14 Multi-Pole Coil Three-or Two-Phase Linear PM Reluctance Motors
Linear electric motors discussed in previous chapters relied on primary coils that span a little more or less than a pole pitch. By pole pitch, we mean the half period of PM flux as the common attribute of many “novel typologies” with dedicated names.
In this chapter, we treat a variety of three- or two-phase linear PM motors that contain multi-pole nonoverlapping coils and are characterized by the following:
Smaller copper weight per Newton of thrust and thus smaller copper losses; flat configurations are preferred, but tubular ones may be imagined also.
Due to separate electric and magnetic circuit design, more armature mmf at small pole pitches (needed at low speeds) could ...
