| Abstract |
Recently, advances in office and factory automation equipment have led to the development and commercialization of direct drive systems using linear motors. However, the authors have yet to witness the practical development of a direct-drive Surface Actuator ("SFA") that can operate in these two directions under direct drive and using only one motor. In view of this situation, the authors proposed an SFA that enables bidirectional motion and reported upon its basic structure and specifications. In this paper, the authors will show the mathematica! development that supports its bidirectional control system, and report on the results of prototype drive tests. |
