Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of a linear actuator
for high acceleration applications. In the analysis, four different
topologies of a slotless tubular permanent magnet actuator
(TPMA) are investigated. A unified semi-analytical solution for
the magnetic field equations of the four topologies is derived
in a two-dimensional axisymmetric coordinate system. Using
these semi-analytical field equations, a time efficient analysis is
performed on the magnetic field in the actuator. Two topologies
showed to be favorable for high acceleration applications, one
prototype is being built to validate the model.
