The numerical evaluation of the levitation force in a hydrostatic bearing with alternating poles

TLDR: In this article, the magnetic field and the levitation force produced by a rotor with alternating magnetic poles in a magnetic fluid hydrostatic bearing are numerically evaluated using a 3D-FEM program, MagNet 5.0.

Abstract: The magnetic field and the levitation force produced by a rotor with alternating magnetic poles in a magnetic fluid hydrostatic bearing is numerically evaluated. For the magnetic field computation has used a 3D-FEM program, MagNet 5.0 and for the numerical evaluation of the levitation force the MatLab program has been used.
