Abstract

In this paper, a gravity compensation mechanism using non-contact magnetic energy is proposed. The non-contact magnetic torque enabled a working range of over 360° and an adjustable maximum compensation torque from 32 to 72 Nm. The proposed mechanism has a simple structure consisting of two stators and a rotating rotor. The stator consists of a yoke and two fan-shaped permanent magnets (PMs) that are magnetized axially and attached to one side of the yoke in different magnetization directions. The rotor consisted of two PMs and a rotating axis. A total of six PMs form a magnetic flux circulation. The rotation of the rotor cuts the magnetic flux circulation and generates the magnetic attraction and repulsion forces between the PMs. The shapes of the PMs are designed to generate the desired sinusoidal torque profiles over 360° and to maximize the compensation torque. The detailed design parameters of the PM and yoke were determined using finite element analysis. It was experimentally verified that the mechanism generates the expected torque and reduces the output torque and average power consumption of a driving motor.

期刊介绍： Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.
