Modeling and Experimental Investigation on Vehicle Active Suspension Electromagnetic Actuator

Abstract:

A new type of electromagnetic linear actuator for vehicle active suspension was designed, with the characteristics of large stroke and force and fast response. Combined with the finite element analysis software, the finite element model of the electromagnetic actuator was built up. Based on the simulation results, a prototype of electromagnetic linear actuator with appropriate parameters was developed. And the electromagnetic force test of the actuator was done. By comparison of the finite element simulation results and the experimental data, it shows the corresponding results are consistent, indicating that the design and analysis of the electromagnetic actuator is correct.
