Based on similar single-phase flux-switching permanent magnet linear motor (FSPMLM), a comparable modular longitudinal FSPMLM (LFSPMLM) and transverse FSPMLM (TFSPMLM) are presented and investigated in this article. The modular LFSPMLM and TFSPMLM have no magnetic coupling among modules. Single-phase piecewise-linear inductance models of LFSPMLM and TFSPMLM are proposed, and corresponding comparative studies are conducted. Comparative calculation results show that an optimized design scheme is established, and a set of structural parameter is proposed. The results of finite element analysis (FEA) show that the LFSPMLM has higher efficiency than TFSPMLM. However, the TFSPMLM has a small detent force, and controlling its thrust force performance is feasible. Prototype experiments of no-load detent force and average thrust force are performed, and the experimental results agree with the FEA results. This finding further verifies the conclusions of comparative investigation on characteristics between the proposed LFSPMLM and TFSPMLM.

模块化纵横向磁通切换永磁直线电机的比较研究

本文基于类似的单相磁通开关永磁直线电机 (FSPMLM)，提出并研究了一种可比较的模块化纵向 FSPMLM (LFSPMLM) 和横向 FSPMLM (TFSPMLM)。模块化 LFSPMLM 和 TFSPMLM 模块之间没有磁耦合。提出了LFSPMLM和TFSPMLM的单相分段线性电感模型，并进行了相应的比较研究。对比计算结果表明，建立了优化设计方案，并提出了一套结构参数。有限元分析（FEA）结果表明，LFSPMLM 比 TFSPMLM 具有更高的效率。然而，TFSPMLM 的制动力较小，控制其推力性能是可行的。进行了空载制动力和平均推力的原型实验，实验结果与有限元分析结果一致。这一发现进一步验证了对所提出的 LFSPMLM 和 TFSPMLM 之间特征的比较研究的结论。
