“…The absence of contact between an AMB and rotor avoids wearing and the need of lubrication, in addition, AMB dynamics is relatively easy to control [21]. For this, many researchers have reported results about showing the viability for AMB application in vibration control of rotating machinery since the 1990's [16,26] until recent days [1,13,20,28]. Piezoelectric actuators are other devices with an increasing application in rotor systems, they represent an alternative because their main characteristics: very precise movement, compact, high force, low energy consumption, quick response time, no electromagnetic interference.…”
