This paper presents size reduction of primary iron core for tubular linear induction motor by improved winding configuration. Using one-ampere conductor method, magnetic field analysis of tubular linear induction motor for size reduction is conducted. Size reduction and improvement of air gap flux distribution is achieved by improved winding configuration, and analysis results are verified by finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments.

In this paper, we propose the one-Ampere conductor method which is able to calculate the flux distribution conceptually and easily, and the improved winding method which suppresses space harmonics of magnetormotive force and enhances the coefficient of utilization of primary iron core in tubular linear induction motor. We carry out no-load test to verify effectiveness of proposed method and analyze characteristics by finite element method. As a result, performances are improved and propriety of primary iron core is enhanced comparing with conventional model.

In this paper, we propose a new type of tubular linear induction motor(TLIM) with two-dimensional motion. The proposed motor consists of four short primary LIMs arranged on a same circumference and a common secondary. By adopting independently energized ring-windings to the primary, we can expect the reduction of coil-end region and the freedom of alternating current supply. The secondary conductor is capable of producing anyone of rotary, linear, and helical motions by controlling the phase of supply currents in each primary winding. From the 3-D finite element analysis and the experiment, we derive the feeding conditions to increase the subsidiary rotary-force and an optimal arrangement of primary currents to reduce the number of slot.

This paper presents the flow characteristics in the fluid circulation loop using the tubular type linear induction motor(TLIM) electromagnetic pump. A TLIM pump was designed using the equivalent and genetic algorithm for the flow system of 40[1/min]. The flow characteristics are analyzed by coupling the Maxwell equations with the Navier-Stokes equation. The analysis algorithm also takes account of the effects of the thrust. The flow characteristics are analysed with the proposed method and compared with the commercial program and experiment and discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to analysis and develop theoretically the characteristics of tubular linear induction motor, which is a special industrial motor that generates directly thrust force from electrical power. The Poisson equation about vector potential which is created by the application of Maxwell electromagnetic equation with the speed considered, results in modified Bessel equation by the assumption that is applied to each region of the experimental motor. Vector potential, magnetic flux density, secondary current, and thrust force according to its region respectively were found out by substituting boundary condition for this equation and rearranging. Besides, a attendant materials, that is, thermal characteristic, which is one of the characteristics under the operation of experimental motor each part's magnetic flux distribution characteristics within active zone, the required time for reciprocating motion, and variation of power factor vs. a slip were found.

This paper presents a design of the electromagnetic pump with an tubular type linear induction motor(TLIM). The TLIM was designed for the fluid system, flow rate $15[{\ell}/min]$, and the thrust 39[N] at 0.29[m/s]. The TLIM is compared measurement with analysis. The electromagnetic pump of flow characteristics are calculated by treating TLIM thrust as a source term in the Navier-Stokes equation. The numerical analysis of flow characteristics of the liquid metal is presented for the various condition and discussed.
