A low cost eddy current displacement sensor for active magnetic bearings
(North-West University, 2008)
The McTronX research group of the North-West University is involved in active magnetic bearing (AMB) research. An AMB is a mechatronic system that levitates a rotating axis with electromagnetic forces. The group has ...
Development of an integrated co-processor based power electronic drive
(North-West University, 2008)
The McTronX research group at the North-West University is currently researching self-sensing techniques for Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB). The research is part of an ongoing effort to expand the knowledge base on AMBs ...
Cathodic protection system design framework for the petrochemical industry
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
The aim is to establish a cathodic protection (CP) system design framework for the petrochemical industry in South Africa. The CP system design framework is destined to be used as a guideline when designing CP systems for ...
A comparative study on the control of active magnetic bearings
(North-West University, 2005)
The aim of this project is to perform a comparative study on different control techniques applied to active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The project will involve the evaluation of two suitable nonlinear modem control techniques ...
The development of a fully suspended AMB system for a high-speed flywheel application
(North-West University, 2007)
The School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at the North-West University is currently in the process of developing an active magnetic bearing (AMB) laboratory. The idea is to establish a knowledge base ...
