The motivation behind this idea was to eliminate vibrations in rotating machinery due to the axial load. Common conception of such a bearing provides a single component of the electromagnetic force, which is not enough to reduce transverse and lateral vibrations of the armature. The proposed design allows for avoiding wobbling of the disc with the use of a few axial force components that are able to actively compensate the axial load and stabilise the disc in a balanced position. Before a real device is manufactured, a virtual prototype should be prepared. The accurate numerical model will provide essential knowledge about the performance of the axial magnetic bearing.}, type={Article}, title={Numerical model of the axial magnetic bearing with six cylindrical poles}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/109924/PDF/AEE-68-1-2019_art_15.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aee.2019.125990}, keywords={Active Magnetic Bearing, Axial Magnetic Bearing, finite element method, numerical model, COMSOL Multiphysics}, }
