducting magnetic member such that at least one domain has a domain C-axis vector alignment (20, 56, 88, 108) angularly disposed relative to a reference axis (38, 66, 96, 118) of the magnetic member in the magnetic assembly. |
