Abstract
In advanced manufacture industry, the planar motors have been developed as an attractive candidate to two-dimensional (2-D) positioning devices, since they have advantages of direct drive, low friction, and no backlash compared to the conventional 2-D positioning devices. Several types of the planar motors have been proposed, which are the induction planar motors, the synchronous permanent-magnet planar motors, the variable reluctance planar motors, and the DC planar motors [1]-[5]. Among them, planar switched reluctance motors (PSRMs) show merits of high precision, low cost, low heat loss, and simple structure, therefore PSRMs are promising planar motors in 2-D positioning devices. PSRMs have been firstly proposed by J. F. Pan and N. C. Cheung, et al. [4], [5], several position controllers have been designed for PSRMs [6]-[8], the core loss of a PSRM has been analyzed [9], and an optimized design of a PSRM has been performed to minimize electromagnetic force ripple [10]. However, a systematic design method for PSRMs has not been proposed so far. For PSRMs, the systematic method provides theoretical foundation for selection of machine dimensions and considerable reference to the design and optimization.
