Abstract: Authors made a single-point suspended electromagnetic
suspension (EMS) system. This EMS system was applied to the carrier of a
transport system. The pitching motion of the carrier converges faster than
our physical expectation when the carrier is accelerated or decelerated. The
eddy current loss in the iron plate and iron cores due to pitching motion
was calculated by a 3D magnetic field analysis software. The calculation
result and the experimental one made it clear that such swing convergence is
caused by eddy current loss.
