Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The electromagnetic actuator has been widely used in many fields, such as high-speed rotating machines, valves, and precision machinery. After a successful first edition, this Special Issue “Advanced Technologies on the Control Method of Electromagnetic Actuator—Second Edition” is dedicated to advanced technologies in the control method of the electromagnetic actuator. This Special Issue could be focused on the novel structure, manufacturing technology, and advanced control methods of the electromagnetic actuator. We invite the submission of the latest high-quality contributions covering the advanced developments in the design, analysis, and control of electromagnetic actuators, including (but not limited to) the following technical areas:

  • Magnetic bearing;
  • Electromagnetic actuator;
  • Electromagnetic analysis;
  • Electromagnetic compatibility;
  • Advanced control theory;
  • Signal processing.

This Special Issue will publish original research articles and review articles submitted by academics in a wide range of professions, including researchers, academicians, and industry experts.

In this paper, a spatial two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) parallel platform based on electromagnetic redundant drive and its control method are investigated. The platform is redundantly driven by three electromagnetic-spring conforming branched chains, and the design provides better flexibility and responsiveness than conventional parallel structures. The introduction of the electromagnetic drive alleviates the stresses within the conventional rigid redundant drive structure and reduces the detrimental effects associated with rigid redundancy. In this paper, the structure and equivalent SPU model of the platform are first introduced, with S referring to the kinematic sub, P to the spherical sub, and U to the universal joint. The degrees of freedom of the platform are analyzed, and the inverse kinematic model and velocity Jacobi matrix are derived, so as to derive the relationship between the pitch, roll angles, and length of the gimbal chain, and the relational equation between the angle and the current is further established to realize the electromagnetic control of the parallel redundant platform. The control part is realized as follows. Firstly, the angle information of the platform is obtained from the gyroscope to the microcontroller, the filtered angle is derived through the Untraceable Kalman Filter (UKF), and the angle value can be fused with data by both the mathematical model and PID algorithm to introduce the current value required to achieve the balance and realize the balance. In the simulation part, this paper uses Simulink and Simscape in MATLAB for joint simulation, and by giving the simulated trajectory and the desired trajectory of the joints, the driving force diagrams of the three branched chains based on the Least-Second Paradigm method are derived, and the trajectory error and driving force error are given to validate the reliability of the method of this paper.
