Abstract

A large-gap magnetic suspension system with five degrees-of-freedom is presented. The system is multi-input multi-output with coupling between degrees-of-freedom. Simulation was performed on this multi degree-of-freedom system in order to control each degree-of-freedom separately. Two types of controllers are considered by adding white noise to a single degree-of-freedom system in order to test their behavior and determine which is the best choice for the system. The responses of the system are produced in continuous and discrete time where a sample interval and delay time was introduced. Using these responses, a comparison between each degree-of-freedom was made and the maximum value of the delay time was determined.
