FAQ: Magnetic Couplings, FAQ: Magnetic Disc Couplings

Do magnetic couplings self support or float?

Magnetics is a tricky topic that lends itself to ideas of levitation. Unfortunately, magnetic fields are never perfectly balanced and will always cause assemblies to shift to the lowest energy state. Consequently, all magnetic couplings require full mechanical support through radial and thrust bearings.
