Introduction:
The inertial stabilization platform (ISP) is widely used in the earth observation system to stably track the line of sight of the payload because it could isolate vibrations and angular motions of the aviation platform.
Objectives:
an active magnetic actuator (AMA) system integrating the axial and the radial control is used to levitate the azimuth gimbal to improve attitude stabilization precision and dynamic performance of the ISP, and then the dynamic model of azimuth gimbal is developed.
Methods:
The magnetic force and the gimbal torque of the axial-radial integrated AMA system are investigated, and the attitude information of the suspended azimuth gimbal is measured.
Results:
The attitude stabilization precision of azimuth gimbal is confined at 0.02°, and the control bandwidth of the axial-radial integrated AMA system could exceed 100 Hz.
Conclusion:
the ISP with an axial-radial integrated AMA system has better attitude stabilization precision and wider control frequency than the pure mechanical ISP, so it is potential to be applied in the airborne remote sensing system to improve the measurement precision.
