We propose a new miniature air-bearing stage with a moving-magnet slotless linear motor. This stage was developed to achieve the precise positioning required for submicron-level machining and miniaturization by introducing air bearings and a linear motor sufficient for mesoscale precision machine tools. The linear motor contained two permanent magnets and was designed to generate a preload force for the vertical air bearings and a thrust force for the stage movement. The characteristics of the air bearings, which used porous pads, were analyzed with numerical methods, and a magnetic circuit model was derived for the linear motor to calculate the required preload and thrust forces. A prototype of a single-axis miniature stage with dimensions of $120\;(W)\;{\times}\;120\;(L)\;{\times}\;50\;(H)\;mm$ was designed and fabricated, and its performance was examined, including its vertical stiffness, load capacity, thrust force, and positioning resolution.

Air gap flux density and d, q axis inductances of the Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor obtained by equivalent magnetic circuit method are compensated using results from Finite Element Method. For optimal design, the efficiency of the motor is taken as the objective function, and Genetic Algorithm finds the value of design parameters which maximize the objective function. The result of optimal designed motor is examined by comparison with proto-type motor.

For past decade, medium voltage circuit breakers have used the spring-driven mechanical system for interrupting of electric power. However, these mechanisms have many disadvantages of high power consumption, mechanical control components and electrical switching ones for the coil current. Recently, the vacuum interrupter operated by permanent magnet actuator gives outlook on improved characteristic, higher reliability and cost price reduction as well as the feature of simple structure and few components. This paper deals with the dynamic characteristics of permanent magnet actuator used in the medium voltage distribution systems. Coupled finite element method is used to analysis the dynamic characteristics of permanent magnetic actuator and we compared with those of conventional ones.

Inserted HTS (high temperature superconducting) coil is promisingly expected as a solution for achievement of higher fields such as GHz scale NMR magnet. However, HTS magnet causes persistent current decay in the persistent current mode and this decay should be compensated in order to keep stable magnetic field. As a solution for the decay in the HTS magnets, we proposed a new type superconducting power supply, i.e., linear type magnetic flux pump (LTMFP). The LTMFP mainly consists of DC bias coil, 3-phase AC coil and superconducting Nb foil. The compensating current in closed superconductive circuit can be easily controlled by the intensity of 3-phase AC current and its frequency. In this study, it has been investigated that the flux pump can effectively charge the current for various frequencies according to the different load magnets.

This paper presents the implementation and characteristic analysis of a drive system for a three-phase permanent magnet motor with independent excitation winding that is applicable for electric bicycles. The design features improves the phase current waveform, output power, and torque by using advance angle control. This adjusts the phase angle of each phase current in relation to back EMF. In addition, a DC-side PI current control is performed through PWM generation circuit using a low-cost one-chip microcontroller and a CPLD chip, resulting in reduced system costs. Finally, the validity of this control scheme for driving electric bicycles and output/torque improvement characteristics are verified through analysis and experimental results.

In the industrial field the necessity of the linear motion is increasing. We selected a moving magnet coreless type LDM, which have the advantages, such as long stoke, brushless, no cogging force. Actually, the design is accomplished using FEM analysis for the basic configuration of a magnetic circuit, and characteristic equations for coil design. In the course of design, we have estimated airgap flux density and thrust. We fabricated coreless type LDM and experimented static test. We compared measurement values with FEM analysis values.

The performance design and analysis of an electric motor for vehicles is very complicated due to the variety of parameters. This paper presents the design of the BLDC motor for electric air compressor in high voltage(42V) system and compares with the characteristics of IPM, SPM type BLDC motor. Futher, optimal design for the electric motor has been carried out using Equivalent Magnetic Circuit and FEM Modelling. By analyzing the design results, it is found that design parameters for BLDC motor provided an useful tool for vehicles motor design.

In this paper, designs of an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) and its motor driver for 42V automotive air condition system are introduced. The characteristics of the IPMSM are predicted by using d-q equivalent circuit having the parameters, such as current phase angle, d-q axis inductances, core loss resistance, etc. The experimental and analysis results of the prototype are compared to show validity of the analysis method, and to give analyzed characteristics in detail. As the result, an improved IPMSM is designed to widen the operating speed limit of prototype; a cost effective AC drive are considered at the same time.

This paper presents a method of reducing cogging torque and improving average torque by changing the dead zone angle of trapezoidal magnetization distribution of rotor magnet in ring type. Because brushless d.c. motor has 3D shape of overhang, 3D analysis should be used for computation of its magnet field. In this paper, Three Dimensional Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network method (3DEMCN) which can calculate an accurate 3D magnetic field has been introduced. The method has an advantage that nonlinear magnetic phenomena can be considered and the cogging torque analyses requesting the rotation of the rotor can be performed by the variation of magnetization distribution without remesh.

This study dealt with the design process of the 78 kW permanent magnet synchronous generator for engines. After the calculation of the basic dimensions through a theoretical method in the process of initial model design, FEA (finite-element analysis) and a d,q-axis equivalent circuit were used to identify the generator characteristics depending on the number of poles. With the use of the space harmonic analysis method, the back-EMF (electromotive force) and THD were checked, and then the number of slots was determined. In addition, the most optimized generator dimensions were determined through a sizing optimization technique. Based on this, the optimum model with enhanced efficiency, material costs, and temperature characteristics was derived, and the availability of the design method was confirmed through a comparative analysis of the initial and optimum models.
