Abstract
The thrust force of moving magnet-type linear direct current motors (MM-LDM) is analyzed in this study. A moving magnet-type MM-LDM consists of a stator and a carriage. The stator is composed of two stick shaped electromagnetics and the carriage consists of a movable permanent magnet that is located between the two electromagnets. One of the methods for calculating the thrust force of an MM-LDM is to analyze the energy gradient which is determined by the distribution of magnetic flux. However, this method is very difficult when used to calculate the thrust force of this kind of LDM. This type of MM-LDM can be considered to be a transformer in which the magnet of the mover is assumed to be a one-turn coil carrying a large current. The stored energy in the MM-LDM can be obtained by measuring the self-inductance and the mutual-inductance of the equivalent circuit of the MM-LDM. And this energy gradient gives the thrust force. The calculation of the thrust force induced in this motor shows that the mutual inductance has a large influence on the generation of thrust force.
