Experimental validation of 5 kN model electromagnetic vibration damper and design of a real-size 120 kN machine

The electromagnetic vibration damper consists of a stator including many phases (24 for the model, 16 for the real-size machine) and a solid smooth rotor. The drive device provides four-quadrant operation for each phase. The authors present the experimental validation of the 5 kN model machine, with its electronic power drive. A complete computational model is described and validated. The study is then applied to the design of a real-size 120 kN machine
