A contactless power supply (CPS) for the cabin of a magnetically levitated elevator is presented in this paper. In contrast to commercial stand-alone contactless power supply systems, a combined CPS and electromagnetic guiding system (MGS) is introduced. The inductive energy transmission is realized by utilizing the magnetic circuit of an actuator of the linear guiding. With this approach two devices...
Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are a therapy option for patients suffering from cardiac insufficiency. A VAD can unload the diseased heart and yield its recovery or bridge the time until a suitable donor organ is available. Besides the general requirement of establishing a sufficient perfusion of the human body without affecting the blood cells, a minimal invasive implantation technique relying...
Magnetic bearing systems have been the subject of intense research for many years. In many applications, they have matured to state-of-the-art machine components. In this paper, the improvement and application of a previously introduced axial magnetic bearing is described. This bearing, a tubular linear actuator (TLA), does not only avoid some constructional problems, but also it combines positive...
