This paper describes static characteristics analysis of linear pulse motor(LPM) with two permanent magnets. Linear pulse motors are finding a wide range of application for the Factory-Automation or the Office-Automation. Typically, LPM provides for a reliable and precise control of position, velocity, or acceleration without using a closed-loop system. Some of the advantages of LPMs are ease of control, step multiplication, static and dynamic positioning, and locking force. The flux density and thrust of LPM is computed by the FEM and magnetic equivalent circuits which considered the magnetic nonlinear phenomena. The result of characteristics analysis are shown as the flux, the air gap reluctance and the thrust. The velocity and position characteristics as a function of unit step input is measured. To estimate the unit step response charecteristic of LPM, the simulation results by Matlab and the experimental results is compared.

In this paper, we describe the LPM structure with a two-phase, which is not used previously, and explain its operation principle. In order to predict the accurate performance of LPM reduction model, finite element model was derived and the back EMF of LPM reduction model was measured and compared. In order to investigate the thrust and normal force of the LPM reduction model, a driving circuit capable of applying two-phase pulse currents was constructed and the performance was predicted in conjunction with the finite element analysis model. Finally, the design considering actual LPM size was performed. Since the size of the reduction model is small, the field could be made of a permanent magnet. However, it is almost impossible to manufacture a permanent magnet to match the size and capacity of a real LPM for a vehicle, in terms of cost and writing. Therefore, the actual vehicle LPM was replaced by wound type that generates a magnetic field by applying current to the field winding, and the final model was derived using the reaction surface method.

Linear pulse motor(LPM) has been used in a wide range of application due to many advantages for the precision position and speed control system for the bidirectional linear motion. In this study, the hybrid, single-side type LPM was designed and examined for characteristics of position detection. Precision position detection signals could be sensed by synchrnous rectifier method from the LPM stator scale. Experimental results show that the position precisions are good enough to perform the LPM position control.

This paper describe the dynamic equation of Linear Pulse Motor(LPM)and the method of microstep drive and newly proposed control method for Linear Pulse Motor(LPM). A microstep drive is generally used for the high resolution positioning system. But high thrust distortion and imbalance in LPM make torque ripple that cause position error in microstep drive. In this paper the new control method is proposed and applied to hybrid LPM which is made by KERI. In the experimental results. it is shown the validity of the proposed control scheme.

LPM(Linear Pulse Motor) provide direct and precise position control of bidirectional linear motion. LPM is not subject to the same linear velocity and acceleration limitations inherent in systems converting rotary to linear motion such as lead screws, rack and pinion, belt and pulley drives. With LPM, all the thrust force generated by the motor is efficiently applied directly to the load. And speed, distance, and acceleration are easily programmed in a highly repeatable fashion. Potential industrial and application fields of LPM include PCB assembly, industrial sewing machines, automatic inspection, coil winder, medical uses, conveyer system, laser cut and trim systems, semiconductor wafer processing, OA instruments etc. This paper describes various design parameter of LPM such as magnetic ciucuit construction methods, phase number and tooth number per pole, permanent magnet and coil mmf, tooth geometries. And to solve the problems of existing control methods, in this paper, a new control method of the LPM is proposed throughout modern control theory.

A Linear Pulse Motor (LPM) is a direct drive motor that has good performance in terms of accuracy, velocity and acceleration compared to the conventional rotating system with toothed belts and ball screws. However, since an LPM needs supporting devices which maintain constant air-gap and has strong nonlinearity caused by leakage magnetic flux, friction and cogging, etc., there are many difficulties in improvement on accuracy with conventional control theory. Moreover, when designing the position controller of LPM, the modeling error and load variations has not been considered. In order to compensate these components, the neural network with conventional feedback controller is introduced. This neural network of feedback error learning type changes the current commands to improve position accuracy. As a result of experiments, we observes that more accurate position control is possible compared to conventional controller.

To find the optimal design parameter on the hybrid LPM for the embroidery machine. For the field analysis, the finite element method(FEM) is employed for calculating the force. The reluctance models will be used the magnetic permeance of airgap under static-conditions. The forces between forcer and platen have been calculated using the virtual work mathod.

This paper presents the selection method o( the input current wave forms for the thrust force ripple of linear pulse motor (LPM). We have developed and tested a prototype 2-phase 4-poles LPM with the permanent magnet and its control driver. To obtain the thrust performance curve of LPM, the performance curve at the air gap and the thrust are calculated and estimated by the analytical method on the base of the magnetic equivalent circuit and the finite element method. And, the thrust characteristics at the static operation state are analyzed and experimented with the respect to the input wave forms such as the rectangular, the triangular micro-step and the sine micro-step wave forms to investigate the thrust ripple and the vibration effects of LPM.
