Abstract
Purpose
To present modelling and control technique of an electromagnetic actuator.
Design/methodology/approach
A 3D modelling technique of voltage‐forced electromechanical actuator takes into account: motion, magnetic non‐linearity and eddy current phenomena. Control problem of closed loop system is described by coupled electro‐magneto‐mechanical equations and non‐linear PID controller equations.
Findings
Presented methodology offers a powerful tool for analysis of control systems with distributed parameters models and may contribute to the improvement of the electromechanical performance of electrodynamic devices.
Originality/value
As original contribution a position feedback control using conventional PID controller is applied for iterative determining inverse dynamic problem, that is finding input voltage for a given position of an actuator.
