Pantograph must be correctly attached to catenary to continuously supply stable power to railway vehicle, and the device used here is Auxiliary Air Compressor (ACM). The existing ACM used the DC motor that included commutator and brush. Since maintenance and repair by mechanical friction are essential for the DC motor, BLDC motor studies have been conducted to improve this. A three-phase BLDC motor does $120^{\circ}$ two-phase commutation through hall sensors in general. However, since hall sensor is vulnerable to heat and can run only when all three sensors work normally, sensorless control method has been studied to solve this. Using back EMF Zero Crossing Point (ZCP) detection method, this paper will introduce a stable switching sensing method that has a non-commutation area in a low speed zone.

This paper deals with the application of cylindrical Halbach array to a PM motor capable of producing pure rotary motion, pure linear motion, or helical motion, The proposed motor consists of an exterior polar Halbach array for a rotary motion and interior cylindrical Halbach array for a linear one. The two- dimensional space harmonic method is employed for predicting the electromagnetic characteristics, with reference to the following parameters as variables: magnetic field, torque/thrust and back emf.
