SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR

摘要

A system for controlling the force and/or motion of an electromagnetic actuator. The actuator could be a solenoid, relay, or levitating device. The drive to the coil can be linear or switching, voltage or current and the sensors measuring the system can be as simple as just a current sensor monitoring the coil current or a flux sensor. Continuous control of position can be achieved allowing magnetic levitation or the soft landing of the moving element.
