Abstract
A torsional electromagnetic actuator that is actuated by the torque applied to a planar coil in an external magnetic field is designed, modeled, and analyzed in this letter. The analytical model of the magnetic torque is established. A magnet combination consisting of a rectangular magnet and a square-ring magnet magnetized in opposite directions is developed. A novel magnetic circuit is designed and analyzed to increase the driving torque. The electromagnetic and mechanical responses of the device are characterized by finite element simulation. In the case study, the power consumption of the actuator is significantly reduced by 54.3%, and down to 3.05 mW at the mechanical torsion angle of 11°. The effect of air gap on power consumption is also studied quantitatively.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
