This paper presents a general analytical method for predicting the magnetic fields of different Halbach magnet arrays with or without back iron mounted on slotless permanent magnet (PM) linear machines. By using Fourier decomposition, the magnetization components of four typical Halbach magnet arrays are determined. By applying special synthetic boundary conditions on the PM surfaces, the expressions of their magnetic field distributions are derived based on the magnetic scalar potential (MSP), which are simpler than those based on the magnetic vector potential (MVP). The correctness of the method is validated by finite element analysis. The harmonics of airgap flux density waveforms of these Halbach magnet arrays with or without back iron are also compared and optimized.

The article presents the results and findings obtained through the assembly of opposing linear Halbach arrays from two magnet layers using large magnetic blocks from permanent NdFeB magnets, especially concerning the distribution of magnetic induction in an air gap. The use of these large blocks has led to a significant expansion of the area of magnetic field with a substantially higher value of magnetic induction in comparison with similar linear Halbach arrays composed of small magnets. The paper also discusses the determined dependences of magnetic induction on the parameters of the x, y, z coordinate system and indicates the possibilities of achieving an even stronger magnetic field in a larger volume of an air gap for application for instance in equipment for magnetic separation of raw materials, in instrument technologies and in other areas.

In this paper, magnetic flux distributions of several permanent magnet arrays, including Halbach array, are analyzed and compared. Also, braking force characteristics on a moving solid conductor in the eddy current brake systems with such magnet arrays are analyzed. Then, a new performance index taking into account the maximum braking force and the volume of the magnet is introduced for the comparison and case study of permanent magnet arrays. By changing the lengths, magnetization directions and the height of the permanent magnet arrays, a higher braking force per volume of the magnet can be achieved.

This paper examines the effect of the magnetization pattern on the partial demagnetization of a permanent magnet (PM) machine that uses a ferrite magnet. Although the use of halbach-magnetized PM (HMPM) arrays in PM machines has been dramatically increasing because of their attractive features, the demagnetization characteristics of HMPM arrays have not yet been examined. In this study, two analyses of the demagnetization characteristics of HMPM arrays and parallel magnetized PMs (PMPMs) are performed, with the demagnetization characteristics being analyzed using a finite element method. According to our results, partial demagnetization occurred dramatically in the HMPM arrays. Thus, it is important to consider the vulnerability of HMPM arrays when designing PM machines.

본 논문에서는 환형 영구자석을 이용한 스러스트 베어링의 최적설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 영구자석형 스러스트 베어링은 두 조의 환형 영구자석으로 이루어지며, 한 조의 영구자석이 다른 한 조의 영구자석 내부에위치한다. 영구자석간의 축방향 변위 (엇갈림)에 의해 축방향 힘이 발생하고 이를 통해 스러스트 베어링 역할을 하게 된다. 최소한의 영구자석으로 베어링 부하용량을 만족하는 베어링 설계 파라미터를 구하기 위해 본 논문에서는 등가전류판 방법을 이용하여 해석적 설계식을 유도하고, 적절한 제한 조건을 설정하여 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 최적 설계 결과는 3 차원 유한요소해석을 통해 검증하였다. 본 논문에서 고려한 축방향 배열과 Halbach 배열의 스러스트 베어링 중 Halbach 배열이 축방향 배열에 비해 동일한 부피의 영구자석으로 더 큰 부하용량을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 등가전류판 방법의 유효성을 3 차원 유한요소해석을 통해 검증하였고, 축방향 배열보다Halbach 배열이 등가전류판 방법의 가정에 좀 더 민감하게 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper deals with a dynamic analysis and a position control for air-core type linear synchronous motor with Halbach array (HA) permanent magnet mover. The primary coils are designed to be air-cored, so the HA-PMLSM don't exist the detent force. The secondary HA array of PMs does not require any ferro-magnetic yoke and excites stronger magnetic flux density and closer to the sinusoids than a conventional PM array.

In this paper, we presented a study on the design of permanent magnet rotor for exterior rotor type brushless direct current(BLDC) motor. To reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple, the specific shape and magnetization pattern of permanent magnets in BLDC motors are suggested. Firstly, four permanent magnet models with different shapes and magnetization arrays are presented. The results from the finite element method(FEM), the most effective model for reducing cogging torque and torque ripple was presented. In addition, to confirm the steady state performance, the torque-speed characteristic analysis has been performed with variable speed and load. Finally, the best permanent magnet model for reducing cogging torque and torque ripple with appropriate torque-speed performance was selected through the comparison according to the device volume.
