Abstract: Nowadays, electromagnetic linear oscillatory actuators are used as vibration control devices because of their high controllability. However, there is a problem that thrust and vibration are small at a wide drive frequency range. In order to improve this problem, we propose a new linear oscillatory actuator that can easily change its own characteristics by using two sets of coils. Through finite element analysis, large vibration was observed at 100 Hz in a series connection, and large vibration and high thrust were observed at 70 Hz and 140 Hz in a parallel connection. From these results, we verified that the actuator had two different characteristics due to switchable connections, and could generate high thrust and large vibration by smaller currents at a wide drive frequency range. Keywords: linear oscillatory actuator; variable characteristics; finite element analysis

1. Introduction Recently, problems have been caused by mechanical vibrations [1,2]. Passengers often feel uncomfortable, especially in automobiles by a frame vibration that is generated by an engine. In order to solve the problem, active vibration control devices have been developed [3–7]. In these devices, many electromagnetic linear oscillatory actuators are used because of their high controllability. However, the electric power of these actuators is relatively high. Therefore, a high thrust and large vibration due to small currents have been required at a wide drive frequency range. In previous studies, actuators with improved magnetic circuits have been proposed [8,9]. However, the effectiveness of the improved magnetic circuit is still low for the high thrust and vibration characteristics. Here, we have developed an actuator using a regenerative energy, as shown in Figure 1 [10]. Furthermore, the actuator is verified to realize variable characteristics under high thrust and large vibration by changing the coil connection, as shown in Figure 2. However, the previous actuator has difficulty manufacturing because a mover is sandwiched by two stators. In this paper, a new and simple actuator that has variable characteristics for high thrust and large vibration is proposed [11]. The operational principle is described, and its characteristics are computed using finite element analysis. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed actuator is discussed.

In the proposed actuator, a thrust constant is expressed by Equation (1). F Iinput

where F is the thrust, I1 and I2 are the currents in Coil 1 and Coil 2, respectively, Iinput is the input current, and A1 and A2 are thrust constants of Coil 1 and Coil 2, respectively. In the series connection, the current in Coil 1 and Coil 2 are equal to the input current, and a thrust constant is derived as Equation (2). In the parallel connection, the current in Coil 1 and Coil 2 are equal to the input current and induced current, respectively, and a thrust constant is derived as Equation (3).

where Iinduced is the induced current. From these equations, a thrust constant is constant in the series connection and is not constant in the parallel connection. When the actuator is driven at a constant frequency, a thrust constant in the series connection is higher than that in the parallel connection because the phase of the induced current is almost opposite to the input current, and thrusts generated by each current are cancelled in the parallel connection. When the actuator is driven at other frequencies, a thrust constant in the series connection is lower than that in the parallel connection because the phase of the induced current is almost the same as the input current, and thrusts generated by each currents are superimposed in the parallel connection. The oscillation of the mover is influenced by the mechanical resonance in the series connection. On the other hand, the oscillation is influenced by the mechanical resonance and induced current in the parallel connection. From these operations, the frequency characteristics of the thrust and vibration are different and depend on the conditions of the coils. In other words, high thrusts and large vibration can always be generated under lower current by changing the coil connections according to the drive frequency. 3. Analysis Method In order to verify the operational principle of the proposed actuator, a magnetic field analysis with a motion and circuit equations was conducted as shown in Figure 7 [13,14]. In the magnetic field analysis, the magnetic fluxes are calculated from Maxwell's equation using the 2-D finite element method. Additionally, the electromagnetic force is calculated by the Maxwell's stress method. In the circuit analysis, a current in the series connection is calculated from a circuit equation shown in Equation (4). . .

Figures 8 and 9 show the currents, thrusts, and mover positions at 70 and 100 Hz, respectively. Figures 8 and 9 show the currents, thrusts, and mover positions at 70 and 100 Hz, respectively. When the actuator is driven at 70 Hz, the thrust constants in the series and parallel connections are When the actuator is driven at 70 Hz, the thrust constants in the series and parallel connections are 21 Namp/Aamp, and 41 Namp/Aamp, respectively. Furthermore, when the actuator is driven at 100 Hz, the 21 Namp /Aamp , and 41 Namp /Aamp , respectively. Furthermore, when the actuator is driven at 100 Hz, thrust constants in the series and parallel connections are 21 Namp/Aamp and 3 Namp/Aamp, respectively. the thrust constants in the series and parallel connections are 21 Namp /Aamp and 3 Namp /Aamp , The thrust constant in the parallel connection is higher than that in the series connection at 70 Hz respectively. The thrust constant in the parallel connection is higher than that in the series connection because the phase difference of the currents is almost zero and is lower at 100 Hz because the phase at 70 Hz because the phase difference of the currents is almost zero and is lower at 100 Hz because difference is opposite, as shown in Figures 8c and 9c. The vibration amplitudes per input current the phase difference is opposite, as shown in Figures 8c and 9c. The vibration amplitudes per input amplitude (vibration constants) in the series and parallel connections are 0.41 mmamp/Aamp and current amplitude (vibration constants) in the series and parallel connections are 0.41 mmamp /Aamp and 0.91 mmamp /Aamp , respectively, at 70 Hz. The vibration constants in the series and parallel connections are 1.18 mmamp /Aamp and 0.23 mmamp /Aamp , respectively, at 100 Hz. The vibration constant in the series connection is larger at 100 Hz because of the mechanical resonance frequency (96 Hz) depending on the mover weight and the spring stiffness, and that in the parallel connection is larger at 70 Hz due to the higher thrust constant.
