Abstract

In the flux-path control magnetic suspension system, the force acting on a floator is controlled by moving a control plate made of ferromagnetic material, which is located between the permanent magnet and the floator. In this paper, the three-dimensional attractive forces acting on the floator were measured with a manufactured force sensor. The force actuating in the vertical direction is measured with the load cell built in the sensor. The force actuating in the horizontal direction is measured with the plate springs with strain gauges. These measurements clarify the relations between the positions of the control plates and the three-dimensional attractive forces. In addition, stable suspension and three-dimensional positioning were achieved by applying PD control. Several dynamic characteristics were measured in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
