Abstract The paper presents detailed modelling of rotor, electro-magnetic actuators, and accompanying electronics of an in-housedeveloped active magnetic bearing (AMB) test rig in a unified manner. The work is the extension of our previous work on a 1-degree-of-freedom (DOF) cantilever beam while in here, the challenging problem of levitating and spinning a 2 DOF rotor on a pair of opposing EMs is investigated. Classical three-term PID controllers are designed as a benchmark controllers, in frequency domain to stabilize the 2-DOF open-loop unstable system, and the performance is compared with the modern state-space control strategies, namely Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and combined LQG-Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG\ LTR) compensators. The tuned robust controllers are deployed on a custom-designed hardware using Simulink Real-Time software. Dual axes controllers performed reasonably well when subjected to static and dynamic tests both in simulation and in experimentation. The key time domain p
