The sensor is an important part of the active magnetic bearing system, which directly affects the performance of the entire system. Compared with the eddy current sensor, inductive sensor has the advantages of low cost, high sensitivity, and is not sensitive to the electromagnetic environment; Influenced by the ambient temperature is small. In this paper, design research from two aspects of the sensor structure and circuit, and the sensor was tested and successfully used in maglev blower. This sensor design method can also be applied on other active magnetic bearings, such as magnetic levitation heart pumps, etc.
