Abstract

Analysis of armature reaction field and inductance is extremely important for design and control implementation of electromagnetic machines. So far, most studies have focused on magnetic field generated by permanent-magnet (PM) poles, whereas less work has been done on armature reaction field. This paper proposes a novel analytical modeling method to predict the armature reaction field of a coreless PM tubular linear machine with dual Halbach array. Unlike conventional modeling approach, the proposed method formulates the armature reaction field for electromagnetic machines with finite length, so that the analytical modeling precision can be improved. In addition, winding inductance is also analytically formulated to facilitate dynamic motion control based on the reaction field solutions. Numerical result is subsequently obtained with finite-element method and employed to validate the derived analytical models. A research prototype with dual Halbach array and single phase input is developed. Experiments are conducted on the reaction field and inductance to further verify the obtained mathematical models.
