The proposed paper presents an integrated linear actuator which combines Transverse Flux Linear Motor(TFLM) for Household elelctric applications. They both use the same primary magnetic circuit, but they have different secondary movers. The paper presents a new design of linear motor for a new electromagnetic linear actuator, an tintegrated TFLM. The calculated tthrust force is good agreement with experiments. We have studied a transient response of a linear actuator with a damping ratio, spring constant and specially a pressed power patterns for a constant stroke control.

The linear actuator has the inherent drawback of air gap variation because its linear motion is usually guided by the springs, which destabilizes the dynamic performance. In order to design the linear actuator to be insensitive to air gap, this paper describes the robust design of the air compressor driving linear actuator using Taguchi method. The orthogonal arrays are constructed with selected control factors and noise factor for minimum experiment. The control factors are thickness of inner magnet, height of upper yoke, thickness of outer magnet and thickness of lower yoke while noise factor is airgap. The finite element analysis using commercial electromagnetic analysis program "MAXWELL" are performed instead of experiment. ANOVA are performed to investigate the effects of design factors. In result, the optimal robust linear actuator which is insensitive to air gap variation is designed.

A linear actuator using Terfenol-D rod which can accumulate displacement of the rod was fabricated. The diameter of used rod is 12[mm] and the length of it is 75[mm]. It adopts the electromagnetic units as the clamping units. Basic characteristics of the linear actuator such as displacement vs. current, velocity vs. frequency, step size vs. frequency were experimented. When the driving current is 1[A] and 100[Hz], the velocity of the actuator is about 3.5[mm/s]. We discussed the cause of step size's decrease as increasing driving frequency and the solution to the problem.

This paper develops a moving-magnet electromagnetic actuator for fast steering mirror (FSM). The actuator achieves a reasonable compromise between voice coil actuator and piezoelectric actuator. The stroke of the actuator is between the strokes of a piezoelectric actuator and a voice coil actuator, and its force output is a linear function of air gap and excitation current within our FSM travel range. Additionally, the actuator is more reliable than voice coil actuator as the electrical connection in the actuator is static. Analytically modeling the actuator is difficult and time-consuming. Alternatively, numerous finite element simulations are carried out for the actuator analysis and design. According to the design results, a real prototype of the actuator is fabricated. An experimental test system is then built. Using the test system, the force output of the fabricated actuator is evaluated. The test results validate the actuator analysis and design.

In fabricating linear actuator using the GMA(Giant Magnetostrictive Alloy : Terfenol-D). the clamping unit is needed to accumlate each displacement from the GMA rod. Two types of the clamping unit (one is using piezoelectric device and the other electromagnetic farce) were made and tested. From the result of the experiment, we conclude that the electromagnetic clamping unit has advantages over the piezoelectric clamping unit.

In this paper, we constructed the analytic model of control valve as a function of electric and geometric parameters, and analyzed the influence of the design parameters on the dynamic characteristics. For improving the dynamic characteristics, optimal design is conducted by applying sequential quadratic programming method to the analytic model. This optimal design aims to minimize the response time and maximize force efficiency. By this procedure, control valve can be designed to have fast response in motion.

This paper deals with analytical prediction for electromagnetic characteristics of a tubular linear actuator with Halbach array using transfer relations, namely, Melcher's methodology. Using transfer relations derived in terms of magnetic vector potential and a two-dimensional (2-d) cylindrical coordinate system, this paper derives analytical solutions for magnetic vector potential due to permanent magnets (PMs) and stator winding currents. On the basis of these analytical solutions, this paper also achieves analytical solutions for the magnetic fields distribution produced by PMs, stator windings current and axial thrust. The analytical results are validated extensively by finite element (FE) analyses. In particular, test results such as thrust measurements are given to confirm the analysis. Finally, this paper estimates control parameters using analytical solutions and test results such as thrust, back-emf, inductance and resistance measurements.
