(Abstract) TheBiVACORdevice is athird generation rotary total artificial heartunder development to treat end stage cardiovascular disease.Non-contact suspensionand rotation of the impeller of the blood pump was achieved bya combinationof a permanent magnet hybridtype magnetic bearing and an axial fluxbrush-less DC motor. Moreover, according to a series of animal trials, functionality of the proposed magnetic system in the total artificial heart application was clarified.
