However, the conventional linear permanent magnet synchronous motor(LPMSM) suffers from thrust ripple, which degrades the motor performance. The thrust ripple in LFSPMs is mainly caused by detent force and asymmetric electromagnetic parameters, excluding external disturbances. Moreover, the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM exhibits unique inductance characteristics, which lead to different effects on thrust ripple. First, the detent force in the LFSPM is analyzed through finite element method(FEM). In addition, new finite element(FE) models are proposed for further analysis of the cogging force in LFSPMs. Second, the unique inductance characteristics of the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM are investigated, and then the thrust ripple caused by asymmetric electromagnetic parameters is calculated by the virtual displacement method. Third, the mathematical model considering the thrust ripple is established for the LFSPM, which provides a foundation for subsequent research on thrust ripple suppression control strategies. Finally, the thrust ripple analysis is validated by comparing FEM results, modeling simulations, and experimental data.展开更多

The accurate coupled mathematical models under different internal fault conditions of the LSM are derived based on the normal model. Then the fault currents and electromagnetic forces are simulated and calculated for the major potential internal faults of the LSM, such as the single-phase short circuit, the phase-phase short circuit and the single-phase open circuit. The characteristic curve between the electromagnetic force and the armature current of the LSM, which is compared with the results from the finite element method, proves the validation of the proposed method. The fault rule is determined and the proposed analytical model also shows its feasibility in the fast fault diagnosis through the comparison of the simulation results of currents and electromagnetic forces under different internal fault types and short circuit ratios.展开更多

The vibration suppressing results are not good enough in the existing research because only the longitudinal direction vibration is considered while the normal direction vibration is neglected. The parameters of the direct-axis current controller are set to be the same as those of the quadrature-axis current controller commonly. This causes contradiction between signal noise and response. To suppress the vibration, the electromagnetic force model of the flat permanent magnet synchronous linear motor is formulated first. Through the analysis of the effect that direct-axis current noise and quadrature-axis current noise have on both direction vibration, it can be declared that the conclusion that longitudinal direction vibration is only related to the quadrature-axis current noise while the normal direction vibration is related to both the quadrature-axis current noise and direct-axis current noise. Then, the simulation test on current loop with a low-pass filter is conducted and the results show that the low-pass filter can not suppress the vibration but makes the vibration more severe. So a vibration suppressing strategy that the proportional gain of direct-axis current controller adapted according to quadrature-axis reference current is proposed. This control strategy can suppress motor vibration by suppressing direct-axis current noise. The experiments results about the effect of Kp and Ti on normal direction vibration, longitudinal vibration and the position step response show that this strategy suppresses vibration effectively while the motor＇s motion performance is not affected. The maximum reduction of vibration can be up to 40%. In addition, current test under rated load condition is also conducted and the results show that the control strategy can avoid the conflict between the direct-axis current and the quadrature-axis current under typical load. Adaptive PI control strategy can effectively suppress the flat permanent magnet linear synchronous motor＇s vibration without affecting the motor＇s performance.展开更多

The proposed model starts from the assumption that the vibration characteristics of the stator is not affected by the contact process. A modified friction models was used to analyze the contact problems. Firstly, the dynamic normal contact force, interface friction force, and steady-state characteristics were analyzed. Secondly, the influences of the contact layer material, the dynamic characteristics of the stator, and the pre-load on motor performance were simulated. Finally, to validate the contact model, a linear ultrasonic motor based on in-plane modes was used as an example. The corresponding results show that a set of simulation of motor performances based on the proposed contact mechanism is in good agreement with experimental results. This model is helpful to understanding the operation principle of the standing wave linear motor and thus contributes to the design of these types of motor.展开更多

I...Various force disturbances influence the thrust force of linear motors when a linear motor （LM） is running. Among all of force disturbances, the force ripple is the dominant while a linear motor runs in low speed. In order to suppress the force ripple, back propagation（BP） neural network is proposed to learn the function of the force ripple of linear motors, and the acquisition method of training samples is proposed based on a disturbance observer. An off-line BP neural network is used mainly because of its high running efficiency and the real-time requirement of the servo control system of a linear motor. By using the function, the force ripple is on-line compensated according to the position of the LM. The experimental results show that the force ripple is effectively suppressed by the compensation of the BP neural network.展开更多

To enhance the thrust performance, quasi-Halbach permanent magnet（PM） arrays are arranged on its mover in the application of a linear electro-hydrostatic actuator in more electric aircraft. The arrays are assembled by several individual segments, which lead to gaps between them inevitably. To investigate the effects of the gaps on the radial magnetic flux density and the machine thrust in this paper, an analytical model is built considering both axial and radial gaps. The model is validated by finite element simulations and experimental results.Distributions of the magnetic flux are described in condition of different sizes of radial and axial gaps. Besides, the output force is also discussed in normal and end windings. Finally, the model has demonstrated that both kinds of gaps have a negative effect on the thrust, and the linear motor is more sensitive to radial ones.展开更多

