Ct. Liu et al., 3-DIMENSIONAL FIELD AND SIDE-FORCE DESIGN ANALYSES OF A TRANSVERSE FLUX LINEAR SWITCHED-RELUCTANCE MACHINE, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(4), 1998, pp. 2132-2134
This paper is intended to investigate the electromagnetic flux: distri
bution and side-force characteristics of a transverse flux linear swit
ched-reluctance machine (TFLSRM) by three-dimensional finite element m
ethod. With the flux path perpendicular to its moving direction, resul
ts showed that the TFLSRM is quite suitable for high speed linear moti
on applications, due to the generated electromagnetic side-force which
enhance the overall system guidance. From comparison analysis, concep
tual design suggestions on the machine pole shapes will also be suppli
ed.
