SUMMARY OF THE DESIGN OF A MAGNET SUSPENSION AND BALANCE SYSTEM FOR THE AEROSPACE RESEARCH LABORATORIES.

Abstract

The design of a six-component magnetic suspension and balance system for use in wind tunnels is summarized. The general features of the magnet system, model-position sensing system, compensation system, and power amplifiers are described. The auxiliary equipment required for magnet cooling and safe operation of the balance is outlined. (Author)
