Analyses of the effect of length difference between plunger and winding on tubular linear reluctance motor performance

Abstract

SUMMARYLength difference between plunger and winding is one of the most important issues in Tubular Linear Reluctance Motor (TLRM) design. Determining appropriate plunger length can have effect on TLRM output parameters, i.e. plunger speed, magnetic force and efficiency. In this paper, dynamic models of TLRM in two different conditions, i.e. equal and unequal length, using electrical and mechanical equations are proposed. Afterwards, the dynamic models of two conditions are simulated. The comparison of simulation results would determine the appropriate plunger length. Finally, in order to validate the modeling results, simulation and experimental results are compared.

Septi-segment switched reluctance machine: design, modeling, and manufacturing

“…Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is an appropriate machine for industrial purposes and domestic applications. This kind of machines can work at high speed applications and in rough conditions, because of their benefits such as; no magnetic source on the rotor, simple topology, high starting torque, high efficiency, and robustness . Reasonable cost and ease of use of the essential electronic components make SR motor as a practicable alternative to other commonly used motors like brushless DC, induction machines, and permanent magnet synchronous motors for various applications .…”

“…Nowadays, SRMs are used for a wide range of applications, such as aerospace industry, propulsion marine equipment, linear drivers, drilling equipment, hand tools and household appliances [1][2][3][4]. The main reasons for employing SRMs on scopes which have been mentioned above, is the low cost, the resistance to admitting error and high efficiency via variable speed [5].…”
