An on-line active technique for suppressing rotor vibration is proposed. Electromagnetic actuators are mounted on the housing of a ball bearing for generating counter forces to cancel the transverse vibrations due to imbalance, misalignment, and so forth. Controllers based on feedback structure, feedforward structure and hybrid structure are investigated. The multiple channel active control systems are implemented on the platform of a digital signal processor. Numerical simulation and experimental investigations indicate that the proposed methods are effective in suppressing the periodic disturbances. In particular, the hybrid control by using feedback linear quadratic gaussian control and feedforward least mean square algorithm with synthetic reference achieves the best performance in terms of vibration attenuation and convergence speed.
