Abstract

An apparatus for correcting imbalance of a rotor suspended by a magnetic bearing system including a displacement sensor for detecting a displacement of the rotor. An imbalance correcting circuit applies a trial imbalance correcting signal to the magnetic bearing system. A command computer applies an amount of correction to the imbalance correcting circuit and calculates an influence factor of the imbalance correcting signal on the basis of outputs from the displacement sensor before and after the imbalance correcting signal is applied to the magnetic bearing system, so as to cause the imbalance correcting circuit to apply a predetermined imbalance correcting signal produced from the influence factor to the magnetic bearing system, thereby minimizing the output of the displacement sensor to correct mass-imbalance of the rotor.
