Axial Flux Ironless permanent magnetic synchronous motor (AFIPMSM) is a new permanent magnetic motor. It has many advantages, such as high torque-to-weight ratio, good efficiency, no cogging torque, and the sinusoidal back EMF. It gradually becomes the good choice in drive system. However, the small armature winding inductance causes the current is not continued with the PWM control based on VS...

This paper describes the finite element (FE)-based design of a slotted tubular permanent magnet actuator (TPMA) used in railway vehicle active lateral secondary suspension that improves the actuator’s thrust and lowers its cogging force under thermal and geometric constraints. To consider the electromagnetic and thermal fields and the complex interactions among the design variables, design was ...

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive sliding-mode control scheme is presented high precision position control for a permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (PMSLM) servo system under the influence of unknown parameters, nonlinear friction, cogging forces, and external distance. The proposed strategy effectively combines the design techniques of adaptive control and sliding-mode control. In ...

Linear motors are sensitive to disturbances and parameter variations. Certain types of linear motors such as the iron core are also subject to nonlinear e ects due to periodic cogging force and force ripple. An adaptive robust controller based on the discontinuous projection method is constructed to address these issues. In particular, based on the particular structures of various periodic nonl...

Control methods for pulsation of torque reduction for the surface-mounted permanent magnet motors are discussed in the paper. The pulsation torque is a consequence of the non-sinusoidal flux distribution and due to interaction of the rotor’s permanent magnets with the changing stator reluctance. Proposed control method is estimator based. To assure parameter convergence Lyapunov’s direct method...
