Abstract

The linear permanent magnet (PM) vernier machine (LPMVM) can reach a higher thrust density at low speed compared to the regular linear PM machines due to the utilization of the magnetic gear effect, which makes it a good solution for low-speed direct-drive applications. In order to further improve the machine thrust density, a novel LPMVM with consequent-pole and Halbach PM array is proposed and optimized in this paper. Then, in order to show the superior thrust performance of the proposed LPMVM, it is compared to two conventional LPMVMs in terms of back electric motive force (back EMF), thrust force, and power factor. It is found that machine no-load back EMF can be improved by 72.5% and its thrust density is 46% higher than that of the conventional LPMVM.
