Abstract

This paper describes the development of a novel transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) excited by permanent magnets. It combines the advantage of two different kinds of TFLMs and produces high thrust force with reduced normal force. Magnetic field is analyzed by coupling three-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method with two-dimensional finite element analysis. The experimental results of prototyped motors are in good agreements with the analysis ones, and show the possibility of the new suggested motor as a direct drive requiring relatively long displacement of a mover
