Abstract
Conference Title: INTERMAG 2015 - IEEE International Magnetics Conference Conference Start Date: 2015, May 11 Conference End Date: 2015, May 15 Conference Location: Beijing, China Linear motors are suitable for direct-drive applications in industry. To improve the performance of pure linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs), permanent magnets (PMs) are introduced to the magnetic circuits [1-3]. Loss of the PM-type linear motors are discussed [2]. Two possible ways of cogging force reduction are investigated [3]. Analytical prediction and measurement for quantifying iron loss in a tubular PM machine are described in [4].
