Slot/Pole Number Combination Research of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Linear Motors for Flexible Conveyor Systems

In this paper, the slot/pole number combination of permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs) for flexible conveyor systems (FCS) are selected and analyzed for optimization, and each slot/pole number combination of PMLSMs consists of two types of structures: single-sided type and double-sided type. Firstly, finite element method (FEM) model is established to compare the performance of five types of slot/pole number combinations of PMLSMs, and the best slot/pole number combinations suitable for FCS are selected.
