A New Type of a Magnetic Plane Motor Coupled Mechanical Vibration with Electromagnetic Force

Abstract

This paper proposes a new magnetic plane motor capable of rotation by the resonance energy of double-cantilever beam model excited by an electromagnetic force. This magnetic plane motor has two double-cantilever models, and the rotational direction is able to change by changing of the vibration mode. Basic characteristics of a prototype for the magnetic plane motor, such as rotational speed, output torque and efficiency were determined experimentally. Experimental results demonstrated that the rotational speed of 8.1 rpm was obtained with output torque of 0.07 Ncm for the magnetic plane motor having double-cantilever model. The output torque characteristics of the magnetic plane motor with two double-cantilever models improved 200 percent compared with double-cantilever model.

Motor Using Mechanical Vibration of Multiple Bimorph Beams

“…Non-magnetic motors have been discussed for long time. As such, many studies have investigated the mechanisms of motors using non-magnetic devices, such as electrostatic elements (Jian et al, 2006;Xiaolong et al, 2014;Peled et al, 2016;Aoyagi et al, 2016;Yu et al, 2016;Yamamoto et al, 2005;Kurosawa, 1997;Niino et al, 1997), electrorheological fluid (Yokota et al, 2004), shape memory alloys (Sharma et al, 2008), magnetostrictive elements (Pack et al, 2013;Ueno, 2009), the electrostatic optical motor by using PLZT element (Morikawa et al, 2003), and the combination of a frictional force and an electromagnetic force (Maruno et al, 2000;Yaguchi et al, 2014). An ultrasonic motor is being developed as a typical example of a non-magnetic motor, and the design and production techniques of this ultrasonic motor are almost established.…”
