Performance of a single-sided linear induction motor with solid back iron and with various misalignments, volume 1
Abstract
A test facility was designed and built to measure all aspects of the performance of the motor. The facility was equipped and instrumented to measure all the usual performance parameters plus all of the six axis forces in normal operation and, when displaced, in the remaining five degrees of freedom (air gap, lateral, pitch, roll, and yaw). Performance in the normal position was compared to the mesh/matrix prediction. Generally good agreement was obtained between measured and predicted values of thrust and efficiency. Differences between predicted and measured thrust (especially at high slips) were related to the solid back iron and skin saturation.
