The magnetic bearing-rotor system has the ability to support objects by electromagnetic forces without mechanical contact and lubrication process. These represent typical products of mechatronics in the sense that together with mechanical components they include electronic elements such as sensors, power amplifiers, a controller and an amount of software that determines their intelligent operation. In this book, the equations of motion of a rigid unbalanced asymmetrical rotor supported by magnetic bearings are derived via energy method, and transformed to a state-space form for optimal and...
