Magnetic bearing device

A magnetic bearing device comprising:

• a stator arrangement having at least two stators and a rotor,
• wherein each stator comprises a coil apparatus with at least one coil former, magnets and a flux conducting device,
• the rotor is movable relative to the stator arrangement at least along a longitudinal direction of the stator arrangement, and
• the stator arrangement and the rotor are configured such that, when electrical energy is applied to the coil apparatus, a magnetic force is applied to the rotor to form an air gap between the stator arrangement and the rotor,
• the flux conducting device of each of the at least two stators comprising flux conducting components and flux conducting bars, the flux conducting bars being arranged on the flux conducting components and being at least partially arranged opposite to upper and lower end surfaces of the coil apparatuses of the at least two stators, respectively, and
• wherein a smallest distance between the flux conducting bars in the longitudinal direction of the stator arrangement is in a range between zero and a distance between the coil apparatuses of the at least two stators.
