Design and Implementation of a Novel Passive Magnetically Levitated Nutation Blood Pump for the Ventricular-Assist Device

Considering the wear in mechanical bearings and the requirement for sensors or electrical power in active magnetic bearings, a novel nutation blood pump using a passive magnetic spherical bearing was developed in this paper. A mathematical model was derived to calculate the magnetic forces of the be...
