摘要
A calibration fixture has been developed that measures the force of an electromagnetic actuator as a function of coil current and target separation gap. The measured force characteristics are used to linearize the dynamics of magnetic bearings controlled by these actuators. The calibration fixture mechanical design and test procedure are described. An extremely stiff gothic arch ball-and-groove coupling fabricated from silicon carbide is used along with a lightweight target platen constructed from composite materials to place the resonant frequency of the calibration fixture at 1.8 kHz. This permits the characterization of magnetic bearing elements at frequencies up to 1 kHz. Experimental results from force testing a magnetic bearing element are presented along with the frequency response of the calibration fixture and suggestions for further research. We also present the design of an associated linear current amplifier designed specifically for low noise and a high negative current slew rate.
