This paper demonstrates, theoretically and experimentally, the idea of
magnetic force control in magnetically levitated systems using flux d
ensity measurements. The force is determined by measuring the flux den
sity in the airgap from a Hall-effect sensor. A simple magnetic levita
tion system which consists of a U-shaped electromagnet and a manipulat
or is developed for demonstration. A state feedback controller and H-i
nfinity controller are used together to increase robustness and speed
performance of the force controlled system, and they are implemented i
n real time using a digital signal processor with 16-bit A/D and D/A c
onverters. Simulation and experimental results for robust stability, d
isturbance/noise rejection and asymptotic tracking are presented.
