1. A magnetically journalled rotational arrangement comprising a substantially disc-shaped or ring-shaped magnetically journalled rotor anda stator comprising:
- means for generating a field, wherein said field produces rotation of the rotor having means for generating a unipolar bias magnetic flux spatially modulated when viewed in the circumferential direction; and
a plurality of permanent magnets arranged to cooperate with the means provided on the rotor generating the spatially modulated bias magnetic flux and producing or reinforcing the magnetic journalling of the rotor,wherein the stator effecting the magnetic journalling of the rotor surrounds the ring or disc-shaped rotor,wherein the stator plane and the rotor plane coincide and from a bearing plane, andwherein the means for generating the field are arranged in the segments between the permanent magnets in the stator so that the motor plane in which the rotation of the rotor is produced and the bearing plane in which the journalling of the rotor is produced coincide.

Abstract
A magnetically journalled rotational arrangement includes a substantially disc-shaped or ring-shaped rotor and a stator. The stator includes structure for the production of a field which produces a rotation of the rotor. The rotor has structure which produce a unipolar bias magnetization flux which is spatially modulated when viewed in the circumferential direction.
