چکیده
As one of variable valve timing (VVT) approaches, the electromechanical valve actuator (EMVA) uses solenoid to actuate valve movement independently for the application of internal combustion engine. This paper proposed an EMVA structure by incorporating the hybrid magneto-motive force (MMF) implementation in which the magnetic flux is combined by the coil excitation and permanent magnets. Making use of the dedicated flux arrangement, the proposed device can be used to fulfill the VVT features with reduced power source requirement and less electric device components. A dual flux channels EMVA is detailed and the design procedures are presented. Comparing with the conventional EMV, the proposed prototype shows a lot of advantages such as compactness, high temperature tolerance, fast response, relieve of starting current, and variable current actuating timing.

This paper addresses modeling analysis and the soft seating control of an electromagnetic actuator used in electromechanical camless valvetrains. Our mathematical modeling analysis reveals the instability of the actuator dynamics linearized around the seating position and zero velocity. This implies that open loop pulse shaping alone cannot render repeatable valve closing and seating motion. Cl...

This paper deals with a hybrid actuator composed by a piezo and a hydraulic part and with a cascade PID-PD control structure for camless engine motor applications. The idea is to use the advantages of both, the high precision of the piezo and the force of the hydraulic part. In fact, piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) are commonly used for precision positionings, despite PEAs present nonlinearities...
