description This paper presents a fast design optimization using an effective characteristic analysis for linear permanent magnet motors (LPMMs) with techniques for improving motor performance such as using an auxiliary tooth, permanent magnet (PM) skew, and overhang structures. These techniques have different effects on the characteristics of the LPMM depending on the combinations of each other, resulting in complexity in the design optimization process. In particular, the three-dimensional (3-D) effect of the PM skew and overhang structure takes a lot of time to be analyzed. To deal with this problem, an effective magnetic field analysis method and a novel optimization algorithm are proposed. Preferentially, the field reconstruction method is used for a fast and accurate evaluation of the magnetic field of the LPMM. In the proposed magnetic field analysis method, the change of magnetic field distribution due to the addition of an auxiliary tooth is predicted, and the 3-D magnetic field effect of PM skew and overhang structure is considered. By reducing the computational burden in the magnetic field analysis, the electromagnetic characteristics of LPMMs can be calculated quickly, such as detent force, end force, thrust force, and back-EMF. The effect of the auxiliary tooth and overhang structure on the optimal PM skew length is investigated with comparative study results. Subsequently, the proposed optimization algorithm has the advantage of reducing time cost by providing multimodal optimization and robustness evaluation of local peaks at the same time. The proposed method is verified via comparison with finite element analysis and experimental results.
