    The document summarizes a preliminary design review for a magnetic bearing project. The project aims to levitate an axle using electromagnets controlled by an FPGA based on input from optical sensors. Key objectives are a 1D proof of concept and a magnetic ring bearing with axial control. Major components discussed include sensors, an FPGA, electromagnets, current control, and a power supply. A timeline, division of labor, risks, and funding sources are also outlined.

    Lauren Glogiewicz Jacob Beckner Kevin Bodkin James Holley Philip Terry

    Project Description
    Different bearing design using magnetic fields Electromagnets will levitate an axle Optical sensors monitor position of axle FPGA interprets data to control electromagnets System less prone to mechanical restraints

    Why Magnetic Bearings?


    Eliminates friction present in mechanical bearings o Higher speed of rotation possible o Fewer parts require maintenance o Not as susceptible to heat

    Design Constraints
    Speed of Control
    o o

    Need a tight control loop between sensors & FPGA Electromagnets need to be adjusted continuously

    Power
    o o

    Electromagnets are typically high power Bearings only useful if energy efficient

    Budget

    199 I/O pins o 8 magnet control with 12-bit accuracy Re-programmable with Altera software 100 MHz maximum clock frequency

    Jake

    Electromagnets
    Found source of low-cost, high-power magnets
    Currently testing two models:
    o o

    1" Magnet: 3 V, 5.5 W, 25 lb holding force 2" magnet: 6 V, 7 W, 105 lb holding force

    Kevin

    Current Control
    Will receive information from the FPGA
    Information fed to D/A converter to amplifier Amplifier will feed into BJT-based current source Will change the strength of the electromagnets Current limited based on the magnet used

    Kevin

    Power Supply
    Need the following: o 15 V for OpAmps o 6 V +/- mV for magnets o 3.3 V for integrated circuits
    Initial work using power supplies & 12 V batteries Final design should use wall power
