Description
Summary:In this paper, a new dual stator linear permanent-magnet (PM) vernier (LPMV) machine with toroidal winding is proposed and analyzed. The proposed machine enjoys the advantages of less copper usage and copper loss without sacrificing the thrust force performance. For a fair comparison, the proposed machine is designed with the same geometrical parameters based on the conventional dual stator LPMV machine with concentrated winding. Finally, the electromagnetic performances of the proposed machine and the conventional one are compared and analyzed by using finite element method, verifying that the proposed machine with the low copper loss can obtain high force density.
