Modeling the Effects of Magnetization Variations on a Permanent Magnet Based Levitation or Vibration Isolation System

Abstract:

When designing a magnetic levitation system it is assumed that the magnets are ideally magnetized. In practice, however, this is not the case and deviations occur in the magnetization. In this paper two types of deviations are considered, namely a constant angular deviation and the magnetization error. Calculations show that a constant error has larger impact on the performance of a gravity compensator than the magnetization error.
