description This paper concerns mathematical modelling of dynamic performances to a new permanent magnet electromagnetic valve actuator (PMEVA). Both static and transient characteristics were simulated by using the finite element method (FEM) and field-circuit approach. The magnetic force values versus the excitation current and the position of the valve actuator movable part have been determined. Our concept of the mover positioning relative to the radial magnets is quite novel. PMEVA parameters are satisfied for implementation in combustion engines. Transients in the device have also been analyzed for no-load and for the nominal burden of the actuator. The indications of the position sensors and the excitation current waves were simulated and measured for the step voltage supply. The calculation results were verified experimentally, and a good conformity has been observed. The advantages of our actuator are simple construction, short time of the switching, the current supplying being needed only at the runner extreme positions, and simple controlling. Additionally, PMEVA design can be extended to support the simultaneous operation of four valves.
