“…In [5,6], an analysis and magnetic circuit model of the LVR motor are discussed. As for control system development of the LVR motor, optimal excitation current control, force control and position control implemented on simulation software are presented in [7][8][9]. Note that recent research on linear switched reluctance motors, such as [10][11][12], focus on a different type of linear motors with no magnetically coupled geometry where each phase of such motor may be controlled independently with higher degree of freedom.…”

The objective of this paper is to design and implement a direct-drive position control based on a simplified sinusoidal flux model for a linear variable reluctance motor. The motor under consideration is a three-phase linear reluctance motor with strong magnetic coupling between phases that has the advantages of simple structure, compactness and low cost with no permanent magnet. The experimental results show overall good performance indicating that the developed system can be considered as a strong candidate for high precision manufacturing automation applications.
