Abstract
Non-laminated magnetic actuators have wide applications such as metal conveyance and thrust magnetic bearings for rotating machinery. Although the geometries of such actuators are simple, their dynamics are very complex due to eddy currents, which result from the non-laminated construction and result in lower actuator bandwidth and dynamic stiffness. Understanding these dynamics is critical to the design of high performance actuators and the development of control algorithms for them.
