Abstract
Vibration in rotor systems significantly affects the operational reliability and lifetime of rotating machinery. Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) provide a promising solution by supporting rotors without physical contact, enabling active vibration control and improved performance. This manuscript reviews the fundamentals of vibration in rotor systems, examines the principles of AMBs for vibration suppression, and presents a detailed analysis of control strategies employed for vibration mitigation using AMBs. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of AMB-based active vibration control in reducing rotor system vibrations. The study concludes with future prospects and challenges in integrating AMBs for rotor dynamics enhancement.
