  • Abstract
    This study deals with modelling and simulation of a linear switched reluctance force actuator with an original, simple and low-cost linear encoder. A fast and accurate way of determining linear switched reluctance motors-characteristics based on two-dimensional finite element analyses taking into account end-effects is presented and validated. The linear switched reluctance force actuator is simulated using `Matlab-Simulink´. The proposed actuator has been built and tested. Experimental measurements have confirmed the simulation results according to the proposed method.
