Suspension Force Control System Design and Simulation for Bearingless Brushless DC Motor

Abstract:

A bearingless brushless DC motor is a new type of high performance motor, which integrates the function of magnetic bearings into a brushless DC motor. In this paper, the suspension force control system is improved and optimization designed according to the radial suspension force mathematical model. The bearingless brushless DC motor control system model is established with the aid of Matlab/Simulink software. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the rotor shaft is stably suspended without the mechanical contacts. The proposed suspension control system is found suitable to realize the stable suspension of the rotor in the bearingless brushless DC motor.
