This paper presents a new measurement method to investigate the operational mode dependent dynamic behavior of magnetorheological fluid. The proposed measurement system is designed using an electromagnetically actuating cylindrical rod coupled with the magnetorheological fluid squeezing setup. The cylindrical rod is clamped to base at one end and the other end is free to move in the z- and y-axis. A disc-type permanent magnet is attached to the free end of the cantilever rod and an electromagnetic actuator is placed nearer to the permanent magnet. The magnetorheological fluid squeezing setup is mounted nearer to the fixed end. The magnetorheological squeezing setup is designed using two electromagnetic coils placed face to face in z-axis with the gap of “ d”. The magnetorheological fluid is placed between the gap “ d” to form the squeezing effect. The direction of vibration of the cantilever rod to bottom surface is determined by the angular position of electromagnetic actuator. The actuator position is fixed to the desired angle with the help of stepper motor setup. The horizontal direction of vibration of cantilever rod produces the shear mode operation of the magnetorheological fluid in the magnetorheological fluid squeezing setup. Similarly, the vertical and intermediate direction of vibration of rod produces the squeeze and coupled mode operation of the magnetorheological fluid, respectively. The analytical and experiment analyses to determine the dynamic damping behavior of the magnetorheological particles for various directions of actuation angle is undertaken using the proposed measurement system. The analytical model of the proposed measurement system is firstly derived and the experimental setup is then developed in real-time laboratory environment. The analytical and experimental results show that the dynamic damping behavior of squeeze mode operation of the magnetorheological fluid is superior to the shear and coupled mode operation of the magnetorheological fluid. The effectiveness and novelty of the proposed measurement system is demonstrated by presenting dynamic force variation and vibration amplitude reduction at different modes like squeeze, shear, and intermediate mode operation of the magnetorheological fluid.

In this paper, research on measurement methods of hole during the parts online detection has been made. Both diameter and position of the hole are going to be detected in the same measurement system. In order to obtain higher accuracy and efficiency, a comparative analysis test of using the contact probes, the inductive sensor, the laser sensor, the forward and back lighting CCD imaging have been achieved. Results show that the contact measurement using inductive sensor is more suitable for the system, for the reason that it has higher reliability and efficiency.

This paper proposes a new high-precision rotor position measurement (RPM) method for permanent magnet spherical motors (PMSMs). In the proposed method, a LED light spot generation module (LSGM) was installed at the top of the rotor shaft. In the LSGM, three LEDs were arranged in a straight line with different distances between them, which were formed as three optical feature points (OFPs). The images of the three OFPs acquired by a high-speed camera were used to calculate the rotor position of PMSMs in the world coordinate frame. An experimental platform was built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed RPM method.

This paper addresses a rotary motion type of electromagnetic actuator that compares two types of electromagnetic actuators; i.e the Permanent Magnet Switching Flux (PMSF) and the Switching Reluctance (SR) actuator. The Permanent Magnet Switching Flux (PMSF) actuator is the combination of permanent magnets (PM) and the Switching Reluctance (SR) actuator. The force optimizations are accomplished by manipulating the actuator parameters; i.e. (i) the poles ratio of the stator and rotor; (ii) the actuator’s size; (iii) the number of winding turns; and (iv) the air gap thickness between the stator and rotor through Finite Element Analysis Method (FEM) using the ANSYS Maxwell 3D software. The materials implemented in the actuator’s parameters optimizations are readily available materials, especially in Malaysia. The excitation current used in FEM analysis for both actuators was between 0A and 2A with interval of 0.25A. Based on the FEM analyses, the best result was achieved by the Permanent Magnet Switching Flux (PMSF) actuator. The PMSF actuator produced the largest magnetostatic thrust force (4.36kN) once the size is scaled up to 100% with the input current, 2A respectively. The maximum thrust force generated by the Switching Reluctance (SR) actuator was 168.85μN, which is significantly lower in compared to the results of the PMSF actuator.

The effect of magnet moving speed on the relaxation of the maximum levitation force of YBCO bulk has been investigated. The experiment was carried out between a cylinder permanent magnet and a single-domain YBCO bulk, and the levitation force was measured using a self-made levitation force measurement system. It is found that the levitation force decreases with time after the gap distance between the magnet and YBCO bulk reduced to 2 mm and kept for the test. It is also found that the levitation force and its relaxation rate is different for different moving speed between the magnet and the YBCO bulk, and the higher the moving speed, the greater the relaxation rate of levitation force. However, the largest levitation force is obtained at an optimal speed, the higher the levitation force, and the faster the relaxation of levitation force.