The PLSLM is supported by air-bearing on the stator, and is driven by on-board two large linear motors in a cross-configuration. Firstly, a model of the PLSLM is established by finite element method （FEM）. Secondly, based on the model, the natural frequencies and model shapes are discusse＆ And the contribution of each active mode is evaluated by computing the modal participation factors （MPF）, which indicates the major vibration direction. Furthermore, by the experimental modal analysis, the experimental results are in agreement with simulation results, which it is sure that the FEM is reasonable. What＇s more, comparing with the effects on the frequency due to the air-bearing stiffness, the relations of the natural frequencies with the air-bearing stiffness are found. It is found that the frequency response curve is fluctuant with the air-bearing stiffness in each direction. Finally, it is conclusion that the natural frequency of the PLSLM is largely affected by the air-bearing stiffness variety. This research is contributed to the dynamic characteristics resulted from the air-beating stiffness. Further work will include better optimization on the dynamic parameter in the controller design through the control algorithm for the precise long stroke motor.展开更多

文摘A contact model for describing the contact mechanics between the stator and slider of the standing wave linear ultrasonic motor was presented. The proposed model starts from the assumption that the vibration characteristics of the stator is not affected by the contact process. A modified friction models was used to analyze the contact problems. Firstly, the dynamic normal contact force, interface friction force, and steady-state characteristics were analyzed. Secondly, the influences of the contact layer material, the dynamic characteristics of the stator, and the pre-load on motor performance were simulated. Finally, to validate the contact model, a linear ultrasonic motor based on in-plane modes was used as an example. The corresponding results show that a set of simulation of motor performances based on the proposed contact mechanism is in good agreement with experimental results. This model is helpful to understanding the operation principle of the standing wave linear motor and thus contributes to the design of these types of motor.

文摘Various force disturbances influence the thrust force of linear motors when a linear motor （LM） is running. Among all of force disturbances, the force ripple is the dominant while a linear motor runs in low speed. In order to suppress the force ripple, back propagation（BP） neural network is proposed to learn the function of the force ripple of linear motors, and the acquisition method of training samples is proposed based on a disturbance observer. An off-line BP neural network is used mainly because of its high running efficiency and the real-time requirement of the servo control system of a linear motor. By using the function, the force ripple is on-line compensated according to the position of the LM. The experimental results show that the force ripple is effectively suppressed by the compensation of the BP neural network.

文摘A tubular moving-magnet linear oscillating motor（TMMLOM） has merits of high efficiency and excellent dynamic capability. To enhance the thrust performance, quasi-Halbach permanent magnet（PM） arrays are arranged on its mover in the application of a linear electro-hydrostatic actuator in more electric aircraft. The arrays are assembled by several individual segments, which lead to gaps between them inevitably. To investigate the effects of the gaps on the radial magnetic flux density and the machine thrust in this paper, an analytical model is built considering both axial and radial gaps. The model is validated by finite element simulations and experimental results.Distributions of the magnetic flux are described in condition of different sizes of radial and axial gaps. Besides, the output force is also discussed in normal and end windings. Finally, the model has demonstrated that both kinds of gaps have a negative effect on the thrust, and the linear motor is more sensitive to radial ones.

文摘Dynamic characteristic is presented by identifying the model and the dynamic parameters of a precise long stroke linear motor （PLSLM） with the air-bearing in optical lithography. The PLSLM is supported by air-bearing on the stator, and is driven by on-board two large linear motors in a cross-configuration. Firstly, a model of the PLSLM is established by finite element method （FEM）. Secondly, based on the model, the natural frequencies and model shapes are discusse＆ And the contribution of each active mode is evaluated by computing the modal participation factors （MPF）, which indicates the major vibration direction. Furthermore, by the experimental modal analysis, the experimental results are in agreement with simulation results, which it is sure that the FEM is reasonable. What＇s more, comparing with the effects on the frequency due to the air-bearing stiffness, the relations of the natural frequencies with the air-bearing stiffness are found. It is found that the frequency response curve is fluctuant with the air-bearing stiffness in each direction. Finally, it is conclusion that the natural frequency of the PLSLM is largely affected by the air-bearing stiffness variety. This research is contributed to the dynamic characteristics resulted from the air-beating stiffness. Further work will include better optimization on the dynamic parameter in the controller design through the control algorithm for the precise long stroke motor.

文摘A new method for optimizing a butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor was proposed to maximize its mechanical output. The finite element analysis technology and response surface methodology were combined together to realize the optimal design of the butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor. First, the operation principle of the motor was introduced. Second, the finite element parameterized model of the stator of the motor was built using ANSYS parametric design language and some structure parameters of the stator were selected as design variables. Third, the sample points were selected in design variable space using latin hypercube Design. Through modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of the stator based on these sample points, the target responses were obtained. These sample points and response values were combined together to build a response surface model. Finally, the simplex method was used to find the optimal solution. The experimental results showed that many aspects of the design requirements of the butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor have been fulfilled. The prototype motor fabricated based on the optimal design result exhibited considerably high dynamic performance, such as no-load speed of 873 ram/s, maximal thrust of 27.5 N, maximal efficiency of 43%, and thrust-weight ratio of 45.8.

文摘More and more linear servo systems have been used in servo applications. Direct drive technology can greatly increase the bandwidth and the tracking accuracy. A position servo-system based on linear voice-coil motor was designed for one linear oscillation movement application. Besides the conventional position, speed and current control loops, the speed and acceleration feed-forward control of command position signal were also used. The experimental test proved the correctness of the design, and the system can track the given periodic sinusoid position command signal of 15Hz with high accuracy. The linear voice-coil motor is very suitable for short stroke position tracking application with high dynamic response.
