On the Stability of Electromechanical Switching Devices
Edgar Ramirez-Laboreo, Carlos Sagues, Eduardo Moya-Lasheras +1
Electromagnetic relays and solenoid actuators are commonly used for their bistable behavior, which allows for switching between two states in electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic ci…
An Audio-Based Iterative Controller for Soft Landing of Electromechanical Relays
Eloy Serrano-Seco, Edgar Ramirez-Laboreo, Eduardo Moya-Lasheras +1
Electromechanical relays and contactors suffer from strong collisions at the end of the switching operations. This causes several undesirable phenomena, such as clicking, mechanica…
Probability-Based Optimal Control Design for Soft Landing of Short-Stroke Actuators
Eduardo Moya-Lasheras, Edgar Ramirez-Laboreo, Carlos Sagues
The impact forces during switching operations of short-stroke actuators may cause bouncing, audible noise and mechanical wear. The application of soft-landing control strategies to…
Real-Time Electromagnetic Estimation for Reluctance Actuators
Edgar Ramirez-Laboreo, Eduardo Moya-Lasheras, Carlos Sagues
Several modeling, estimation, and control strategies have been recently presented for simple reluctance devices like solenoid valves and electromagnetic switches. In this paper, we…
Hybrid Dynamical Model for Reluctance Actuators Including Saturation, Hysteresis and Eddy Currents
Edgar Ramirez-Laboreo, Maurice G. L. Roes, Carlos Sagues
A novel hybrid dynamical model for single-coil, short-stroke reluctance actuators is presented in this paper. The model, which is partially based on the principles of magnetic equi…
Run-to-Run Control With Bayesian Optimization for Soft Landing of Short-Stroke Reluctance Actuators
Eduardo Moya-Lasheras, Carlos Sagues
There is great interest in minimizing the impact forces of reluctance actuators during commutations, in order to reduce contact bouncing, acoustic noise and mechanical wear. In thi…
