This paper describes the development of a novel transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) excited by permanent magnets (PMs). It combines the advantage of two different TFLMs and produces high thrust with reduced normal force. The magnetic field is analyzed by combining the three-dimensional (3D) equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method with 2D finite element analysis. The experimental findings of the prototype motors are in good agreements with the analysis results, and demonstrate the potential of the proposed motor as a direct drive requiring relatively long displacement of a mover.

A computational method for analysis of the 3 dimensional electro-magnetic induction problems has been developed. The developed method is capable of modeling the induced current and analyzing its characteristics using only scalar Potential at each node. A benchmark model of asymmetrical conductor with a hole is analyzed to verify the application of the developed method. The calculated value of magnetic flux density are compared with the measured value, and the results indicate that the developed method is valid. Also, Comparing with 3-D finite element method (FEM) results, we conformed effectiveness of the developed method for the accuracy and computation times.

The multiobjective optimization (MO) problem usually includes the conflicting objectives and the use of conventional optimization algorithms for MO problem does not so good approach to obtain an effective optimal solution. In this paper, genetic algorithm (GA) as an effective method is used to solve such MO problem of brushless DC motor (BLDCM). 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method which enables us to reduce the computational burden is also used to consider the 3D structure of BLDCM. In order to effectively obtain a set of Pareto optimal solutions in MO problem, ranking method proposed by Fonseca is applied. The objective functions are decrease of cogging torque and increase of torque respectively. The airgap length, teeth width and magnetization angle of PM are selected for the design variables. The experimental results are also shown to confirm the validity of the optimization results.

This paper presents an analysis method for a permanent magnet excited Transverse Flux Linear Motor (TFLM) with spiral core in a mover. The spiral core is used as mover core in order to make 3-dimensional magnetic flux path at the TFLM which has 3-dimensional magnetic flux flow. Magnetic field is analyzed by three-dimensional Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network (EMCN) method. And an imaginary part, 'flux barrier,' is introduced to consider the spiral core characteristic. The computed thrust forces is compared to the measured results to show the effect of presented analysis method.

This paper deals with a Double-type Transverse Flux Linear Motor which can be applied to high power system. This type can reduce overall system volume because it has a double flux path, and less number of phases and turns comparing with prototype for one phase. This machine is based on permanent magnet excitation, and the pole shape is designed to reduce attraction force between stator and mover poles. In the paper, the basic configuration of double type is introduced first, and the principle of movement is explained. After performing the characteristic analysis by 3-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network, the results are discussed.

This paper introduces the improved analysis method for PMDC (Permanent Magnet DC) motors. The effect of field yoke is considered by equivalent area. Overhang effect, caused by different axial length of magnet and armature, is analyzed by 3D EMCN(Equivalent Magnet Circuit Network) method. Then brush contact resistance and mechanical loss extracted by experimental data are used in characteristic analysis. The validity of the proposed method is verified by the comparison of analysis results and experimental ones.

This paper deals with the core loss calculation of a BLDC motor made of Soft Magnetic Composite material. Since the teeth of motor partially have overhang in axial direction, 3 - dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network (3D-EMCN) is used as an analytical method to get flux density of each element. The total core loss is calculated with the magnetic flux density and core loss curves of the SMC material. The calculated result is compared with core loss of the motor without overhang in stator teeth.

The design and analysis of electrical machines often require analytical models for performance assessment and system simulation. Inductances are important parameters of these models. In this paper, the methods of calculating apparent and incremental inductances are introduced for a transverse flux linear motor, which has a peculiar coil shape. The computation is accomplished by nonlinear three dimensional finite element method(FEM) and equivalent magnetic circuit network(EMCN). The improved method has been verified by a test result.
