Switching control between three-coil and five-coil modes for six-pole active magnetic bearings

Six-pole active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have fewer poles than the more common eight-pole AMBs making it possible for them to be miniaturized and used in the development of small motors. In this paper, we propose a novel control method for the six-pole AMB, which switches between three-coil and five...
