Title: Magnetic damper, method of damping and turbomlecular pump
Inventor: BARRIE DUDLEY BREWSTER
IPC: F16F15/03
Filed: 2020-03-27
Abstract: Magnetic damper 5 for dampening radial movement of a rotor shaft 9, the damper having a magnetic flux-conductor 16 mounted to the rotor 9, and a magnet 30 and an electrical conductor ring 50 mounted to the stator. The stator may also have magnetic flux-conductors 40 for directing the magnetic field from the magnet to the conductor rings 50, which may be copper. As the rotor 9 moves radially, eddy current is generated on the conductor rings 50, dissipating the kinetic energy, dampening the variation. The magnet 30 may be an electromagnet. The magnetic flux conductors 16, 40 may be formed of a soft magnetic material with higher magnetic permeability and a lower electrical conductance than the conductor rings 50, having a relative magnetic permeability above 100. The amount of damping may be controlled by adjusting the electrical current in the electromagnet 30. Other aspects include a turbomolecular pump having said damper, and a method of damping.
