High-speed rotor systems with HTS bearings.

Author(s) : WERFEL F., ROTHFELD R., WIPPICH D., et al.

Summary

Engineering prototype high-speed wheel assemblies with passive high-temperature superconducting magnetic bearings were designed and fabricated to suspend a rotor and an optical device and rotate up to 180 000 rpm at 77 K. Measurements of bearing properties and wheel performance are presented. It is concluded that the superconducting magnetic bearings with integrated cooling devices are capable of providing reliable, long-life operation in high-speed rotating machines.
