The Experimental Method for Obtaining Input Data for the Design of an Automatic Magnetic Connection Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes process of an experimental evaluation of the necessary torque for disconnection of a magnetic connection mechanism. The paper describes basic information of a designed testing stand for an experimental evaluation of mechanical parameters of the automatic connection mechanism based on magnetic principle for use in self-reconfigurable modular robotic system. Also describes processing of measured values. Obtained values were then used in a mechanical design of the testing connection mechanism for verification of its other parameters.
