Abstract

In this study, the electromagnetic characteristic of a flat-type two-dimensional proportional solenoid were analyzed by the magnetic reluctance method. The magnetic equivalent circuit equation for the solenoid was derived by modeling the reluctance of air gaps and magnetic structural components such as pole core, armature and yoke. It was solved iteratively because of the nonlinear magnetization properties of iron parts. The solutions showed good agreement with experimental data. Based on the magnetic equivalent circuit equation, the influence of design parameters on force-to-armature displacement curves was mathematically derived and experimentally verified. In this way, dominant design parameters could be analytically determined.
