Optimization of adsorption performance of magnetic pole rotation magnetic grippers
The risks of losing magnetism upon power-off and high energy consumption are suffered by traditional electromagnetic grippers. And the problem of lacking the active magnetic force regulation function is still faced by permanent magnegrippers. A lightweight magnetic pole rotation gripper with optimized methodology was developed.
Methods
2
Based on the magnetic flux continuity principle and magnetic field superposition effect
the optimal design strategy integrating theoretical analysis
numerical simulation
and test verification was established through coordinated regulation of three key parameters: magnetic pole rotation angle
geometric dimensions
and air gap distance. The global optimal solution of the magnetic pole structural parameters was finally obtained.
Results
2
Both simulation and test results demonstrate that the optimized gripper achieves superior magnetic adhesion performance per unit mass compared to existing models. The proposed device exhibits distinctive advantages including compact structure
simplified control mechanism
and quasi-linear control characteristics
showing broad application potential in material handling operations.
