  • Abstract
    This paper presents an analysis of a magnetic suspension device which is used in place of mechanical bearings for the gyro rotors of inertial guidance systems. A formula for the suspension device´s strength is derived, the criteria for the device´s stability is given, and the device´s potential instability (when that criteria is violated) is explained. Data are given of an experiment which confirms the analysis of this instability.
