Abstract
A magnetic bearing, comprising: a magnetic base; at least three actuator bobbins mounted on the magnetic base; and magnetic sensors associated with the actuator bobbins. At least one magnetic system amidst the magnetic actuators and the magnetic sensors comprises together: a coil holder; a coil wound up around the coil holder; and a connector device integrated to the coil holder and designed for plugging at least one wire. Additionally disclosed is an apparatus comprising such a magnetic bearing and a method for manufacturing such a magnetic bearing.
Claims16
A magnetic bearing, comprising:
- a magnetic base;
- at least three actuator bobbins mounted on the magnetic base;
- and
- magnetic sensors associated with the actuator bobbins;
- wherein at least one magnetic system amidst the actuator bobbins and the magnetic sensors comprises together:
- a coil holder;
- a coil wound up around the coil holder;
- and
- a connector device integrated to the coil holder and designed for plugging at least one wire.
A method for manufacturing a magnetic bearing, the magnetic bearing comprising:
- a magnetic base;
- at least three actuator bobbins mounted on the magnetic base;
- and
- magnetic sensors associated with the actuator bobbins;
- wherein at least one magnetic system amidst the actuator bobbins and the magnetic sensors comprises together:
- a coil holder;
- a coil wound up around the coil holder;
- and
- a connector device integrated to the coil holder and designed for plugging at least one wire,
- the method comprising steps of:
- a) positioning the coil holder devoid of coil in an automatic winding machine;
- b) plugging a first end of a wire destined to form the coil or coils into the coil holder;
- c) automatically winding the wire around the coil holder to form the coil or coils;
- d) plugging a second end of the wire into the coil holder;
- and
- e) integrating a connector device to the coil holder, such that the wire is automatically plugged into the connector device.
