    摘要: A magnetic microactuator (100) including a coil (6; 61; 62) controlling the axial movement of a sliding block (30) including at least one permanent magnet (2) joined or aligned with a ferromagnetic or magnetised rear arbor (42) and guiding the field lines of the magnetic field of revolution in the axial direction (D) through the coil (6; 61; 62) wherein circulates the sliding block (30), up to a rear end (43) of said rear arbor (42) that tends to cooperate by magnetic attraction with at least one first ferromagnetic restoration element (8), located in the vicinity of a rear face (25) of the structure (20) of the microactuator (100), in order to bring said sliding block (30) back into a rear end-of-travel position when no coil (6; 61; 62) is powered.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a stellarator magnet based on cubic permanent magnet blocks and an arrangement optimization method thereof. For the characteristic that a three-dimensional magnet coil of a stellarator is complex in structure, the present disclosure provides the stellarator magnet based on the cubic permanent magnet blocks with uniform magnetization, same magnetization and same size; the magnetization directions of the cubic permanent magnet blocks are defined in a limited number of fixed alternative directions; the magnetic field configuration of the stellarator is generated by dipole magnetic fields provided by the permanent magnet blocks and planar coils, so that the device complexity of the stellarator is reduced, and the difficulty and cost of the machining and installation of the magnet are reduced. The shape of the permanent magnet blocks can be replaced by other regular shapes, and the permanent magnet is still formed by the permanent magnet blocks with same shape, same size, uniform magnetization and same magnetization. For the magnet, the present disclosure provides a magnet arrangement optimization method of ‘local compensation’ and related optimization strategies of ‘threshold truncation,’ ‘global fine tuning,’ etc., for meeting different optimization requirements on accuracy of the magnetic fields, usage qualities of magnets, etc., and a magnetic field meeting designing requirements can be obtained.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an electromagnetic soft actuator includes a first soft outer member comprising a soft internal electrically conductive coil, a second soft outer member comprising a soft internal electrically conductive coil, and a soft inner shaft on which the first and second soft outer members are mounted, the first and second soft outer members being linearly displaceable along a length of the soft inner shaft, the soft inner shaft comprising a permanent magnet, wherein the first and second outer members linearly move under an electromagnetic force relative to the soft inner shaft and each other when an electric current is applied to the soft internal electrically conductive coils.

    摘要: A bi-stable solenoid includes a housing, a wire coil, a permanent magnet, an armature, a pin, and a spring. The wire coil is arranged within the housing. The armature is slidably arranged within the housing and is moveable between a first armature position and a second armature position. The pin at least partially extends out of the housing and is slidably engaged by the armature. The spring is biased between the armature and the pin. When the pin encounters an intermediate position between a retracted position and an extended position due to the pin engaging an obstruction, the spring is configured to maintain a biasing force on the pin until the obstruction is removed.

    摘要: A magnetic deformable member includes a magnetic portion formed of a magnetic elastic body, and a base portion formed of a non-magnetic elastic body to cover at least a side surface of the magnetic portion. At least the magnetic portion has a magnetic deformable portion in which shape deformation is caused by application of a magnetic field. The magnetic deformable portion is provided at a boundary-side end portion on the boundary with the base portion. A display portion in which the shape deformation is displayed is provided on a front surface s1 of the magnetic deformable member. With the magnetic deformable member, a tactile feel or viewability of the display portion can be varied by deforming the boundary between the magnetic portion and the base portion.

    摘要: Provided according to the present invention is a solenoid with a built-in permanent magnet, with which it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of magnetic flux that passes through the chuck part, even when the magnetic flux generated by a coil is greater than the magnetic flux of the magnet, and to reliably reduce attraction force. In this solenoid, a permanent magnet and a coil are both built into a cylindrical case having an opening part; the permanent magnet and the coil are both separated and arranged inside the case; a ring member is arranged adjacent to the permanent magnet; a movable iron core is inserted inside the coil; and between the movable iron core and the coil, a metal coil cover is provided so as to cover the coil. The distance d between the case inner wall and the ring member can also be in the range of 0.1-0.3 mm.
