Abstract

We measured the vibration of a prototype superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) operating at liquid nitrogen temperature. This prototype system was designed as a breadboard model for LiteBIRD low-frequency telescope (LFT) polarization modulator unit. We set an upper limit of the vibration amplitude at 36 \(\mu m\) at the rotational synchronous frequency. During the rotation, the amplitude of the magnetic field produced varies. From this setup, we compute the static and AC amplitude of the magnetic fields produced by the SMB magnet at the location of the LFT focal plane as 0.24 and \(3\times 10^{-5}\) G, respectively. From the AC amplitude, we compute TES critical temperature variation of \(7\times 10^{-8}\) K and fractional change of the SQUID flux is \(\delta \Phi /\Phi _0|_\mathrm{ac}=3.1\times 10^{-5}\). The mechanical vibration can be also estimated to be \(3.6\times 10^{-2}\) N at the rotation mechanism location.
