Abstract
Rotary bodies possessing, in common, radially passive and axially active magnetic centering devices, eddy current dampers, emergency support systems, a drive motor and a motor switching sensor, and an axial velocity sensor to send correction signals to the axially active magnetic centering device with all of these members positioned at the maximum permitted axial limits, either inside or outside the rotor wall, whether the rotor is of an internal or external configuration.
