This paper presents the design and control of a magnetically suspended ceiling actuator which combines four iron-cored linear actuators and a checkerboard permanent magnet array for an infinite planar stroke. When the actuators are rotated with respect to the PM array, it is shown that the thrust and normal force produced by the three-phase linear actuators can be controlled by applying Park's transformation. The design of the iron-cored linear actuators is optimized for minimum losses when the translator inside the ceiling actuator and a payload are accelerated in the xy-plane. The optimization is performed using an analytical model is. Simulations of the optimized design with a 3D FE-model, show a maximum tracking error of 1 μm and rotations of 30 μrad when the translator is moved and controlled in 6 DOF.

This paper presents a novel permanent magnet (PM) bias hybrid thrust magnetic bearing (HTMB), which can be used to replace the traditional thrust magnetic bearings (TMBs) for high-speed rotating machinery. By adding two PM rings and by reducing the number of the control coils by half, this HTMB eliminates the bias current, reduces the number of amplifiers, and minimizes the magnetic bearing’s structure complexity and power consumption. The analytical modelling method of the HTMB is presented in this paper. Mathematical models for calculating the magnetic force capacity and the stiffnesses of this bearing are derived as simplified formulae, which can be used for the design, analysis, and control of this bearing. Electromechanical characteristics of the HTMB are analyzed, which is compared to the traditional TMB to demonstrate the advantages of the HTMB. The prototype of the HTMB is designed, analyzed, and fabricated, whereas, the 2-D FEM is used to verify the design and the analytical model. Finally, an experimental setup is constructed and tested. The analytical and experimental results indicate that the proposed novel topology of this HTMB is feasible and the presented analytical model is accurate.

Urgency of the research. Modern production requires simple and inexpensive component solutions for gripping large parts. The design of gripping elements using a permanent magnet in this aspect is a promising direction. Target setting. The aim of the project was to realize a gripping component from a commercially available pneumatic drive supplemented with a neodymium permanent magnet and to revive the resulting assembly with a pneumatic portal manipulation device designed for educational activities at the department. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Implementation of the project required a detailed market research focused on the tentacles of a similar concept and the study of the principles and properties of permanent magnets. By analyzing the information the project objective was optimized - design of cheap and reliable gripping element. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Available components were used for the resulting solution, with an emphasis on low acquisition costs. This was due to the fact that the output was intended for laboratory use. The research objective. The aim of the research was to build a real functioning and reliably working gripping device usable as an object for educational activities in the education of our students. The statement of basic materials. Design and practical implementation of the grippers with permanent magnets for gripping parts represented in the work. Activation and control of the grips is implemented by compressed air. The implementation of the output confirmed the correctness of considerations as well as the feasibility of the repeatability of this output while meeting the basic requirement for low costs. The project was based on the principles offered by leading companies, but the implementation output gives a higher gripping force at lower input costs. In addition, it provides the possibility of extension to the size range according to customer requirements. Conclusions. The project was successful and its implementation also contributed to the improvement of the educational process at the department, which was one of the monitored benefits. It provides an illustrative demonstration of the possibilities of performing manipulation tasks with non-standard objects.
