Abstract
This paper proposes a simultaneous suspension of two different weight iron balls with a magnetic suspension system using flux path control method. In this system, the suspension force is generated by a disk-type permanent magnet, and controlled by varying the angle of the permanent magnet that is driven by a rotary actuator. In this paper, first, the suspension principle is explained, and the prototype is introduced. Second, the characteristics of this system are examined by some basic experimental results. Third, basing on the examination results, a model is created, and the controllability is proved theoretically. Finally, the simultaneous suspension experiments are carried out. Some results of suspension are shown and discussed.
