Abstract

Linear switched-reluctance motor (LSRM) is investigated and proved to be an alternative for direct linear driving systems, especially for long-distance transportation applications, such as vertical elevator driving motor. This paper presents the design, sensitivity analysis, and optimization of a toroidally wound mover LSRM with segmental stator. The presented LSRM has much higher copper utilization ratio and flux carrying capability than the conventional LSRM for vertical linear propulsion application. The features of motor performance influenced by various geometrical parameters are described using magnetic circuit and finite element analysis to give the guidelines for selecting the reasonable range of those parameters of this kind of machine. Furthermore, an optimization procedure is performed to obtain the optimal machine dimensions considering active payload ratio and force ripples. Finally, the experimental results from the prototype validate the design procedures and analysis above.
