Detent force suppression of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor based on a V‐shaped tooth‐slot structure

Abstract Given the existence of detent force, the positioning accuracy of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) with an iron core worsens in its application in the field of the precision drive. To address this problem, a method is proposed to weaken the detent force of PMLSM with a V‐sha...

description Abstract Given the existence of detent force, the positioning accuracy of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) with an iron core worsens in its application in the field of the precision drive. To address this problem, a method is proposed to weaken the detent force of PMLSM with a V‐shaped tooth‐slot structure. The models of the detent force, including the cogging force and end force, are established theoretically. The analytical expressions of cogging force and end force are obtained by analysing the ripple rule of the motor. Then, the tooth‐slot surface of the motor with the V‐shaped tooth‐slot structure conducts infinitesimal processing. The relationship between cogging force, end force, and the V‐shaped depth of the V‐shaped tooth‐slot PMLSM is deduced, respectively, using the integration method. Furthermore, Ansoft finite element simulation software Maxwell module is used to compare the conventional PMLSM, V‐shaped magnetic pole PMLSM, and V‐shaped tooth‐slot PMLSM. The comparison reveals that the V‐shaped tooth‐slot structure has the excellent characteristic of increasing the average value of thrust while reducing the ripple of thrust caused by detent force. Finally, prototype fabrication and experiments are conducted to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method.
