Magnetic Levitation

XdTech's single-axis active magnetic suspension system is a simple experiment that demonstrates several interesting concepts embedded in the theory and operation of magnetic levitation mechanisms. Our device has a novel variation wherein a constant magnetic field augments the levitation force, thus reducing the operating power requirement.

The system includes the electromechanical system, an integrated cabinet comprising analog interface unit, DC power supply, and power amplifier, an IBM PC based controller using a multifunction DAQ card and associated application software for Matlab connectivity.
