Which Motor is Better for Electromagnetic Damper Test Systems? Motor choice affects performance more than you think. The two main types, Iron Core and Ironless actuators, have distinct benefits and drawbacks.
Iron Core direct-drive linear actuators excel in long testing sessions, and when it comes to generating maximum power, they can be summed up as the more heavy-duty choice. They consist of a permanent magnet track, an air gap, and coils wound around a laminated iron core.
Ironless actuators have higher acceleration and are more precise; they replicate track profiles more accurately and are more suited to fine-tuning your damper performance. Their structure is as follows: a magnet track, an air gap, and a lightweight copper coil carrier.
Choose an Electromagnetic Damper Test System that suits your use case best.
The LABA7 EMA comes with an Ironless actuator by default, which grants the system superior accuracy, agility, and reliability. Iron Core solutions are available upon request.
