Abstract:The traditional rotary electromechanical converter has the problems of low linearity and small work range of static characteristics.To improve its performance, a novelrotating proportional electromechanical converter is designed.The static characteristics of the rotating proportional electromechanical converter arestudied by means of magnetic circuit analysis, Maxwell 3D static magnetic field finite element analysis and experimental tests. Meanwhile,a prototype isdeveloped and a series of experiments are conducted.Experimentalresults indicate that the proportional electromechanical converter has a working range from -5° to 5°, and the maximum torque is about ±252 mN·m. In addition,it has a positive magnetic stiffness.The experiment and simulation of torque values are concentrated within the 96 mN·m.The relative error is less than 6%, which meansthat electromechanical converter has good repeatability.Furthermore, the nonlinear error of the angletorque curve is less than 15%with a hysteresis of less than 35%,which demonstrates that the currenttorque curve has good linearity and low hysteresis. It proves that the test results are basically consistent with the simulation results.
