This study focuses on the vibration of the rotor supported by a repulsive-type passive magnetic bearing. It evaluates the restoring force of a repulsive magnetic bearing numerically by considering the effects of magnetic anisotropies of the inner and the outer magnets. The study mainly investigates the occurrences of linear and nonlinear parametric characteristics, and the excitation forces for each pattern of magnetic anisotropies. Moreover, it clarifies the effects of each magnetic anisotropy pattern on the occurrences of various resonance phenomena theoretically and experimentally.
