Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this study, we have developed an electrostatically suspended accelerometer (ESA) specifically designed for ground use. To ensure sufficient overload capacity and minimize noise resulting from high suspension voltage, we introduced a proof mass design featuring a hollow, thin-walled cylinder with a thin flange fixed at the center, offering the highest surface-area-to-mass ratio compared to various typical proof mass structures. Preload voltage is directly applied to the proof mass via a golden wire, effectively reducing the maximum supply voltage for suspension. The arrangement of suspension electrodes, offering five degrees of freedom and minimizing cross-talk, was designed to prioritize simplicity and maximize the utilization of electrode area for suspension purposes. The displacement detection and electrostatic suspension force were accurately modeled based on the structure. A controller incorporating an inverse winding mechanism was developed and simulated using Simulink. The simulation results unequivocally demonstrate the successful completion of the stable initial levitation process and suspension under +/- 1g overload.
