Abstract

This paper presents analytical design procedures of transverse flux linear motor (TFLM). With ratios of important design variables and simplified equivalent magnetic circuit, flux linkage is determined at load and no-load condition. The number of turns of windings can be calculated by considering the amplitude of applied voltage, and rated current, coil diameter, and winding area can be obtained with the help of empirical formula for determining required magnetomotive force (MMF). The usefulness of proposed design method for TFLM is verified by three-dimensional finite element analysis and experimental results of prototyped machine.
