Abstract :
The edge effect of the secondary reaction plate is influenced on performances of single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM). Considering shapes of the secondary reaction plate, it will be improved the thrust force of SLIM. Thickness and overhang length of reaction plate are weighty design factors for reducing the transverse edge effect. For the optimal design of secondary reaction plate of SLIM, magnetic equivalent circuit is used [1]. Two and three dimensional finite element analysis (FEM) is applied for validation of design parameters. And SLIM testing machine is used for validity of design optimization.
