| Summary: | In the past, linear motors were used in transportation systems. Currently, linear motors replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. Using linear motors the performances increase considerably since the mechanical limitations are removed. This leads to better precision, higher acceleration and higher speed of the moving part. Linear Oscillatory Actuator (LOA) one of the linear motor applications can be applied in various applications such as shaker machines and rapid motion machines. Two techniques used to calculate the thrust of LOA are Finite Elements Method (FEM) and Permeance Analysis Method (PAM). In this paper, the thrust of LOA was calculated using PAM. The result from PAM was compared with FEM and further verified experimentally. |
