Abstract

This paper presents a novel two-degree-of-freedom (two-DOF) passive damping system dedicated to the vibration suppression of a dual-axis precision force sensor. The damping system consists of two identical eddy current dampers (ECDs), each of which utilizes a double-layer Halbach-array permanent magnet (PM) structure and a middle-layer copper plate to generate a large damping force. Analytical models are established to predict the damping characteristic of the ECD. The finite element simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the analytical models. The simulation results indicate the large damping coefficient of the developed ECD.
