があった。In the conventional superconducting magnetic bearing device, as described above, since the non-magnetic copper or stainless steel is usually used as the superconducting support material, the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is not uniform. If the rotating shaft vibrates, an eddy current is generated in the superconducting support member during rotation, resulting in loss. In addition, since the magnet support is also made of copper, the gap between the superconductors is large, and the superconducting magnetic field created by the superconductor becomes uneven due to variations in the superconducting characteristics within the superconductor. There is a problem that an eddy current is generated and a loss occurs.

Figure 2 shows the rotational loss measured as a
Shown in FIG. 2 shows a case where GFRP which is an electrical insulating material is used for the superconducting support material 14 and a case where a conventional copper support material which is a good electrical conductor is used. A fluctuating magnetic field of ± 100 G is applied to the superconductor and the superconducting support. As a result of the loss measurement, for example, the loss is about 0.8 W when the copper support is used at a rotation speed of 2000 rpm, and is about 0.2 W in the case of the GFRP support, which is about 1/4 lower than the copper support. It can be seen that the effect of using the electrical insulator is great. Here, an experiment was described in which the support material on the permanent magnet side was made of stainless steel, but it is needless to say that the loss can be further reduced by using GFRP.
