Abstract
A flux-path control magnetic suspension system with multiple magnetic sources is realized. The principle of the flux-path control magnetic suspension system is to control flux from a permanent magnet to the floator, and the attractive force acting on the floator by the motion control of control plates inserted between the permanent magnet and the floator. Stable suspension and 3-DOF control with a single magnetic source was achieved. However, the horizontal control force was much less than the vertical control force. Multiple magnetic source system can overcome such problem. A variable flux-path unit is developed for the realization of multiple magnetic source system. An experimental apparatus with two variable flux-path units is constructed. Stable levitation is achieved by applying PD and PID controls. In addition, stable levitation with zero-power control is also achieved.
