Abstract

A measurement testing setup of the characteristic properties for high temperature superconducting bearing (HTSB) systems is introduced in this paper. The equipment setup can measure the radial and axial forces, temperature, oscillation and rotary speed of the HTSB simultaneously, so the relation between these properties can be investigated. For example, the decrease of the radial and axial forces, and the increase of the temperature can be measured and analyzed during different rotary speeds of the permanent magnetic rotor. The measurement ranges for the radial and axial force will reach 5 kN and 10 kN. The temperature of the superconductors in HTSB can then be controlled by adjusting the air press inside the dewar which is an easier method compared with a cryocooler.
