Transverse flux machine (TFM) has been proved to be very suitable for high-torque, low-speed, and direct-drive situation in industry. But the complex structures and costly permanent magnets (PMs) are two key limitations of its wide range of applications. This paper proposes a new claw pole TFM (ACPTFM) which features an assembled claw pole stator and using the lamination steels material to overcome the complex structures. By combining response surface methodology (RSM) with design of experiment, an optimum design method is put forward to improve the PM's contribution to the torque in order to save the PM's amount. The optimum design results demonstrate the validity of the proposed optimum design method and the optimized model. Eventually, the finite-element analysis (FEA) calculation method, which is used in the optimization process, is verified by the experiments in a prototype.

The objective of this paper is to provide a comparison between two transverse flux rotary machines (TFRM) with different topologies of stator cores. Depending on how to make stator core with laminated steel sheets, the one topology is 'perpendicular stacking core' and the other is 'separated core'. Both of the two cores have been designed considering 3-dimensional (3-D) magnetic flux path with the same output power conditions, but the core losses are quite different and it causes different magnetic and thermal characteristics. For comparison of these two topologies of stator cores, therefore, core losses have been calculated and used as a heat source in no-load conditions, and the thermal stress has been also calculated. 3-D finite element method has been used for the magnetic field, thermal, and stress analysis to consider the 3-D flux path of the TFRM. After comparing the analysis results of the two topologies, experimental results are also presented and discussed.

This paper presents the results of study of linear oscillating electric machine; Cartesian, cylindrical type with permanent magnet, flux reversal, cylindrical reluctance, and transverse flux type. The focus of the work is the suggestion of the characteristics and design process of propose topology, respectively. First of all, there are five types of the proposed to this study on the basis of the existing literatures; Cartesian type, cylindrical type, flux reversal type, cylindrical reluctance type, and transverse flux type. All topology is achieved using equivalent magnetic circuit considering leakage elements as initial modeling. Cartesian type is investigated by number of phases and number of pole pairs using optimal process. A cylindrical type is described by number of phases and displacement of stroke. The flux reversal type is proposed based on the symmetrical and non symmetrical stator cores of the surface mounted PMs mover, and non slanted PMs and slanted PMs of the flux concentrating PMs mover. A cylindrical reluctance type is studied by the shape of mover teeth in geometric aspect to reduce force ripple and increase magnetic flux. A transverse flux type is considered by dividing the transverse flux electric excited and the transverse flux permanent magnet excited. It is significant that the study gives a design rules and features of linear oscillating electric machine.

This paper deals with a Double-type Transverse Flux Linear Motor which can be applied to high power system. This type can reduce overall system volume because it has a double flux path, and less number of phases and turns comparing with prototype for one phase. This machine 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 is introduced first, and the principle of movement is explained. After performing the characteristic analysis by 3-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network, the results are discussed.

This paper proposes a coordinated control for an independent multi-phase transverse flux linear synchronous motor (IM-TFLSM) based on magnetic levitation. The stator structures of the IM-TFLSM are composed of a two set, which has independent three-phase windings and a double-sided air-gap as opposed to the conventional Y-connected three-phase linear motors. A suitable control algorithm is necessary to operate the applied linear machine. This study proposes a coordinated control algorithm for adjusting the mover air-gap and thrust force of the IM-TFLSM in order to maintain air-gap and phase shifted current control of the independent 3-phase modules. In addition, the principle of operation and its special structures are described in detail and the validity and effectiveness of the control algorithm is verified through multiple experimental results.

This paper describes the development of a novel transverse flux linear motor (TFLM) excited by permanent magnets (PMs). It combines the advantage of two different TFLMs and produces high thrust with reduced normal force. The magnetic field is analyzed by combining the three-dimensional (3D) equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method with 2D finite element analysis. The experimental findings of the prototype motors are in good agreements with the analysis results, and demonstrate the potential of the proposed motor as a direct drive requiring relatively long displacement of a mover.

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 an eddy current loss analysis for a transverse flux rotary machine (TFRM) with laminated stator cores, which consist of inner and outer cores whose laminated directions are perpendicular to each other. Although the TFRM is laminated to reduce eddy current losses, it still exhibits rapidly increasing core losses as the frequency increases. To solve this problem, slits are introduced to the stator outer core. 3-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) based on the T-${\Omega}$ formulation is used to solve the eddy-current problem for a various numbers of slits in the nonlinear lamination core. The effects of the slits are confirmed using experiment data and 3D FEA results.

Inductance can be defined as several kinds of slops on the B-H curve, and at is classified into apparent, effective, incremental inductances, etc. In many research cases, its calculation and measurement are partially dealt. However it is hard to find the clear explanation of the inductance in the voltage equation of PM machines, and even its relationship with those classified inductances in the view point of design and characteristics analysis. Moreover some previous definition of inductance can not be used for the inductance of coils in PM machines. Therefore, in this paper the inductance is redefined for voltage equation of PM machines, and the methods of calculation by using finite element analysis method and measurement are explained.
