Linear Synchronous Motor Model

摘要

Liner synchronous motor (LSM) is perspective motor for milling machines and other manufacturing equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutting and engraving machines, etc. Some different construction of LSM can be found. The LSM with permanent magnets is modeled in this paper. Comsol Multiphysics is used for finite element model of LSM. Motor stator is built using rear earth magnets N52, an anchor consists of 6 teeth with 3-phase winding. Large cogging force is the problem of LSM, so there is task to reduce this force. This task can be solved by motor geometry optimization. Geometric parameter of motor is represented by variables. It allowed using optimization methods for best geometry search. FEM model with two different mesh sizes is analysed in this paper. Each mesh allows find solution but calculation time and tolerance are different. During experiments, optimal size of tooth for maximal driving force is found. Cogging force is also reduced.
