Passionate about precision mechatronics? Join us in advancing cutting-edge technology! We're seeking a skilled Postdoc researcher to optimize the design and control of electromagnetic actuator
Job description
Mechatronic systems require continuous advancements to meet the growing demands for precision and energy efficiency. Over the last decade, the precision industry has focused on managing thermal effects to enhance accuracy. High-precision equipment often uses electromagnetic (EM) actuators in large motion systems to achieve sub-nanometer positioning accuracy. However, these actuators suffer from thermal dissipation due to ohmic heating of the coil. In levitation stages, EM actuators provide both propulsion (dynamic) and levitation (static) forces, with the latter causing significant heat dissipation, especially at standstill, thus impacting accuracy. Reducing heat dissipation in EM actuators is crucial for these applications.
This project aims to introduce a new class of EM actuators based on tuneable magnets (TM). A TM combines a low coercive permanent magnet (PM) with a coil to adjust the PM's magnetization and thus the output force/torque. TM actuators offer the versatility of conventional EM actuators along with the thermal stability and energy efficiency of passive devices like permanent magnetic bearings. Initial feasibility studies have shown the potential of TM actuators for static applications. However, theories on efficient tuning and optimal electromagnetic circuit design are needed for dynamic precision motion systems. Furthermore, accuracy and efficiency improvements in tuning are necessary for high-end applications.
The objective of this PostDoc position is to collaborate with a PhD student, a postdoctoral researcher, and an industrial user committee to develop a technology demonstrator, encompassing tasks such as mechanical design, flux measurement, and motion control, to showcase the features of tunable magnet actuators.
The industrial partners in this project are IDE Technology, MI Partners, and Settels Savanaije. We seek a Postdoc with expertise in electromagnetic actuator design and prototyping, as well as experience in controlling electromagnetic actuators.
The PostDoc will be integrated into the Mechatronic Systems Group, collaborating with colleagues conducting research on precision mechatronics, particularly in precision motion control, active damping, and the design and control of electromagnetic actuators. This group is part of the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME). The PME Department conducts research and offers education in high-tech systems and scientific instrumentation. Our goal is to address fundamental engineering science questions to enhance the performance and design of precision systems and devices. Our mission is to combine mechanical engineering principles with micro and nanoscience. We provide skilled professionals and contribute knowledge to maintain leadership in the high-tech systems industry.
