Development of a low electric power 40 cm class magnetic suspension and balance system

We have developed a magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS) having a test section of 36cm×40cm and being controlled around 5 axes, which can be operated with low electric power. We have developed the control method to support the model in the center of the test section. In order to evaluate th...

Summary:We have developed a magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS) having a test section of 36cm×40cm and being controlled around 5 axes, which can be operated with low electric power. We have developed the control method to support the model in the center of the test section. In order to evaluate the characteristics of this MSBS, we performed the calibration tests of magnetic forces on five axes and interference between these axes. We measured drag coefficients of a sphere and support interference in order to confirm the performance of this MSBS.
