Experimental Investigation
Chapter
Abstract
In this chapter, the experimental investigation is conducted on the prototype of the PM spherical actuator to verify the analytical magnetic field model and torque model proposed in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. The experimental investigation of the PM spherical actuator consists of two major tasks: measurement of magnetic field distribution and torque variation.
