For the permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSM) with high-speed and largethrust under the periodic transient conditions, the corresponding length and cost requirements are large. This paper designs a toroidal long primary PMLSM. In order to analyze the characteristics of the motor, the expressions of the electromagnetic force and the air-gap magnetic flux density are derived, then the finite element comparison analysis is performed for the linear structure and the toroidal structure of the PMLSM. The results indicate that the space occupied by the toroidal structure is reduced greatly under the same performance index, the required power level has obvious advantages, and the acceleration and braking time are not limited by the stroke. The structure of toroidal PMLSM is further optimized so as to suppress the thrust fluctuation, the comparison of air-gap flux density and electromagnetic force finite element simulation results verifies the validity of the structural optimization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
