Abstract: This paper describes 2 types of 2 DOF magnetic suspension systems
which suspend two iron balls or an iron stick type object. Both suspension
system controls 2 DOF of suspended object(s). The magnetic suspension forces
are controlled by a generator of magnetomotive force. This suspension system
must control two degrees of freedom without mechanical contacts. In iron stick
suspension system, a vertical displacement and a horizontal rotation of the
object should be controlled. This paper proves the feasibility of these
noncontact suspension systems. A theoretical analysis will be done on the model
of these suspension systems and numerical simulations carried out for
confirmation of performances.
