| Sumario: | This paper deals with the optimization and the comparison of passive magnetic thrust bearings made up of radial stacks of permanent magnet rings. Various topologies are considered, depending on the polarization direction of the permanent magnet rings and the presence of back-iron. The coulombian approach and the method of image charges are used to determine the load capacity of topologies with back-iron. On this basis each topology is optimized in order to minimize the permanent magnet volume for a fixed load capacity, airgap thickness and remanent flux density. Varying these parameters, scaling laws of the optimum permanent magnet ring dimensions are derived to allow fast sizing and comparison of the topologies. The latter highlights that the topology with Halbach configuration and back-iron is the most performant, but that the topology with axial polarization is almost as good. |
