A spin drive device of superconducting rotor was designed based on Meissner effect. The electromagnetic field generated by the stator coils engenders rotating torque on the superconducting rotor through the windows on its inner wall. The driving force was calculated using finite element analysis and the results show that the driving torque is approximately in proportional to the square of drive current. Rotation experiments were performed at 4.2 K
30 Pa. Rotation speed of 8512 r/min was achieved with 30 A drive current. The experimental results will be good references for the further improvement of operating parameters and rotation stability of superconducting rotor.
