STIRLING CYCLE CRYOGENIC COOLER Abstract A long lifetime Stirling cycle cryogenic cooler particularly adapted for space applications comprised of a compressor section (10) centrally aligned end to end with an expansion section (12) and respectively including a reciprocating compressor piston (14) and displacer (16) radially suspended in interconnected cylindrical housings (18, 20) by active magnetic bearings (26, 28, 30, 32) and having adjacent reduced clearance regions (82, 84, 108) so as to be in non-contacting relationship therewith and wherein one or more of these regions operate as clearance seals. The piston (14) and displacer (16) are recipro- cated in their housings (18, 20) by linear drive motors (48, 52) to vary the volume of respectively adjacent compression and expansion spaces (44, 46) which contain a gaseous working fluid and a thermal regenerator (95) to effect Stirling cycle cryogenic cooling. Electrical circuit means (140, 142) are additionally included for energizing the magnetic bearings (26, 28, 30, 32) and for controlling the stroke amplitudes and relative phase angle between the compressor piston (14) and displacer (16) during the cooling cycle. 28/dlm
