Abstract

We present the modeling, parameter identification and design procedure of a linear voice-coil motor. A numerical simulation has been carried out to facilitate system integration. In particular, we use electromechanical analogy and the time-domain identification procedure with the eigensystem realization algorithm to predict the system response. In order to evaluate the performance of the voice-coil motor, we conducted an experimental investigation. Voice-coil motors mounted on a ball bearing housing are used for generating counter forces to cancel the transverse vibrations of a shaft. A controller is designed by using generalized predictive control. Multiple channel active control systems are implemented on the platform of a digital signal processor. Numerical and experimental results indicated that the designed actuators were effective in suppressing the periodic disturbances in rotors.
