Abstract

This paper presents the development of a transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) with permanent-magnet excitation for Stocker system, which is used for transferring glasses in the liquid crystal display industry. Magnetic field is analyzed by three-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network method and two-dimensional finite-element analysis is used to determine the influence of the end effect of a mover on the performance of TFLM. The experimental results of a prototyped motor are in good agreement with the analysis ones.
