  • VEHICLE TESTING
    Publication number: 20070044546
    Abstract: A vehicle testing system includes a wheel plate constructed and arranged to support a vehicle wheel. A linear electromagnetic actuator has a moving magnet mechanically coupled to the wheel plate constructed and arranged to impart a controlled substantially vertical force to the wheel plate. A spring may be mechanically coupled to the wheel plate to support at least a portion of a static mass of the vehicle.

  • Electromechanical transducing
    Publication number: 20050280218
    Abstract: An electromagnetic transducer including a stator and an armature, the armature defining a first axis and being driven to ride between first and second couplers back and forth relative to the stator along the first axis. The second coupler is configured to permit movement of the armature along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis.

  • Self-cooling actuator
    Publication number: 20050280318
    Abstract: An actuator for an active suspension system includes an armature and a housing enclosing an interior. The interior has a volume that varies in response to movement of the armature. A wall of the housing forms a first aperture through which air passes in response to movement of the armature.
