Abstract

Linear motion is rather common in the industry, and linear electric motors (LEMs) can provide it directly (without a mechanical transmission) through electromagnetic field forces. LEMs may be considered counterparts of rotary electric machines, but specific topologies lead to characteristics that differ (in some cases notably) from those of the latter. This paper attempts an overview on recent progress of LEMs, from innovative topologies to advanced modeling, design, and control, with case studies and examples related to specific industrial applications from people movers to small compressors solenoids, speakers, and microphones.
