EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF 5KN MODEL ELECTROMAGNETIC VIBRATION DAMPERAND DESIGN OF A REAL-SIZE 120 KN MACHINE

The electromagnetic vibration damper consists of a stator including ma ny phases (24 for the model, 16 for the real-size machine) and a solid smooth rotor. The drive device provides four-quadrant operation for e ach phase. The authors present the experimental validation of the 5 kN model machine, with its electronic power drive. A complete computatio nal model is described and validated. The study is then applied to the design of a real-size 120 kN machine.
