Analysis on the Air-Gap Magnetic Field and Force of the Linear Synchronous Motor with Different Winding Distribution.

Abstract

Based on the long-stator permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), motor structures with different pole-slot ratios are designed by changing the distribution of armature windings. A magnetic field analytical model of the motor is developed, the no-load magnetic field characteristics of the motor are calculated, and the results are compared and verified with those obtained by the finite element analysis (FEA). The influences of back-electromotive force (EMF) and armature reaction on the no-load magnetic field under different slots are studied. Through fast Fourier transform, the harmonic characteristics of the magnetic field in different structures are analyzed. Then, the cogging force and thrust characteristics generated by the motor in different structures are compared. The research results provide certain references for motor design.
