This paper focuses on the analysis and compensation of thrust ripples in permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSM). The main drawback in PMLSMs is the presence of thrust ripples, which are mainly due to the interaction between the permanent magnets and armature slotted core. These thrust ripples reduce the performance of the drive system in high precision applications especially at low speeds. This paper analyzes thrust ripples using the discrete wavelet transform. These undesired thrust ripples are compensated by using an adaptive feed forward controller. It is observed that this novel controller reduces about 65 percent of the thrust ripples. An extensive simulation is performed through MATLAB and it is validated through experimental results using a d-SPACE system with a DS1104 control board.

LPM(Linear pulse motor) has made linear motions by itself. And the LPM has higher thrust force ratio to mass and more wide driving speed lunges comparing with the conventional rotating type motors. However, there are the thrust force ripples in the LPM, which are produced by the mechanical structures and nonlinear back emf. It makes to hesitate the practical applications of LPM. Especially, it becomes needed to reduce the thrust force ripples for practical, which needs relative low driving speeds. For reducing the thrust force ripples, in the first place, it was built a new nonlinear linkage flux equations of the LPM. In these equations, the influence of permanent magnetic and variable reluctance thrust force components were considered. In this paper, some experimental results in the modeling of LPM are shown and detent lone and holding force characteristics of LPM are measured.
