Multiple Magnetic Suspension Systems

(1st report: Basic Concepts and Theorems)

Abstract

The paper proposes multiple magnetic suspension systems. The concepts are presented by using their basic models. They are classified according to multiple structure, power amplifier and coil connection. According to the first item, they can be divided into series and parallel. This paper mainly treats the latter. The controllability and the observability of each parallel suspension system are discussed based on its mathematical model. The concept of self-sensing magnetic suspension is stretched to the multiple systems. The feasibility of parallel magnetic suspension is demonstrated by simulation
