Abstract

A comparative study of force to weight ratios between single-sided and tubular linear synchronous machine topologies is presented. The single-sided linear synchronous machine has already been built and tested, and physical test results compare favourably with finite element analysis. On this basis, the tubular linear synchronous machine has been designed purely through finite element analysis, and then compared to the single-sided topologies.
