magnet pole pairs are often lined up with the principle
coordinate axes x and y (vertical and horizontal)
 control equations are simplified

Current vs. Voltage Control
Voltage Control:
- more accurate model
- better stability
- low stiffness easier to realize
- voltage amplifier often more convenient
- possible to avoid using position sensor
Current Control:
- simple control plant description
- simple PD or PID control
Flux Control:
- very uncommon
Active Magnetic Bearings
Addressing of Assumptions
Uncertainties in bearing model
- leakage flux outside of air gap
- air gap is bigger than assumed
- iron cross section is non-uniform
Active Magnetic Bearings
Types of Losses
Air Losses
- air friction  divide shaft into sections
Copper Losses (Stator)

- wire resistance  PCu  RCu i
Iron Losses (Rotor)
- hysteresis (higher w/ switching amplifier)
- eddy currents
