ACTI VE M AGNETI C BEARI NGS (AM B) A magnetic bearing is a bearing which supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving machinery without physical contact‚ for example‚ they can levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion without friction or wear. In active magnetic bearings (AMB) a stable equilibrium is achieved by means of one or more control loops. The use of control loop for maintaining the gap between the shaft and bearing differentiate the active

Compressors are similar to pump‚ both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ while some can be compressed‚ the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of compressors The main types of compressors are shown below: Compressor types Positive displacement Dynamic 1. Reciprocating. 2. Rotary 1.Centrifugal. 2. Axial
