Abstract

See full text

An inertial linear actuator for stabilizing a platform against vibration includes a movable coil having windings which may be energized, supported on an actuator guide for movement. The actuator guide is fixed to the platform and a current is supplied to the movable coil to generate a force for damping sensed vibrations on the platform surface. Permanent magnets parallel to the actuator guide, and a current in the movable coil results in a force being introduced between the movable coil and the stationary actuator guides. A control system on the platform supplies a feedback signal from an accelerometer coupled to the platform to drive electronics. The drive electronics produce a current having the magnitude and direction for creating the actuator force for damping the sensed disturbance.
