A method for controlling drive of an actuator of an active vibration isolation support system allows the waveform of the lift of the actuator to be freely set, while avoiding the generation of heat in the actuator driver and a corresponding increase in the power consumption. Specifically, duty control of the voltage that is applied to the actuator is carried out in each of a large number of consecutive micro time regions such that the waveform of the lift of the actuator can be set freely, and by varying the number of consecutive micro time regions whose duty ratios change with a fixed pattern, the period over which the lift of the actuator changes can be set freely. Moreover, since electrical energy is not wasted as thermal energy in the actuator driver, the problems of heat being generated in the driver and increased power consumption can be avoided.
A method for controlling the drive of an actuator of an active vibration isolation support system that includes an elastic body receiving a load from a vibrating body, a liquid chamber having a wall of which at least a part is formed by the elastic body, a movable member which changes a capacity of the liquid chamber, and an electromagnetic actuator which drives the movable member, the method comprising the steps of:
