Electromagnetic Linear Machines with Dual Halbach Array

This book extends the conventional two-dimensional (2D) magnet arrangement into 3D pattern for permanent magnet linear machines for the first time, and proposes a novel dual Halbach array. It can not only effectively increase the radial component of magnetic flux density and output force of tubular linear machines, but also significantly reduce the axial flux density, radial force and thus system vibrations and noises. The book is also the first to address the fundamentals and provide a summary of conventional arrays, as well as novel concepts for PM pole design in electric linear machines. It covers theoretical study, numerical simulation, design optimization and experimental works systematically. The design concept and analytical approaches can be implemented to other linear and rotary machines with similar structures. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students in electronic engineering and mechanical engineering who wish to learn the core principles, methods, and applications of linear and rotary machines.

Systematically investigates the permanent magnet arrays of electromagnetic linear machines, which not only improve the force output greatly, but also significantly reduce vibration and noise in linear machines Proposes a novel analytical modeling method for predicting the armature reaction field of coreless permanent magnet tubular linear machines with a dual Halbach array Explores the design optimization of permanent magnet arrays and winding patterns to increase the magnetic flux density, and thus to improve the force output of electromagnetic tubular linear machines Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
