Abstract

An arrangement using sensing coils for obtaining flux rate of change information in a magnetic circuit. The arrangement can be used for vibration attenuation in a magnetic forcer system. Active (electric powered) circuitry is used to implement closed loop control of flux rate. The control loop is "tuned" for attenuating a narrow range of vibration frequencies. The arrangement can be applied to magnetic forcer/suspension systems in which vibrations due to magnetic, mechanical/magnetic runouts, system mechanical resonances, or external vibration sources are present.
