Bearings have important function in support and guiding of a movable object with respect to some stationary structure. In case of conventional axial bearings, need of lubrication, wear and tear, friction, temperature rise due to friction plays important role in efficiency of system. Life of components reduces with wear and tear. Magnetic bearing system overcomes and focuses on reducing these factors so as to increase efficiency of system. Non-contact type axial bearing is designed which is non-contact type, tends to negligible frictional losses with increasing efficiency of system. Also wear and tear will be less which will increase life of components. Interaction of magnets is of main concern in designing such system. Feasible and easy to calculate solution is found and used while calculating magnetic force between magnets. Also considered using an electromagnetic radial bearing to sustain radial loads produced in system and to keep rotating component in line with axis without contact. Further MATLAB software is used for effective and accurate calculation. Experimental magnetic force calculation is carried out to validate the theoretical results. Further non-contact type axial bearing system is designed.
