Research on the Axial Magnetic Levitation Force Acting on the Ring Magnet Suspended in Magnetic Fluid : Considering a Radial Eccentricity

The self-suspension of magnet in magnetic fluid has been widely used in micromechanical systems, sensors, and dampers. The magnetic field associated with the ring magnet is obtained by numerical calculation and simulation through which the axial magnetic levitation force is calculated, and the numerical calculation, simulation, and experimental results agree with each other. The influence of the radial eccentricity of the ring magnet on the axial magnetic levitation force is studied, the ring magnet will experience a maximum axial magnetic levitation force without radial eccentricity. With the increase of radial eccentricity and the decrease of the distance between the bottom of the ring magnet and container, the axial magnetic levitation force will continue to decrease. But it is worth noting that the magnitude of the change caused by radial eccentricity is negligible compared to that of the axial magnetic levitation force.
