Modal Analysis of Maglev Linear Feed Unit

The structural and working principle of a kind of maglev linear feed unit for CNC engraving and milling machine tools are presented, and its mathematical model is analyzed, then its model of vibration is established in this paper. The modal analysis is made, the natural frequency is calculated with its vibration models, and the influence on the natural frequency of electromagnetic levitation bearing unit, which is caused by stiffness and damping coefficients of electromagnetic levitation bearing, is analyzed respectively by means of ANSYS software. The calculation and analysis presented in this paper can help us design the structure of the maglev linear feed unit for CNC engraving and milling machine tools, and can also establish a solid foundation for further etailed dynamics analysis.
