The effect of manufacturing tolerances on a tubular linear ferrite motor

2015

This study presents a numerical and experimental study on the effect of permanent magnet tolerances on the performances of a Tubular Linear Ferrite Motor. The statistical distribution of the magnetic characteristic of a set of commercial magnets is obtained experimentally while the performances of a the tubular motor are numerically evaluated. The performances that have been considered are: cogging force, end effect force and generated thrust. It has been shown that: 1)the statistical variability of the magnets modifies the time behavior of the cogging force; 2)the value of both the end effect cogging force and the generated thrust are directly linked to the values of then remanence field o…
