Abstract
A magnetic suspension bearing includes a plurality of magnets enclosed in an outer and an inner enclosure respectively. These magnets are disposed staggeringly up and down remaining a gap between each pair of magnets so as to generate a magnetic suspension force produced form repulsion force between magnets of the same polarity. With this magnetic suspension bearing the shaft is able to rotate with high speed yet less generation of heat loss by friction to improve the durability of the bearing compared with a conventional pivot or ball baring.
Claims3
A magnetic suspension bearing comprising:
- an outer enclosure made of a magnetic conducting material, enclosing a plurality of magnets, wherein each magnet has a pole mounted in the outer enclosure and another pole emerged out of the outer enclosure;
- an inner enclosure made of a magnetic conducting material, enclosing a plurality of magnets, wherein each magnet has a pole mounted in the outer enclosure and another pole emerged out of the outer enclosure;
- an outer lid made of a magnetic shielding material, provided on one side of said outer enclosure for covering said outer enclosure to isolate the magnetism of the magnets;
- and
- an inner lid made of a magnetic shielding material, provided on one side of said inner enclosure for covering said inner enclosure to isolate the magnetism of the magnets,
- wherein the magnets of the outer and the inner enclosures are corresponding to each other to form a plurality of pairs of magnets enclosed therein, each magnet pair has two emerged poles with same magnetism facing to each other;
- wherein said magnets in said inner enclosure and said magnets in said outer enclosure are stacked up and down staggeringly with a gap remained between each facing magnet pair so that when an upper magnet pair has the magnet in the inner enclosure emerging longer than that in the outer enclosure, vice versa for an lower met pair.
