Problem description The resonant magnetic actuator is frequently used in power toothbrushes. This actuator offers several advantages over a drivetrain that uses a permanent-magnet motor with an eccentric cam. It is significantly easier to achieve a quiet, high-frequency driver with a longer lifespan. Furthermore, the resonant drive can be considered a direct-drive system, which…

R&D
Many electromechanical systems rely on precise knowledge of how a component moves or changes shape during operation. Measuring position or dimensional characteristics of an element under controlled conditions can provide valuable insights into its condition and performance. This internship focuses on integrating sensors into a controlled test environment to measure these physical characteristics in real time.
