Abstract

This paper discussing all the design literature review for electromagnetic suspension systems for passenger vehicle. Electromagnetic suspension is the alternative for existing conventional suspension system that uses passive suspension system. Generally, linear motor is used in the design of the suspension. This is due to the behavior of the motor that can exert linear force directly to the attached load. In addition, the linear force from linear motor is controllable. This paperreview with the effects of all types of electromagnetic suspension systems to the passenger´s comfort. The reliability of fully active suspension system for vehicle also highlighted in this paper. A quarter-car model is used to assess the vehicle body vibration. This paper also deals with regenerative properties of linear motor that can improve the performance of lightweight vehicle.
