| Description | The NASA Glenn Research Center, the U.S. Army, Texas A&M University, and other industrial partners are continuing to work together to develop magnetic suspension technology to withstand the harsh environmental conditions inside current and future turbomachinery. In fiscal year 2002, our third-generation radial magnetic bearing successfully controlled rotor motion while at 1000 F (540 C) and 20 000 rpm. The ability to command the rotor s position while spinning at this speed was also demonstrated. Future work is planned to include radial bearing tests to 1100 F (593 C) and 30 000 rpm. In fiscal year 2003, we plan to test a high-temperature thrust bearing. |
