The experiment results of the magnetic suspension in a bearingless brushless DC motor to apply in small liquid pumps was presented. The bearingless motor structure, the principle of the suspension force generation and the magnetic suspension control strategy in the bearingless brushless DC motor had been proposed by the author. A prototype bearingless brushless DC motor had been designed based on the computed results by Finite Element Method（FEM） to apply a small liquid pump. It was confirmed by the experiments using the prototype machine that the rotor was successfully suspended without mechanical contact when it drived a liquid pump at the maximum rotational speed of 2 200 rad/s and the maximum fluid flow of 8.2 L/s. This result showed that the control method was valid and the proposed bearingless brushless DC motor was enough suitable as the drive for the small liquid pump.
