Abstract
To incorporate the merits of simple and robust movers of induction linear motors and higher power factor and high efficiency of permanent magnet linear motors, a new long primary double-sided linear flux-switching permanent magnet (DSLFSPM) motor is proposed, investigated, and quantitatively compared with linear induction motors (LIM) for the electromagnetic launch system. First, the topology, operation principle, and electromagnetic performance of the DSLFSPM motor have been investigated. Then, in order to analyze the LIMs comprehensively, three LIMs have been designed based on the same overall dimensions and other key parameters. Finally, the electromagnetic performance of DSLFSPM motor and LIMs have been compared and summarized. The results show that the DSLFSPM motor has some merits such as higher efficiency, higher power factor, more robust mover, larger thrust force, and smaller force ripple than LIM motors. In order to validate the simulation results, a small-scale prototype of DSLFSPM motor has been built and measured.
