Electromagnetic Levitation System for Active Magnetic Bearing Wheels

Abstract

In this chapter, the author presents an electromagnetic levitation system for active magnetic bearing wheels. This system consists of a rotor, a shaft, a cover, and a base. The author derives a meaningful electromagnetic force by using the singular value decomposition. The author develops a control system using the proportional-integral-derivative controller to control the position of the rotor and regulate the two gimbal angles of the rotor. The author gives the numerical simulation and experimental results on the control of the electromagnetic levitation system.
