We discuss the design, fabrication, and testing of a large-displacement electromagnetic actuator with the meander springs partially exposed to a magnetic field. We compared two prototypes: a prototype (F) of the conventional actuator with the meander springs fully exposed to a magnetic field and a prototype (P) of the proposed actuator with the meander springs partially exposed to a magnetic field. For a 5 Hz square input current varying from 10.40 mA, P showed an increase of $16.9{\pm}1.2%$ in the amplitude, which was greater than the increase in the case of F. Thus, we experimentally demonstrated the large-displacement actuation performance of the proposed actuator in a small volume and at low currents (below 40 mA). The proposed electromagnetic actuator can be used for low-power and large-displacement manipulation of optical switches and optical choppers.

The shock absorber with magnetic effect is suggested for a lunar lander. The shock absorber consists of a metal tube, a piston rod, and several permanent magnets moved by a piston rod in the tube, and the shock energy can be dispersed and dissipated by magnetic effects such as the magnetic force existed between a metal and magnets and the eddy current effect generated by a relative motion with a conductor and magnets. Besides, the shock-absorbing effect similar to that of a coil spring can be obtained by arranging the magnets in line, which are facing the same polar each other. The device has a very simple structure and is usable in space due to the unnecessariness of any oil or gas. The shock absorber was designed and manufactured for experiments and its spring and damping characteristics were studied by the theoretical, analytical and experimental methods.

Permanent magnet is one of the most important parts in modern industry and the rare earth elements play an essential role for operation of permanent magnet. As is well known, the rare earth elements are mostly produced in China and the world is now facing serious problems owing to supply and demand imbalances. Many attempts have been performed to replace these rare-earth based permanent magnets by rare-earth free magnets, but they have not been successful so far. Regarding this issue, we discuss about an exchange spring magnet as a potential rare earth free permanent magnet structure.

베어링리스 모터는 기존의 전동기와 자기베어링을 결합한 기술로 축 길이가 줄어들어 회전 속도를 높일 수 있으며 소형화가 가능하다는 장점이 있다(Fig. 1). 베어링리스 모터를 설계하기 위한 첫 번째 단계는 베어링리스 모터의 수학적 모델을 도출하는 것인데, 기존의 연구에서 부상용 전류와 부상력의 관계는 잘 정립되어 있다. 그러나, 회전자의 변위에 따른 부상력의 변화는 명확히 정의되어 있지 안다. 본 논문에서는 분산 자기 회로 이론을 이용하여 회전자의 움직임에 따른 부상력의 변화를 스프링계수의 형태로 모델링하였다.(중략)

SLA(Scanned Linear Array) is a portable display unit for implementing next-generation virtual realities, utilizes a design that light generated by a line of LEDs is reflected from the rapidly oscillating mirror to generate a raster display. Reaction forces generated by the motions of the mirror and counter-balance mass cancel each other at the device base, reducing vibration. Metal leaf springs have been extensively applied in such portable units. Magnetic springs have been developed and adopted that can replace the metal spring and can avoid many disadvantages of metal springs. We model and analyze the dynamics of the structure with magnetic springs and present the simulation and experimental analysis results, which can be utilized for identifying and eliminating possible problem sources in removing shaking forces and moments, and oscillating the mirror at the required amplitude and frequency. Finally, we present the improved novel magnetic actuator model which can be applied in portable display units.

This paper presents a dynamic modeling of a military vehicle suspension featuring disc spring and MR valve. Firstly, the dynamic model of the disc spring is established with respect to the load and pressure. The nonlinear behavior of the spring is incorporated with the model. Secondly, the dynamic model of the MR valve is derived by considering the pressure drop due to the viscosity and yield stress of MR fluid. The governing characteristics of the proposed suspension system are then investigated by presenting the field-dependent pressure drop of the MR valve and spring force of the gas spring.

A moving-magnet type pickup actuator has an assembly error . That is, the actuating part of an actuator is shifted from initial position after we assemble it into yoke. This is the result of an effect of magnetic force between magnet and yoke. We performed magnetic-analysis using FEA. As a result of simulation, we improved the assembl ing efficiency for moving-magnet type actuator.

This paper presents two actuators for levitation using repulsions of permanent magnet and two magnetic levitation tables using the actuators. Here, one actuator for levitation consists of one fixed magnet and one moving magnet, and the other actuator consists of two fixed magnets and one moving magnet. The moving part of the magnetic levitation table contains the moving magnets. repulsive forces caused by the permanent magnets are linearized, and then the equation of motion of the moving part of the table is derived. Using the equation of motion, stability conditions of the moving part are deduced. The stability conditions are analyzed for positional relations of the moving magnets and the minimum number of active control required for stable system. As a result, in the each case of magnetic levitation tables, the requirements for stabilization are expressed by the positional relations and the number of the active controls.

We have gone into details about the velocity calibration of sinusoidal mode for Mossbauer spectrometer. Since sinusoidal Mossbauer spectrometer has a ${\gamma}$-ray source that oscillates at the end of loudspeaker with the natural frequency. Doppler velocity is accurate and stable. From the analyzing Mossbauer spectra of $Fe_3O_4$ and U $Fe_3O_4$ (unbalanced $Fe_3O_4$), we have shown the power of correct velocity for sinusoidal mode.
