Moving coil vs moving magnet

26Swiss Chapter of IEEE Power Electronics Society

Moving-magnet vs moving-coil planar motor

• Magnet array is finite, increases modeling complexity

• Force is acting on coil volumes, torque arm is larger and

position dependent for moving-magnet planar motors

• Modeling and control is more complex in moving-magnet

case, however, the levitated structure is less complex

Realization• planar stroke: 200x200 mm2

• nominal acceleration: 5 ms-2

• power transfer: 335 W

• variation power transfer: 15%

Conclusions• Planar stages could be levitated or suspended

• 45 degrees rotated coil cannot only be used in coreless,

but also iron-core planar motors

• Balance between acceleration, suspension force and

mass in multi-physical design

• Integration of energy transfer system in the airgap

requires magnets with a low electric conductivity (and

hence, with a low magnetic loading)

• Superconducting motors are the next generation of planar

stages
