    • Delevitation modelling of an active magnetic bearing supported rotor 

      Van Rensburg, Jan Jacobus Janse (2014)
      The problem addressed in this thesis is the delevitation modelling of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) supported rotor. A system model needs to be developed that models the highly non-linear interaction of the rotor with ...
    • Investigation into backup bearing life using delevitation severity indicators 

      Gouws, Jacob Marthinus (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
      Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are inherently flawed in terms of possible failure from either mechanical, electronic or software components. Component failure could induce a rotor delevitation event (RDE) during operation ...
