| Bearing Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Active (AMB) | Active magnetic bearings (AMB) require a specialized control and software. The control system creates the possibility of recording bearing forces and rotor displacements that can be used to monitor process parameters. This information can be used to adjust and optimize performance due to process changes. Active magnetic bearings have higher stiffness and damping characteristics than similar size passive bearings. The control current for active magnetic bearings can be calculated by taking the square of the rotor-stator gap. | ||
| Passive (PMB) | Passive magnetic bearings (PMB) do not require control hardware or software for operation. They have lower stiffness and damping characteristics than similar size active bearings. Passive bearings can be constructed with permanent magnets, diamagnetic materials, electrodynamic effects, superconductors, or ferrofluids. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Configuration | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Radial | Bearings used for rotary motion where the primary external loads are in the radial direction, or perpendicular to the axis of rotation. | ||
| Axial | Axial or thrust bearings are used for rotary motion where the primary external loads are parallel to the axis of rotation. | ||
| Conical | Conical bearings are used when the bearing may be subjected to both radial and axial loads. These bearings are designed with a conical shaped stator and rotor. | ||
| Other | Other, unlisted bearing type. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Custom Design | Bearing is custom designed to meet application specifications. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
