Dynamic Simulation of Discontinuously Arranged Electromagnets for Passive Tray Levitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

For a highly clean vacuum environment, magnetic levitation is plausible technology because of its noncontact nature. Especially, due to the potential occurrence of an electric spark in spite of low voltage in a vacuum a passive tray without any circuits is required. In consideration of spatial limitation and cost reduction, the electromagnets of the passive tray levitation should be located discontinuously. This paper presents the characteristic analysis of the passive tray levitation system according to an interval of discontinuously arranged electromagnets. For doing this, the 3D dynamic model, which consists of the mechanical components, joints, and force elements, is proposed to predict the levitation stability.
