| Summary: | actuator/position sensor was fabricated and An actuator/position sensor was desired for Micrographics. application. Based on the actuator used in the be used as a successor to the actuator used in the characterized current microgravity vibration isolation system design analysis. The revised actuator design was also desired to allow integration of a position sensor into develop by NASA, Marshall Space Right Center. Some of experimentally. The experimental results showed improved characteristics of the actuator, especially its microgravity vibration isolating. The actuator is to position sensor, the problem of cross-axis sensitivity preliminary actuator design recognized during the previous system, a preliminary design was performed by recognized, but a scheme was devised to compensate reduced output positive dependence. As for the the actuate specifications were reevaluated initially the actuator magnetic held. A revised actuator design the actuator. An engineering unit of the this undesirable characteristic to some degree. to make them more appropriate for the particular tuned by utilizing unite element simulations to model using an analytical model. 'then the design was fine- was was made to overcome the shortcomings of the |
