Abstract
Permanent-magnet (PM) width-modulation array is designed to solve the issues resulting from big pole-pitches of PMLSMs in high-speed and high-precision systems. PM width-modulation array provided in this paper is a kind of segmented magnetic-pole structure, featuring low PM eddy currents and low thrust ripples. First, the magnetomotive force (MMF) excited by the PM width-modulation array is analyzed to prove its feasibility, the PM eddy current of the novel array is studied to show its advantage in high-speed applications, and the electromagnetic models of two PM width-modulation arrays are established, which are designed by the equal area method and the triangular modulation method, respectively. Then, the thrust features and the PM usage amounts of the two PM width-modulation arrays are analyzed by the finite element method (FEM) and the performance comparisons are presented. The prototype is manufactured and tested to verify the analytical results. The experimental data agree well with the simulations and analyses.
