Abstract

A magnetic bearing body supports a rotating shaft using a combined electromagnetic force of a pair of control electromagnets without contact. A controller detects a control index value based on a first coil current passed through a coil of a first control electromagnet of the pair of control electromagnets which generates an electromagnetic force in the same direction as that of a load exerted on the rotating shaft, the control index value being an index of the degree of margin for error in control depending on a value of the first coil current. And the controller controls a middle value of a pair of coil currents passed through the respective corresponding coils of the pair of control electromagnets so that the control index value approaches a predetermined target index value.
