This paper details the design and testing of a novel transverse flux claw pole linear machine suitable for large superconducting generators. The machine utilises a modular claw pole transducer design with a stationary field winding which eliminates the need for cryogenic couplers and electrical brushes for a superconducting machine. The results from this prototype will enable a better understanding of the electromagnetic and mechanical structures before embarking on a more costly super-conducting design. The structure of the prototype supports a field winding and core; four pairs of claw poles with a stroke of 500 mm; three armature windings and core. Tests will be preformed to determine the deflection of the airgap, field core and armature core, the induced voltage in the armature coils, the forces acting on the structure and the flux density variation in the claw poles.

Linear generator for direct drive wave energy applications
Hodgins, Neil; Keysan, Ozan; McDonald, Alasdair; Mueller, Markus (2010-12-06)
A 50kW linear permanent magnet generator with a novel topology has been designed and built. The main significance of the generator topology is that there is no attractive force between the stator and permanent magnet translator. The magnetic force between the magnets is reacted within a self supporting structure. The lack of magnetic forces closing the airgap and the modular nature of the generator topology makes the manufacture and assembly of the generator easier than a conventional iron-cored permanent m...
Torque Components Identification of Induction Machine by FEM
Skalka, Miroslav; Ondrusek, Cestmir; Schreier, Ludek; Michailidis, Petr (2011-09-10)
This paper contains torque components identification of 3-phase induction machine. Electromagnetic torque and pulsating torque is calculated via a circular path integral of the Maxwell stress tensor which provides a convenient way of computing forces acting on bodies by evaluating a surface integral. Torque calculations are done by finite element method in ANSYS and MATLAB. Also there are identified a high harmonic components of calculated torque with additional asynchronous torque calculation. The torque i...
Vector Magnetic Characteristic Analysis of Induction Motor considering Effect of Harmonic Component due to Secondary Slot
Enokizono, Masato; Kunihiro, Naoki (2011-09-10)
This paper presents load characteristics of a three-phase induction motor model core calculated with the finite element method considering two-dimensional vector magnetic properties. Influence of harmonic components due to the secondary slot of the rotor core on the total iron loss is investigated. In this paper we propose a new iron loss calculation method to consider higher harmonic components.
Magnetically levitated accelerometer design
Ceylan, İlke; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
This thesis proposes the utilization of magnetic levitation for designing an acceleration sensor, taking the advantage of up-to-date contactless displacement sensing technology. The accelerometer is expected to have long-term robustness by isolating the proof mass from the rest of the accelerometer body, virtually eliminating mechanical friction and wear. Furthermore, levitated sensors have a great potential to achieve high precision. In this context, this study presents designing a levitated accelerometer,...
Computer-aided optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures
Dicleli, Murat (1997-03-01)
This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the optimum design of steel tubular telescopic pole structures. The author's experience in steel pole structure's design is implemented in a computer program called ODAPS (optimum design and analysis of pole structures). Although several other computer programs exist for the analysis and design of steel tubular pole structures, they are limited to cases where dimensions are pre-defined by the user. Different from these conventional programs, the developed pr...
