Abstract

This paper presents optimum design of transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) to reduce the weight of the machine with the constraints of thrust and detent force. Employing penalty functions, each constraint is included in the characteristic function, and the response value is determined by three dimensional magnetic field analyses. Finally, the contribution and effect of the each design variable on the characteristic function is evaluated by the analysis of means (ANOM), and optimum design set is determined. With this procedure, the weight of initially designed TFLM can be reduced 10% with small variation of thrust and detent force
