Abstract

The paper presents the design and analysis of a longitudinal flux linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) for high precision position control applications. The inductance and force profiles of the LSRM are investigated using an analytical magnetic circuit analysis method and finite element method (FEM). Using FEM, the design of a LSRM is optimized for a semiconductor equipment application with high precision position control. Results from both simulation and experimental testing are also presented.
