Popis: This paper presents a magnetic means of accumulating kinetic energy from a traversing rod (TR) used to guide yarn during winding processes on rotor spinning machines. A passive magnetic system for accumulating kinetic energy at the reversal points of reciprocating motion is introduced, and its unique repulsive magnetic force is described in relation to the specific traversing-motion characteristic. The magnetic damping force phenomenon and preconditions for its application in the machine are also defined and discussed. We also show magnetic field optimisation by means of pole-piece geometry modification to obtain a magnetic force characteristic that closely approximates the required motion characteristic. Thus, the efficiency of kinetic-energy accumulation at the reversal points of the reciprocating motion of the TR is increased. The utilisation of an eddy-current effect on the accumulator body to apply the magnetic-damping phenomenon for vibration reduction is also described. The results of this work demonstrate the promise of the system using modern rare-earth compound-based magnets applicable not only to the studied traversing system but also to various mechanical devices as a non-contact means of reducing deformation and vibration. The developed and experimentally verified mathematical models presented here represent a useful tool for further optimisation of specific applications in the field of mechanics.
