Abstract

A superconducting actuator with multiple motions is proposed and experimentally investigated for the development of microelectrical machines. The disk-shaped YBCO bulk was located above the electromagnets and cooled down in the field-cooling method, which enabled the flux pinning. The YBCO bulk superconductor was driven in vertical, horizontal and/or self-rotation by PC-controlled coil currents using multiple electromagnets. The most suitable levitation stability was obtained when we used four electromagnets and NNSS trapped field type. It was confirmed that the levitation force and horizontal moving force strongly depended on the coil current and the air gap length, respectively.
