Analysis Method of the Dynamic Force and Torque Distribution in the Magnet Array of a Commutated Magnetically Levitated Planar Actuator

This paper concerns the analysis of the dynamic forces and torques acting on the magnets in a Halbach permanent magnet array of a magnetically levitated moving-magnet planar actuator. A new analysis tool is presented which predicts the dynamic force and torque distribution on the magnet array. This design tool uses lookup table data, which are generated by numerically solving the Lorentz force and torque integral, to describe the force and torque between each magnet and coil in the topology. It offers a fast and accurate solution for the analysis of magnetically levitated planar actuators. The results for two different commutation methods are presented.
