AI Technical Summary
In existing magnetic levitation bearings, the protective bearing is prone to failure due to excessive impact force when the rotor shaft falls, leading to damage to other components.
A protective bearing assembly is designed, including a first protective mechanism and an optional second protective mechanism. By placing a damping element between the fixing member and the protective bearing, radial and axial buffering forces are provided to absorb the impact energy when the rotor shaft falls.
It improves the energy efficiency of rotor shaft buffering, reduces the risk of damage to protective bearings, extends service life, and simplifies the overall structural layout of the machine.
