- According to a first embodiment the axial electromagnetic means comprise an axial bearingless motor.
- According to a second embodiment the axial electromagnetic means comprise an active axial magnetic bearing.
- Separators may be provided between the radial bearingless motors and the axial electromagnetic means.
- More specifically the radial bearingless motors each comprise a rotor portion having a plurality of pole pairs armatures and a stator portion comprising a core with slots for receiving windings configured to impress a motor torque and a radial bearing force.
- Separate windings may be provided in the slots of the stator portion for impressing a motor torque and an axial bearing force.
- Alternatively common windings may be provided in the slots of the stator portion for impressing a motor torque and an axial bearing force.
- The radial bearingless motors comprise a rotor portion chosen among an induction rotor, a permanent magnet rotor, a hysteresis rotor and a reluctance rotor.
- According to a specific embodiment the centrifugal compressor portion comprises a wheel at a first end of the shaft and control circuits associated with the radial bearingless motors and the axial electromagnetic means are located at a second end of the shaft and are connected to the radial bearingless motors and the axial electromagnetic means via a feedthrough.

Therotor 181 carries differentstructural elements 183 depending on the chosen principle (permanent magnet, induction, switched reluctance, hysteresis). - Basically the
stator windings 185 achieve both functions of torque windings and suspension force windings. As an example if two magnetic fields, which may be created by two winding sets with a difference in the pole pair number of one, are superposed, a torque and a radial force will be produced. It is thus possible for example to combine a 4-pole motor winding of a reluctance motor with a 2-pole bearing winding, but many other embodiments are possible. - U.S. Pat. No. 6,727,618 B1 discloses an example of bearingless switched reluctance motor.

The axialmagnetic bearing 130 could also comprisestator portions annular coil FIG. 4 or having an E-shape with two concentric annular coils. - As mentioned earlier reference numeral may also designate an axial bearingless motor. In such a case the embodiment of
FIG. 4 comprises first and secondradial bearingless motors radial bearingless motors axial bearingless motor 130 also comprises adisc armature 131 integral with theshaft 15 and first andsecond stator portions disc armature 131, but thewindings -
FIG. 5 shows in perspective an example of a possible configuration of anaxial bearingless motor 130. Theaxial bearingless motor 130 ofFIG. 5 comprises arotor portion 131 having a plurality ofpole pairs armatures 138 and first andsecond stator portions slots FIG. 5 ) configured to impress a motor torque and an axial bearing force, the first andsecond stator portions rotor portion 131. - In the
stator portions - Alternatively the needed bearing force and motor torque may be generated in each coil by combined windings. In such a case a single coil will carry jointly the required motor and bearing ampere-turns.
- A plurality of
pole pairs armatures 138 are shown inFIG. 5 by way of example. However therotor 131 may carry different structural elements depending on the chosen principle (permanent magnet, induction, switched reluctance, hysteresis). - As a non-limiting example, the
stator 132 and therotor 131 withpermanent magnets 138 may constitute a permanent magnet motor, where thepermanent magnets 138 on the rotor surface produce an axial force in a first direction (upward direction in the configuration ofFIG. 5 ), whereas thestator 133 androtor 131 may constitute a synchronous reluctance motor, where the winding currents of the synchronous reluctance motor produce an adjustable axial force in the opposite direction with respect to the first direction (downward direction in the configuration ofFIG. 5 ). The axial position of the rotor can thus be controlled by the currents of the synchronous motor. However as mentioned above other combinations of motor types may be chosen as soon as theaxial bearingless motor 130 achieves the two functions of impressing a motor torque and an axial bearing force. - Active radial
magnetic bearings magnetic bearings rotor armature stator windings axial bearingless motor 130. - However as mentioned above first and second
radial bearingless motors axial bearingless motor 130 or a thrust magnetic bearing. - Although preferred embodiments have been shown and described, it should be understood that any changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
