Electromagnetic design and temperature field analysis of hybrid excitation primary permanent magnet linear motor

Hybrid excitation primary permanent magnet linear motor has the dual advantages of high thrust density of primary permanent magnet linear motor and the flexibility on adjusting the air gap magnetic field of hybrid excitation motor. In this paper, two new 36/4 hybrid excitation primary permanent magnet linear motors with different secondary structures are proposed. Based on the detailed introduction of the motor topology and operation mechanism, the structural parameters are optimized, and the pole arc coefficient of the primary pole shoe and the secondary are finally determined to be 0.4. The secondary is magnetoresistive, and the final thrust adjustment range is about 16.8% under the conditions of optimal armature current and current lead angle. The temperature field of the motor in the magnetizing state is analyzed. The results show that the temperature of the motor decreases gradually from the center to both sides after 7200 s of operation of the new hybrid excitation structure, while the permanent magnet will not be demagnetized permanently. It shows an acceptable reliability.
