Abstract
In this paper, detent force is minimized using notch and slot-aputure width adjustment in a slotted PMLSM. This time, the moving model node technique has used to reduce the time and the effort for calculation according to changing design parameters. As the result, the detent force of proposed model is decreased from 9.44[N] to 0.97[N] compare with it of basic model greatly. The thrust Is decreased 1.3[$\%$] from 342.07[N] to 337.48[N] a little. The notch is applied to PMLSM simply, the detent force is reduced greatly.
