Abstract
A novel double-sided yokeless multitooth linear switched-flux permanent magnet (DYMLSFPM) motor is proposed to improve the electromagnetic performance of conventional double-sided linear switched-flux PM (DLSFPM) motor in terms of force ripple and cogging force. Its feature of structure is the multitooth primary without yoke. First, an analytical method of permeance model is developed for determining the optimal combination of primary slots and secondary poles. For DYMLSFPM motor with six primary slots, there are four available different secondary poles 16/17/19/20, respectively. By comparing the results of four combinations, it shows that the DYMLSFPM motor with 19 secondary poles can have better thrust force performance, which is also verified by the finite-element analysis. After all these four structures are optimized first by single-variable optimization and then by global optimization with genetic algorithm for further analysis, 6-slots/19-poles (6s/19p) combination can have the second highest average thrust force and the lowest thrust ripple. Moreover, it requires significantly smaller volume of PMs and exhibits much lower cogging force than conventional 6s/7p DLSFPM motor. Finally, a prototype of 6s/19p DYMLSFPM motor is manufactured and tested to validate the predicted results.
