Abstract
A machine is provided, including a magnetic thrust bearing having a rotor portion, a stator portion, and a housing. The housing substantially surrounds the stator portion and the rotor portion. The rotor portion includes a thrust disk adapted to be circumferentially attached to a rotor and to rotate with the rotor. The thrust disk defines a thrust disk first side and a thrust disk second side, the first side being opposite to the second side.
