The proposed paper presents an integrated linear actuator which combines Transverse Flux Linear Motor(TFLM) for Household elelctric applications. They both use the same primary magnetic circuit, but they have different secondary movers. The paper presents a new design of linear motor for a new electromagnetic linear actuator, an tintegrated TFLM. The calculated tthrust force is good agreement with experiments. We have studied a transient response of a linear actuator with a damping ratio, spring constant and specially a pressed power patterns for a constant stroke control.

On this study, we optimized maximizing the thrust force at the TFLM(Transverse Flux Linear Motor) using design of experiments by the table of orthogonal array and the analysis of means(ANOM), and classified the most contributive design factor maximizing the thrust force at the TFLM by analysis of variance(ANOVA). From now on, we are going to apply the required technique to design various uses and shapes of the TFLM.

The servo motor is used for the driving power source of the conventional linear conveyor system. The mechanical power transfer system is needed for converting the circular to the linear operation. But this system causes some problems of position error, the necessity of the periodical maintenance. In this paper the study on application of transverse flux linear motor(TFLM) is carried out for the indexer system of LCD processing because TFLM has much thrust per a volume than the conventional motor. TFLM is suitable system for the indexer system because of capacity of acceleration, maximum speed and precision of the position, etc.

This paper presents design procedures of a transverse flux linear motor (TFLM). The minimum and maximum flux linkage was determined by the simplified equivalent magnetic circuit and estimated average magnetic flux density at the air gap region by considering the shape of applied magnetomotive force (MMF). With this information, the number of turns of each phase winding was calculated based on the amplitude of applied voltage and speed of a mover. The rated current, coil diameter, and winding area were obtained with the aid of an empirical formula for determining the required MMF. The usefulness of the proposed design method for TFLM is verified by the three-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method and the experimental results of prototyped machine.

In this paper, a low cost magnetic position sensor for linear position detection is proposed. The proposed magnetic sensor can be applied to the linear motor which has stator with periodical teeth, such as transverse flux linear motor(TFLM). Sine and cosine waves can be generated from the unit sensor module as the linear motor moves, and the outputs can be converted to the position data by interpolation IC. To reduce the speed ripple caused by the position error, the Luenberg observer is introduced. The validity of the proposed magnetic position sensor is verified by experiment with a 750N three-phase TFLM.

Thrust force of linear motor is one of the important factor to specify motor performance. In this study, we optimized maximizing the thrust force of TFLM(Transverse Flux Linear Motor) using Response Surface Methodology by the table of orthogonal way. The Response Surface Methodology was well adapted to make the analytical model of the maximum thrust force and enable the objective function to be easily created and a great deal of the time In computation to be saved. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using the Response Surface Methodology can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of electric machine.

This paper presents a characteristic analysis method of a permanent magnet type transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) with spiral cores. The spiral cores are used as the mover cores in order to make 3-dimensional (3-D) magnetic flux paths at the TFLM which have 3-D magnetic flux flows. The 3-D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method is used to analyse the magnetic characteristics of the machine, and an imaginary part, 'flux barrier,' is introduced to consider the spiral core characteristic. Magnetic parameters such as flux, inductance, and thrust are calculated from the analysis results. The computed thrust forces are compared to measured values to confirm the accuracy of the analysis.

Permanent magnet-excited transverse flux linear motor(TFLM) is known to have more excellent ratio of force to weight than any other linear motors. But, thrust generated by phase current is non-linear with regard to current and relative position like switched reluctance motor. This makes current and speed controller design difficult. This paper presents a method on minimization of thrust ripple of permanent magnet-excited transverse flux linear motor. Using genetic algorithm(GA), optimal current waveform can be found under the constraint conditions such as current limit, minimum of ohmic loss and limited rate of change of current etc. The effectiveness is verified through computer simulation and experimental test results.

This paper has realized a control system of a vibrator using PM excited Transverse Flux Linear Motor(TFLM). Proposed vibrator can supply a vibration force up to 700[N] at rated current, wide operation range of vibration displacement and high frequency for a tested structure. Also, volume of a vibrator system can be decreased because of a high trust force rato(a thrust force per weight=N/Kg). A proposed vibrator instead of a hydraulic vibrator can improve efficiency and have may advantages of maintenance and management. A desired value command is a vibration frequency and displacement in a controller for a vibrator system and a controlled values we a instant position and velocity of a mover Output value of the controller is phase current controlled by PWM converter. In this research, Dynamic simulation has been executed for analysis of a control algorithm and dvnauuc characteristics and is compared with experimental result.
