Linear Transverse Flux Reluctance Machine with Permanent Magnets

A new structure of linear transverse flux machine (TFM) is presented in this paper. It is in fact a variable reluctance linear machine having permanent magnets on the mover. Its structure and its working principle will be discussed. After a preliminary design of the motor a 3D FEM analysis was carried out before optimizing the designed linear motor. The flux densities in the machine and the sta...

Modeling and Static Analysis of Primary Consequent-Pole Tubular Transverse-Flux Flux-Reversal Linear Machine

A novel primary consequent-pole tubular transverse-flux flux-reversal linear machine (TTFFRLM) is proposed in this paper. The permanent magnets (PMs) of the machine are located on the inner surface of the short teeth of the primary iron cores for reducing the amount of PM in long stroke drive systems, and the primary is easily manufactured. The structure and principle of this machine are analyz...

Permanent Magnet Linear Transverse Flux Motors

The transverse flux machines (TFM), introduced at the beginning of the 80’s, are possible solutions for diverse applications requiring special electrical machines [1]. The researches have focused until now mainly on rotary TFMs. A new type of permanent magnet linear transverse flux reluctance machine is proposed here. Such machines can be successfully applied for example in conveyor application...

Design of a Transverse Flux Linear Motor

This paper presents design procedures of a transverse flux linear motor (TFLM). The minimum and maximum flux linkage was determined by the simplified equivalent magnetic circuit and estimated average magnetic flux density at the air gap region by considering the shape of applied magnetomotive force (MMF). With this information, the number of turns of each phase winding was calculated based on t...
