Abstract

This invention discloses a magnetic bearing device having a control coil which supports a rotor in a vertical direction and a current controller which increases control current according to an increase in the clearance between the control coil and the rotor. The current controller includes a gain controller which controls the control current with a larger gain when clearance between the control coil and the rotor is less than a certain distance, and with a smaller gain when clearance between the control coil and the rotor is more than that distance.
