Abstract :
This paper presents a novel two-dimensional (2-D) planar switched reluctance motor (PSRM) for position control applications. The proposed 2-D planar motor has the advantages of simple mechanical construction, high reliability, and the ability to withstand hostile operating conditions. Due to the unique structure of the planar motor´s magnetic circuit, there is very little coupling between the X- and Z-axis, and no decoupling compensation is needed. It is expected that this innovative SR planar motion system will be an ideal replacement for traditional X-Y tables in industrial automation applications
