Modeling and analysis of magnetic field distribution of square pane permanent magnet for intelligent ball joint

Abstract

The reasonable permanent magnetic field distribution has an important influence on improving the measuring accuracy in intelligent ball joint. In view of the defects on the ring permanent magnet in the previous experiment scheme, a new method on Square Pane Permanent Magnet (SPPM) is put forward. It possesses distinct advantages on orientation identification and model simplification. This paper proposes an optimized theory model of the magnetic field distribution of SPPM and gives the magnetic field theoretical expressions. The experiments have shown that the experimental data basically agreed with the theory value which is less than 4.3% error in full scale. This result verified the correctness of the analytic work and paves the way for improving the measurement accuracy in intelligent ball joint.
