  • Patent number: 11604232
    Abstract: A control device controls a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator, and includes a magnetic field controller that controls the magnetic field generator based on a detected value by a magnetic field sensor. The magnetic field controller receives a command value generated by the magnetic field generator, and the detected value. The magnetic field controller generates an error signal based on an error between the command value and the detected value and outputs to the magnetic field generator a control signal amplified by a control gain against the error. The control gain includes: a first gain that becomes smaller as a frequency of the error signal gets higher; and a second gain that gets larger as an amplitude of the error signal gets larger.
