Abstract

A method and device for balancing magnetically suspended bodies wherein at the axial ends of the bodies are included two centering devices on the rotor side constituted by centered and excentric magnetic rings facing two centering devices on the stator side with centered and excentric magnetic rings, the magnetic field in the air gaps between the pairs of rings being made variable according to signals received from correction sensors of the axes and of the alignment.
