In order to decouple traditional levitation windings and armature windings, a new selfdecoupling magnetic levitation generator (SDMLG) is proposed for wind turbines. This new generator adopts double-stator structure. The armature windings are in the outer stator, and the levitation windings are in the inner stator. The rotor is made of a distributed hollow structure, so that it can effectively ...

This paper investigates the control of a low cost verticalaxis maglev system for mechatronics and controls education. The tabletop maglev system consists of an electromagnetic coil that levitates a ferrous object using an infrared sensor to determine the object’s position. Based on the sensor output, the controller adjusts the coil current, thus changing the magnetic field controlling the levit...

Magnetic levitation is becoming widely applicable in magnetic bearings, high-speed ground transportation, vibration isolation, etc., [1]. For example, magnetic bearings support radial and thrust loads in rotating machinery. In addition, magnetic suspension generates levitation action in rectilinear motion devices such as high-speed ground transportation systems. Magnetic levitation is immensely...
