Paper title: NEW LINEAR ACTUATOR WITH FERROFLUID AND PERMANENT MAGNETS
Author(s): RADU OLARU, ALEXANDRU ARCIRE, CAMELIA PETRESCU,
Abstract: In this paper an actuator with a new magnetic configuration having a nonmagnetic
cylinder (or disc) in a ferrofluid differentially pre-magnetized by permanent magnets is
studied by simulation and experiment. This prototype shows superior performance
compared to an actuator with basic magnetic configuration. The new actuator exerts a
force approximately three times higher than the basic actuator. In addition, the transfer
characteristics, current versus displacement and force, have a better linearity.
