Bearingless motor’s radial suspension force control based on flux equivalent with virtual winding current analysis method

A bearingless motor has two sets of intercoupling stator windings, namely torque windings and sus-pension force windings. The decoupling control of the two sets is difficult and a key technology to stable operation for a bearingless motor. In this paper, a simple, reliable and accurate analysis method is put forward using the concept of flux equivalent with virtual winding currents. By this method, the suspension operation condition PB=PM±1 for bearingless motors is testified, and under the rotation conditi...
