For electrical motors, three translational (x–y–z) and two tilting (θx–θy) rotor motions must be restricted. Ball bearings are commonly used to restrict motion; however, they cannot be applied to high-speed motors with largeDN(product of bearing diameter and speed) values. The rotor in this study has an aerostatic bearing support in radial (x–y) and tilting (θx–θy) motions. However, if an additional magnetic bearing or actuator is applied to the motor for axial motion control (z), the motor size and shaft length increases. To avoid this problem, a novel bearingless motor structure with a magnetically integrated bearing function is proposed in this paper. The structure combines the functions of both torque production (θz) and axial force generation (z) in one unit. It uses only a set of three-phase slotless windings and three-phase voltage source inverter. Such bearingless motors are referred to as single-drive bearingless motors. Thed-axis andq-axis currents regulate the axial suspension force and torque, respectively. This paper presents the structure, operation principle, 3D-finite element calculation results, and experimental results. The fabricated prototype bearingless motor with a shaft diameter of 30 mm can actively control the axial motion of the rotor at 60,000 rpm, that is, with aDNvalue of 1,800,000.
