Because active magnetic bearing has many particular properties, it might be the best way to support the motor rotor and gas turbine rotor in the 10MW high temperature gas-cooled test module reactor. In this paper, aiming at the small experiment setup of HTR-10, more accurate and higher mathematic model of AMB flexible rotor system than the rigid one was formulated with subsection discrete method to formulate. A controller with LQG plus some phase lead compensator was design and was applied to actual rotational experiments. Form the experiments’ results, the rotor could not only run up to 400 Hz, above the first BCS (346Hz), but also stay at that speed stably and safely for a long time. This whole system is very useful to the further big setup.
