Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Advances in Switched Reluctance Motors, Bearingless Motors and Magnetic Bearings.
Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) provide a potential candidate and a feasible solution with increased interest for industrial applications, due to their simple and rigid structure without permanent magnets, low manufacturing cost, excellent power–speed characteristics, and high reliability. High-efficiency SRMs are expected to be a competitive alternative to the other types of machines. The techniques used in design optimization methods, multi-physical analysis, and advanced control are attracting more and more attention from the research community.
Bearingless devices, such as bearingless motors (BMs) and magnetic bearings (MBs), provide a stable support instead of mechanical bearings, due to their advantages of no contact, no pollution, no lubrication and simple structure. The BMs and MBs can be widely used in high vacuum and low temperature atmospheres, turbomolecular pumps, food and pharmacy processes and other applications without friction loss or pollution. The techniques used in multi-physical analysis, suspension control strategies, topological structure design and disturbances rejection are becoming a key research area.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that explore the recent advanced research in the field of switched reluctance motors, as well as some bearingless devices, i.e., bearingless motors or magnetic bearings. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, including comprehensive reviews and survey papers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
