Designing and modeling a linear electric motor for vibration-technology machines

One industrial application of linear motors is as working-body drives of vibration-technology machines. Such drives allow manufacturing of equipment with very low energy consumption and material costs. This paper presents the results of research on substantiation of the prospects of application of linear electric motors as drive vibration-technology machines. The results of designing a linear dc motor are presented. This paper describes the design of the electric motor and its operation in the hold-down and vibrating modes. The main technical characteristics of the motor are given. Simulation of the electric-motor electromagnetic field based on symmetrical setting of the task for the Poisson equation was performed with a view to specifying and verifying the preliminary calculation data. The results of the calculations and simulations show that it is possible to create low-cost, manufacturable, and reliable electrical motors for a linear vibratory actuator.
