Development of Electromechanical Manipulators Based on Permanent Magnets

Abstract

At present, one of the pressing issues in mechanical engineering is the automation of production processes. Automation helps partially address the problem of personnel shortages and increase labor productivity. High-speed cyclic and positional manipulators developed at the Blagonravov Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMASH RAN), based on the use of high-coercivity permanent magnets, are presented. These developments can serve as a basis for creating manipulators with low and ultra-low lifting capacities for use in various industries.
