Abstract
This study considers the reduction of the force ripple of a permanent magnet linear synchronous machine (PMLSM). The PMLSM has a relatively large magnetic air gap. Therefore, a slotted type of stator structure is generally employed. Furthermore, the detent force, which is caused by the energy imbalances owing to the interaction between the teeth-slot structures and the permanent magnets, must be minimized for better start-up performance. Therefore, in this study, the addition of the auxiliary teeth and teeth notching are employed to reduce the detent force. In particular, the influence of the auxiliary teeth and notching on the detent force is analyzed, and an experiment is performed to verify the proposed design.
