摘要：The main objective of the current paper is to present the electromagnetic and thermal analysis of an AMB which is controlled by a non-linear controller, taking into account the weight of the rotor. The system consists of a rotor and two pairs of electromagnets, each one placed on the vertical and horizontal axis respectively. A Fuzzy PID controller [Fig. 2] is used to control a pair of electromagnets (vertical or horizontal axis) of the AMB system and the rotor. The magnetic field simulation has been implemented through the ANSYS software and the control settings have been simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The interaction between these two programs is presented throughout this study. In order to define the dynamic modelling of the overall system, it is considered that the rotating magnetic field of the motor does not affect the AMB. The coil of the magnetic bearings is fed by a controlled power source. As it has already been mentioned above, the non-linear control model is implemented through a Fuzzy PID Controller, while the system is disrupted by a white noise signal for the simulation of the disturbances taking place during normal operation.
