This study focuses on improving the power density of a spherical multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) actuator. A spherical multi-DOF actuator that can operate in three DOFs is designed. The actuator features a double air gap to reduce eddy current loss. However, a multi-DOF actuator driven by a single actuator exhibits low power density. Therefore, a Halbach magnet array is applied to improve the power density of a spherical multi-DOF actuator, and its output characteristics are compared with those of an existing spherical multi-DOF actuator via finite element analysis. Additionally, the output characteristics are analyzed based on changes in the coil pitch angle and magneto-motive force of the rotating winding. Furthermore, it is necessary for a spherical multi-DOF actuator to move to the command position. Hence, a stability analysis is performed to ensure that the spherical multi-DOF actuator is stably driven based on the command position.

In the active magnetic bearing (AMB) system, the eddy current is generated during the rotation of the rotor, which brings about the AMB loss and eddy-current magnetic field. The eddy-current magnetic field will reduce the electromagnetic force and generate the resistance torque of the AMB. Basing on the AMB of the Primary Helium Circulator (PHC) in HTR-PM, two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) AMB models are built and analyzed with finite element analysis (FEA) in maxwell. The 2D FEA shows that the eddy-current loss and the resistance torque increase as the rotor speed increases, and the eddy-current magnetic field will affect the air-gap magnetic field and reduce the electromagnetic force. The 3D FEA shows that dividing the rotor in insulate sheets can reduce the eddy-current loss. The loss and the sheets thickness have a linear relationship, which is different from the theoretical analysis.
