description The existing simulation method for the control of linear or planar magnetically levitated actuators always ignores the characteristics of the real physical object, which deteriorates the accuracy of the simulation. In this work, the proposed emulator for the magnetically levitated actuator is developed to consider both the force characteristics and the control algorithm. To model the real controlled object, the mathematical model for 1D (one-dimensional) and 2D (two-dimensional) magnetic arrays is derived where the yaw angle is taken into consideration using the coordinate transformation. The solution of the mathematical model is compared with the commercial BEM (boundary element method) software and the measurements from a force and torque testing setup to highlight the accuracy of the proposed mathematical model. Compared with the traditional simulation method of the motion control systems founded on the simplified system transfer function, the proposed simulation method has higher consistency and is closer to reality. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed magnetic force model are further verified by the emulator based on the numerical force model and the testing data of the real setup.
