The authors present a design of a magnetic bearing including ring permanent magnets and high-temperature superconductor (HTS) elements which ensure passive rotor stabilization. Various options of the bearing’s construction were considered; their power and stiffness properties were calculated. The bearing design with bipolar magnetic systems of central and peripheral ring permanent magnets with an opposite magnetization has a maximum load capability. The prototype of the bearing element confirming working-capacity of the proposed bearing construction was manufactured and tested.
