The electrodynamic suspension is used for levitation and guidance. Gap control is not required for this suspension system, but the damping factor of the system is small. The damper coil system is considered to increase damping of the levitation system. Running simulation of the bogie is undertaken when the bogie passes the guideway displacement. The damper coil decreases the oscillation of the bogie. However, the energy for running is increased because of the weight of the damper coil. By changing the shape of the damper coil, the weight of the damper coil becomes half of the conventional one. From the results, the current of damper coil increases. When weight-reduced coil is used in passive damper mode, damping factor is small. But in the semi-active mode, damping factor increases. Electromagnetic analysis has been undertaken. Improvements of oscillations of the bogie with the weight-reduced damper coils are shown. The convergence time is improved 58.0% in lateral displacement and 57.3% on rolling angle by the weight-reduced damper coils.","PeriodicalId":214273,"journal":{"name":"2019 12th International Symposium on Linear Drives for Industry Applications (LDIA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133288108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LMS Amesim software is used to model the thermodynamic engine and electromechanical finite element analysis is used for the electrical machine. The overall performance of an engine coupled to electrical machines with varying translator length is investigated. The performance of such a tubular generator is demonstrated by measurements on a 7-pole/6-slot prototype machine.

All negative side effects of these components, which are mainly losses and the need of a lubrication system, belong to the past. Moreover, the absence of a crankshaft reduces the constraints on the linear motion. On the other side, the target power density known from conventional drives pushes the requirements to higher operation frequencies and lower mover masses. This favors slotted motor geometries with small air gaps. Thus, unfortunately friction issues again require a closer look. The bearing forces now result to a considerable amount from the unbalanced magnetic pull. Though they ideally cancel in double-sided systems, manufacturing tolerances result in inevitable bearing forces and increase the requirements on dry running bearings. The linear oscillatory system analyzed in this paper follows the approach of keeping the moving mass small, the motor compact and eliminating any mechanical bearing issues at the same time. A minimal system is found in a four-coil arrangement capable of simultaneously generating axial thrust and bearing forces. The plate structure of the mover stabilizes the remaining degrees of freedom of the rigid body motion. The system is modeled and linearized to allow a decoupling of the thrust and bearing forces. The proposed control decouples the forces and is implemented on an evaluation model to validate the operation of the oscillatory bearing-less (self bearing) linear motor.","PeriodicalId":214273,"journal":{"name":"2019 12th International Symposium on Linear Drives for Industry Applications (LDIA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117155032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
