Abstract

The paper presents the operating principle, experiments and calculations of a magnetic spring. Force exerted by the magnetic spring is a result of interaction of magnetic fields formed by magnets and coils. The stiffness of the spring can be modified by changing the current in coils. The paper presents FE model of the spring. Static characteristic of the spring were determined using results of FE method calculations and experiments. The magnetic spring with switched stiffness was employed in one degree of freedom system.
