Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of a magnetic damper system to reduce the vibration of a suspension system actively. A cylindrical-type electromagnetic actuator with a permanent magnet is analysed and an effective controller design is made. An accurate force analysis is carried out for the given system. An accurate transfer function for the total system is determined by experimental data using an error minimization method. For experiments, a simple suspension structure system is utilized, in which a magnetic damper composed of a permanent magnet and digital controller is attached. In order to drive the system, a bipolar power amplifier of the voltage control type is utilized. A stable and high speed control board is used to implement digital control logic for the given system. This paper shows that the magnetic damper system using a phase lead controller is excellent in reducing the vibration of a one-degree-of-freedom suspension system.Keywords
