This paper deals with 2D and 3D analyses by finite element method for the characteristics of reluctance type transverse flux linear motor. Although 3D analysis is essential because of the characteristics by flux direction. 2D analyses are also used by considering the effective axial length and using the equivalent reluctance 2D model. The thrust, the normal force and the coenergy of the machine are calculated and compared by the results of the three analysis methods.

A transverse flux linear induction motor is studied to assess the feasibility of its application in urban transportation and conveyor and so on. To analyze the TFLIM with E-type, the flux density, thrust and normal force is computed by using an analytical method and 2-D finite element method. TFLIM which the rated thrust is 50[N] is designed and experimented.

This paper proposes a tow-dimensional magnetic flux distribution analysis of the double-sided linear induction motor(DLIM). Both the longitudinal end-effect and the transverse edge-effect, which are due to the finite length and width of the primary stator, are considered. Also each force which is due to the variation of slip frequency was computed to show the fact that the thrust force of DLIM is dependent on both the longitudinal end-effect and the transverse edge-effect. To ascertain the propriety of this analysis, the simulated results of the magnetic flux density distribution in the airgap are compared to the experimental data.

This paper deals with a Double type Transverse Flux Linear Motor(TFLM) which can be applied to high power system. This type can reduce overall system volume because of the configuration which has double flux path of prototype per phase, and less number of phase and turns. This TFLM is based on permanent magnet excitation, and the pole shape is designed to reduce attraction force between stator and mover poles. In the paper, the basic configuration of double type and the principle of movement are introduced. After performing the characteristic analysis by 3-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network, the results are discussed.

Highly precise position control is essentially required in stead/transient state in liner motor. The overall performance of position control system is depend on the accuracy of the position information and the performance of the speed controller in low speed range. In this paper, When Load is changed that the simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed estimation and control scheme, and Dynamic characteristics of the designed Transverse Flux Linear Motor are simulated and estimated using Matlab/simlunk.

The design and analysis of electrical machines often require analytical models for performance assessment and system simulation. Inductances are important parameters of these models. In this paper, the methods of calculating apparent and incremental inductances are introduced for a transverse flux linear motor, which has a peculiar coil shape. The computation is accomplished by nonlinear three dimensional finite element method(FEM) and equivalent magnetic circuit network(EMCN). The improved method has been verified by a test result.

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.

In this paper, with loosely coupled transformer Relies-parallel resonant type DC/DC converter is analyzed and adopted to the power source of a TFLM(Transverse Flux Linear Motor). To get more efficient operating mode of the series-parallel resonant type DC/DC converter, theoretical analysis using normalized parameters are accepted. The analysis includes a specially made ferrite transformer with two separately wound half cores in order to evaluate analytically and experimentally the changes in magnetizing the leakage fluxes and inductances caused by the distance between the halves. The proposed converter must be operated in switching Pattern III among the three switching patterns for the Zero Voltage Switching operation. According to Pulse Frequency Modulation(PFM) control method, the output voltage of the proposed circuit can be controlled. The results of the theoretical development are compared with practical measurements from a prototype system.

Automatic transfer equipments of manufacturing and process line trend toward big size as LCD glass is big size, heavy weight. The conventional stocker uses rotational motor and mechanical power converter device as travel axis of stocker crane and then frequent maintenances by complex structure and mechanical friction are required.

This paper presents the error correction method of magnetic position sensor using recursive least square method (RLSM) with forgetting factor. Magnetic position sensor is proposed for linear position detection of the linear motor which has tooth shape stator, consists of permanent magnet, iron core and linear hall sensor, and generates sine and cosine waveforms according to the movement of the mover of the linear motor. From the output of magnetic position sensor, the position of the linear motor can be detected using arc-tan function. But the variation of the air gap between magnetic position sensor and the stator and the error in manufacturing process can cause the variation in offset, phase and amplitude of the generated waveforms when the linear motor moves. These variations in sine and cosine waveforms are changed according to the current linear motor position, and it is very difficult to compensate the errors using constant value. In this paper, the generated sine and cosine waveforms from the magnetic position sensor are compensated on-line using the RLSM with forgetting factor. And the speed observer is introduced to reduce the effect of uncompensated harmonic component. The approaches are verified by some simulations and experiments.
