Abstract
Conventional manual transmissions suffer from deterioration due to wear and reduced responsiveness. Therefore, a linear electromagnetic actuator (LEA) for gear shifting has been developed. Since the LEA is a direct drive, it prevents deterioration due to wear and has high responsiveness. In addition, this LEA has a high holding force by detent force at three points. In this paper, sensorless position estimation is performed to simplify the system. Since one coil is not energized during driving in this LEA, so the back-EMF of the unenergized phase can be measured. We propose a sensorless position estimation method that focuses on the variation of the magnetic flux linkage characteristics in the position change. The simulation results show that the sensorless position control is possible.
