This paper provides a fin actuation system of missile based on electromagnetic-spring mechanism to miniaturize the system and lower the cost. Compared with proportional electro-mechanical actuators, the output of Electromagnetic-Spring Actuators(EMSA) has two or three discrete states, but the mechanical configuration of EMSA is simple since it does not need power trains like gears. The simple mechanism of EMSA makes it easy to build small size, low cost, and relatively high torque actuators. However, fast response time is required to improve the dynamic performance and accuracy of missiles since bang-off-bang operation of EMSA affects the flight performance of missile. In this paper the development of EMSA including parameter optimization and mathematical modeling is described. The simulation results using Simulink and experimental test results of prototype EMSAs are presented.

The possibility of suppressing critical speeds by using electromagnetic actuators (EMAs) is assessed experimentally in this paper. The system studied is composed of a horizontal flexible shaft supported by two ball bearings at one end and one roller bearing that is located in a squirrel cage at the other end. Four identical EMAs supplied with constant current are utilized. The EMAs associated to the squirrel cage constitutes the hybrid bearing. Results obtained, show that the constant current, when applied to the EMAs, produces a shift of the first critical speed toward lower values. Moreover, the application of constant current for a speed interval around the critical speed enables a smooth run-up or run-down without crossing any resonance.

Two criteria of good vehicle suspension performance are typically their ability to provide good road handling and increased passenger comfort. So far, The existing active vehicle suspension uses pneumatic and hydraulic actuators that enhance road handling and passenger comfort. But these kinds of actuators have nonlinear characteristic less than an electromagnetic motor. In this research, we are trying to examine the feasibility and the experiment of an active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor in order to enhance the ride quality because existing active vehicle suspension using active power sources such as compressors, hydraulic pumps has nonlinear characteristic. Active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor will have the ability to behave differently on smooth and rough roads. The desired response should be soft in order to enhance ride comfort, but when the road surface is too rough the suspension should stiffen up to avoid hitting its limits.

The pneumatic isolator is widely adopted for anti-vibration of precision measuring and manufacturing equipments. But, when the precision demand on anti-vibration is extreme or the load is moving, the performance of anti-vibration can not meet satisfaction. In these cases, as a complementary, active vibration suppression system can be added for advanced performance. In this paper, an active control system is presented, which uses electromagnetic actuators for vibration suppression. The anti-vibration characteristic of pneumatic isolator is analyzed for system modeling and actuator specifying. The modeling and the 3D dynamic simulation is performed for control system design. For the electromagnetic actuator design, the magnetic flex density and the current-force characteristic analysis are achieved.

Refreshable Braille displays have already been developed in the past, but they remain quite bulky and expensive. Small displays contain only a single or a few Braille cells, with pins pushing into the fingertips. However, they are not as successful as larger displays because the skin is more sensitive to lateral movement than to orthogonal pressure. This, paper presents the design of linear electromagnetic actuators, which allows a considerable reduction in size and cost for such refreshable Braille displays. Different actuator concepts are compared. A new actuator is proposed and optimised by means of finite element simulations, which are verified with measurements on a prototype.

A micro electromagnetic actuator with high vibration efficiency is proposed for use in an implantable hearing device. The actuator, which can be implanted in the middle ear, consists of membranes based on the stainless steel 304 (SUS-304), and other components. In conventional actuators, in which a thick membrane and a silicone elastomer are used, the size reduction was difficult. In order to miniaturize the size of the actuator, it is necessary to reduce the size of the actuation potion that generates the driving force, resulting in reduction of the electromagnetic force. In this paper, the electromagnetic actuator is further miniaturized by the metal membrane and the vibration amplitude is also optimized. The actuator designed according to the simulation results was fabricated by using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. In particular, a $20{\mu}m$ thick metal membrane was fabricated using the erosion process, which reduced the length of the actuator by more than $400{\mu}m$. In the experiments, the vibration displacement characteristics of the optimized actuator were above 400 nm within the range of 0.1 to 1 kHz when a current of $1mA_{rms}$ was applied to the coil.

A novel solving technique has been developed to analyze the dynamic characteristics of high speed Thomson-coil arc eliminator. The electromagnetic repulsion actuator based on Thomson-coil is taken as the driving part of the arc eliminator, due to which, the opening and closing time is quite short compare to other type actuators. The electromagnetic repulsion actuator is composed of one repulsion plate and two fixed coils, corresponding to the opening coil and closing coil, respectively. The new solving technique is derived based on the equivalent electric circuit model of the system which is set up by dividing the repulsion plate into multi segments using adaptive segmentation method. This solving technique is applied to the dynamic characteristic analysis of electromagnetic repulsion actuators in high speed Thomson-coil arc eliminators. The calculation results are testified by the FEM calculation results and experiment results.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of flexible cantilever beam system using electromagnetic farce actuator. The main objective of this paper is to propose the control algorithms and to implement the experimental setups for active vibration control. Dynamic equations of the electromagnetic actuator and the beam are combined to find the transfer function from the electromagnetic actuator to the laser sensor. The final transfer function is determined by considering only the first and second modes, and experiments confirm that this model works well. Several control algorithms are proposed and implemented on the experimental setups to show their efficacy. These include a PID control design, an optimal H$_2$ control design, and a fuzzy PID control design. Effectiveness and performance of the designed controller were verified by both simulation and experiment results.

In general, inchworm actuators are composed of two clamping piezoelectric elements and one expansion piezoelectric element. In this paper, two electromagnetic clampers are used for higher speed and high load. Dynamic equation is derived to simulate the behavior of the inchworm actuator with electromagnets. Electromagnetic clamper is used to improve the performance of the inchworm actuator. The electromagnetic clamper is composed of two permanent magnets and one traditional electromagnet. The permanent magnets play the role of the source of magnetic field to make clamping force higher, and the electromagnet is to change the mode between clamping and free. The driving voltage profile is also analyzed to improve the speed of inchworm actuator. The real system was manufactured and experimented to find dynamic characteristics and the maximum speed is obtained. Dynamic model is verified by comparing with experimental results.
