Die vorliegende Erfindung schlägt ein Magnetlager aufweisend einen Innenring und einen konzentrisch zum Innenring angeordneten Außenring vor, wobei der Innenring und der Außenring mittels Axial- und Radialmagneten drehbar zueinander gelagert sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Magnetlager ein Fanglager aufweist, welches sowohl entlang einer axialen Richtung als auch entlang einer radialen Richtung in den Außenring und/oder den Innenring integriert ist. A magnetic bearing may include an inner ring and an outer ring arranged concentrically. The inner ring and the outer ring may be mounted rotatably relative to each other by way of axial and radial magnets. The magnetic bearing may also include a back-up bearing, which is integrated into at least one of the outer ring or the inner ring both in an axial direction and in a radial direction. The outer ring may be multipiece and may include a recess that opens inwards and receives the inner ring. Further, the back-up bearing may be made of aluminum, austenitic steel, bronze, or ceramic, and the back-up bearing may operate as a shielding device that shields magnetic fields emitted by the axial and radial magnets from one another.
