Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic bearings are nowadays considered a mature technology that is gaining relevant attention in several industrial fields, thanks to numerous remarkable advantages. The number of applications exploiting this technology is continuously increasing, as is the development of novel layouts and actuation architectures. In this scenario, intense research efforts are currently dedicated to the investigation of new solutions, aimed at the optimization of some relevant aspects, such as the geometry and hardware component optimization, the combination of active and passive magnetic bearings, and the control strategies. This Special Issue is aimed at point out the emerging evolutions and new perspectives of this technology, encouraging original contributions related, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Active and passive magnetic bearings (for linear and rotating systems)
- Electrodynamic bearings
- Hardware components (sensors and power amplifiers)
- Power losses reduction
- Scaling issues
- Control strategies
- Touch-down bearings
- Materials
- Hardware reduction

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
