Stable thrust on a finite-sized magnet above a Meissner superconducting torus
Jose-Luis Perez-Diaz, Efren Diez-Jimenez, Ignacio Valiente-Blanco +1
Forces and torques exerted by a superconducting torus on a permanent magnet have been mapped. It is demonstrated that stable orbits exist. Moreover, provided that the magnet remain…
Dynamics of a Superconducting Linear Slider
I. Valiente-Blanco, J. L. Perez-Diaz, E. Diez-Jimenez
In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a one degree-of-freedom (DOF) contactless linear slider based on superconducting magnetic levitation is experimentally analyzed. The device i…
Improving Resolution and Run Outs of a Superconducting Noncontact Device for Precision Positioning
I. Valiente-Blanco, E. Diez-Jimenez, J. Sanchez-Garcia-Casarrubios +1
This paper describes the improvement of the performance of a long-stroke high-precision positioning slider suitable for cryogenic environments due to the application of a set of de…
Characterization and Improvement of Axial and Radial Stiffness of Contactless Thrust Superconducting Magnetic Bearings
Ignacio Valiente-Blanco, Efren Diez-Jimenez, Cristian Cristache +2
Contactless bearings based on both permanent magnets and superconducting magnetic levitation are interesting to avoid all the tribological problems associated with contact at very…
