The purpose of this paper is to analyze and design a new hybrid electromagnetic linear actuator for linear pumps. Solenoid linear actuator is widely used because it occupies small space due to no mechanical energy conversion system. In addition, the energy loss is very low and it has no noise. Conventional solenoid linear actuator, however, has the critical drawback of high power consumption. In this research, we present a new hybrid electromagnetic linear actuator using a permanent magnet in order to reduce power consumption. The enhanced performance of the hybrid linear actuator was verified by dynamic finite element analysis.

휴대폰이나 PDA등의 카메라 렌즈구동용으로 탑재 가능한 소형 압전 초음파 리니어 모터를 개발하였다. 선형 동작을 위한 구동력은 압전 세라믹과 1개 또는 2개의 세라믹으로 이루어진 uni- 또는 bimorph 형태의 압전 엑츄에이터에서 얻을 수 있다. 즉 초음파 영역의 펄스형태의 전압을 인가함으로써 정 또는 역의선형 운동과 인가하는 전압의 주기에 따라 정밀한 위치조절이 가능하고 제조공정이 용이하고 구조가 간단한 것을 특징으로 하는 모터이다. 본 연구에서는 소형 압전 초음파 리니어 모터의 원리와 동작특성을 고찰하였다.

The traditional engine valve train in a combustion engine is the mechanically driven camshaft system that provides one-fixed valve timing. The variable valve timing (VVT), however, is highly required to achieve the significant improvement in fuel economy. To achieve VVT in combustion engine, the solenoid type of actuator had been developed in past years, but it requires current in all operation period, the starting is difficult and the efficiency is low. In this paper, a new linear actuator using permanent magnet (PM) is proposed and verified its feasibility by finite element (FE) analysis.

In this paper, we propose a slider servo-mechanism driven by electro-magnetic actuator to improve straightness of linear motor stages. Based on axial-position dependent deterministic characteristics of the straightness error, a feedforward compensation control is appled to reduce the straightness error. In the consideration of uncertain properties of friction and its effects on positioning accuracy, a sliding mode control is applied. The effectiveness of the suggested mechanism and the control performances are illustrated along with some experimental results.

In order to overcome the demerit and to improve the operation characteristics of Moving Coil type Linear Oscillatory Actuator(MC-LOA) with single-pole permanent magnet, this paper presents two models having the balanced magnetic circuit by multi-pole permanent magnet. They are short coil type with two-pole single-sided and two-ple double-sided permanent magnet. The characteristics between single-pole and multi-pole permanent magnet type MC-LOA are compared. As a result, multi-pole type MC-LOA has more merits than single-pole type about operation characteristics improvement and machine volume. The characteristics analysis is performed by their dynamic analysis composed of kinetic and electric equations and Finite Element Method(FEM). The propriety of multi-pole type MC-LOA model is verified with analysis results.

This paper presents an approach to optimum design of Moving Magnet Type Linear Oscillatory Actuator(MM-LOA). The Finite Element Method is applied to characteristic parameters for characteristic analysis and in order to reduce modeling time and efforts, the moving model node technique is used. In addition the neural network is used to reduce computational time of analysis according to changing design variable. To confirm the validity of this study, optimum design results are compared with results of analysis procedure that is verified by experiment.

This paper presents an approach toward improving the performance of Moving Coil Type Linear Oscillatory Actuator (MC-LOA) with the application of Finite Element Method (FEM) to a simple control system. MC-LOA has an unbalanced magnetic circuit due to its asymmetric structure and there is a different flux distribution on the air-gap along the current direction. The interaction driven by two fluxes between the Permanent Magnet (PM) and the current causes the unbalanced thrust and interferes with the proper oscillation of MC-LOA. In order to solve the above problems and improve the driving performance, it is necessary to analyze the rate of the unbalanced thrust according to the current direction by using FEM. Then, the analysis results are used to determine the input currents for both directions. Controlling the input currents can be easily achieved by a simple control system, such as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), without complex units. The validity of the approach is verified by the experimental results.

In this paper we present the system we produced to help workers at logistic centers and prevent accidents, in which they could get hurt. As a base we use the main control device, named Arduino uno, which measures the weight by using load cells. When operating with the system, by placing object on it, the system measures the weight of the object and keeps the highest point at the same height by lowering its board. This improves the convenience while placing and removing objects from the board. If the weight of the placed object is exceeding the set value the board will also lower itself to secure the safety. By using a line tracer system, the objects are being moved only on a set route with the goal to make it even more comfortable to use.
