Abstract

An axial bearing device includes an annular electrical sheet arrangement having individual sheets which protrude radially outward. In addition, an electrical coil is provided in the axial bearing device and is inserted into the electrical sheet arrangement to generate a magnetic field in the electrical sheet arrangement. The electric sheet arrangement includes at least two concentric electrical sheet rings. All adjacent electrical sheets of each electrical sheet ring substantially abut at the inner circumference of the respective electrical sheet ring.

Claims (17)

1. A magnetic axial bearing device, comprising:

an annular electrical sheet arrangement having individual sheets which protrude radially outward, with adjacent sheets forming a gap in a circumferential direction, said electrical sheet arrangement having at least two concentric electrical sheet rings, with essentially all the adjacent sheets of each electrical sheet ring meeting at the inner circumference of the electrical sheet ring; and

an electrical coil inserted into the electrical sheet arrangement for producing a magnetic field in the electrical sheet arrangement,

wherein the electrical sheet arrangement has at least three concentric electrical sheet rings, with an outer one, an inner one, and at least one middle one, wherein the at least one middle one of the electrical sheet rings having a depression for insertion of the electrical coil, wherein the depression runs through at least one of the inner sheet ring or the at least one middle sheet ring.

2. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 1 , wherein the middle one of the electrical sheet rings has an opening in an axial direction for feeding through cables for the electrical coil.

3. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 1 , further comprising an annular pot accommodating the electrical sheet arrangement.

4. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 3 , further comprising at least one retaining ring for retaining the electrical sheet arrangement in the pot.

5. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 4 , wherein the electrical sheet arrangement has three concentric electrical sheet rings, said at least one retaining ring having a T-shaped cross-section and being configured to retain an innermost and an outermost one of the electrical sheet rings in an axial direction in form-locked fashion in the pot.

6. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 5 , wherein a middle one of the electrical sheet rings is retained in form-locked fashion in the pot by the innermost and outermost electrical sheet rings.

7. The magnetic axial bearing device of claim 1 , further comprising a resin to fill interstices between the sheets of the electrical sheet arrangement.

8. An electrical machine, comprising a magnetic axial bearing device including an annular electrical sheet arrangement having individual sheets which protrude radially outward, with adjacent sheets forming a gap in a circumferential direction, said electrical sheet arrangement having at least two concentric electrical sheet rings, with essentially all the adjacent sheets of each electrical sheet ring meeting at the inner circumference of the electrical sheet ring, and an electrical coil inserted into the electrical sheet arrangement for producing a magnetic field in the electrical sheet arrangement, wherein the electrical sheet arrangement has at least three concentric electrical sheet rings, with an outer one, an inner one, and at least one middle one, wherein the at least one middle one of the electrical sheet rings having a depression for insertion of the electrical coil, wherein the depression runs through at least one of the inner sheet ring or the at least one middle sheet ring.

9. The electric machine of claim 8 , wherein the middle one of the electrical sheet rings has an opening in an axial direction for feeding through cables for the electrical coil.

10. The electric machine of claim 8 , wherein the magnetic axial bearing device has an annular pot accommodating the electrical sheet arrangement.

11. The electric machine of claim 10 , wherein the magnetic axial bearing device has at least one retaining ring for retaining the electrical sheet arrangement in the pot.

12. The electric machine of claim 11 , wherein the electrical sheet arrangement has three concentric electrical sheet rings, said at least one retaining ring having a T-shaped cross-section and being configured to retain an innermost and an outermost one of the electrical sheet rings in an axial direction in form-locked fashion in the pot.

13. The electric machine of claim 12 , wherein a middle one of the electrical sheet rings is retained in form-locked fashion in the pot by the innermost and outermost electrical sheet rings.

14. The electric machine of claim 8 , wherein the magnetic axial bearing device has a resin to fill interstices between the sheets of the electrical sheet arrangement.
