Abstract
Disclosed is a method for calibrating at least one gap sensor, the at least one gap sensor being provided on a magnetic bearing supporting a floating body in a non-contact manner by an electromagnetic force, the at least one gap sensor being configured to detect a gap between the floating body and a reference object that serves as a positional reference for position control of the floating body. The method includes: constructing a transformation formula for transforming an output of the at least one gap sensor into the gap using three or more constraints that are set as conditions for associating the gap with the output of the at least one gap sensor.

A method for calibrating at least one gap sensor, the at least one gap sensor being provided on a magnetic bearing supporting a floating body in a non-contact manner by an electromagnetic force, the at least one gap sensor being configured to detect a gap between the floating body and a reference object that serves as a positional reference for position control of the floating body, the method comprising:
- constructing a transformation formula for transforming an output signal of the at least one gap sensor into the gap, using three or more constraints that are set as conditions for associating the gap with the output signal of the at least one gap sensor.
