This study deals with sliding-mode nonlinear observers for a flux-controlled active magnetic bearing (AMB) operated with zero-bias flux. The Lyapunov sliding-mode observer (LSMO) feedback designs are performed for the nonlinear AMB dynamics due to control voltage saturation. The nonlinear observers are designed to estimate the magnetic flux and rotor mass velocity. The observer designs are incorporated in equivalence implementation of the nonlinear state-feedback controller. The main design tools such as sliding-mode control, Lyapunov-based control are used in this framework. The proposed observers are verified by means of numerical simulations, and stability and effectiveness of the proposed observer-based feedback designs are shown.
