Electro-Mechanical Magnetic Actuator Systems (EMMAS)

电磁致动器系统(EMMA)项目旨在创造更安全、更快速、更可靠的机电致动器设计，包含适用于极端环境(宽温度范围和高振动)的电子设备。这些执行器将具有抗振动能力，具有热调节能力，需要的维护较少，并且在永久或暂时超载时能够抵抗“干扰”。执行器设计过程的所有方面都将在整个计划中进行评估。主要项目主题包括控制策略和驱动电子设备的开发，使用新型磁传动技术取代传统电机和轮系的研究，以及机电性能的全面系统分析。该项目的目标是提高机电驱动方面的技术能力，重点是提高可靠性、安全性和乘客体验。

The Electro-Mechanical-Magnetic Actuator Systems (EMMAS) project aims to create safer, quiter, more-reliable electro-mechanical actuator designs, containing electronics suitable for extreme environments (wide temperature ranges, and high vibration). These actuators will be vibration resiliant, have capacity to thermally regulate, require less maintenance, and be resistant to ‘jamming’ when permanently or temporarily overloaded. All aspects of the actuator design process will be evaluated throughout the program. The main program topics include the development of control strategies and drive electronics, investigation of using novel magnetic gearing technology to replace a conventional motor and gear train, and full system analysis of electro-mechanical performance. The objective of the project is to advance technology capability within electro-mechanical actuation, with a key focus on increasing reliability, safety and passenger experience.
