A Dynamic Model for a Pulse Electromagnetic Drive with a Controlled Striker Position

A simulation dynamic model is proposed for a pulsed electromagnetic drive with striker position control actualized by means of structural simulation provided by the MATLAB/Simulink software package with the use of numerical methods. The model takes into account the nonlinear properties of the magnetic materials under application, as well as the scattering fluxes and energy losses in the electromechanical system of the electromagnetic drive. The use of the model for analysis of electromechanical processes and adjustments in choosing main structural elements makes it possible to improve the design quality of single-winding electromagnetic drives with an elastic reverse of the striker. A quantitative estimate of the simulation results is presented. It has been noted that it is worthwhile to control the kinetic energy at the output of a pulsed electromagnetic drive in the course of the working stroke of the striker.
