DOUBLE SIDED LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR WITH TRANSVERSE ASYMMETRY FOR SPECIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
This article considers questions of the transverse displacement of the secondary non-magnetic element with respect to the double sided inductor of linear induction motor. It is shown that in several cases it is expedient to displace artificially the secondary element in the transverse direction relative to the inductor for changing the driving force and the movement speed. The arising transverse force can be used as the operating in some devices of special purposes. A calculation model and method of calculating the characteristics of the motor at the transverse displacement of the secondary element were developed. The effect of the transverse displacement of the secondary element, width of the inductor and the secondary element on the value of the driving and transverse forces was researched. It was shown that by changing the transverse displacement of the secondary element relative to the inductor can adjust the driving force of a linear motor. This method can be used to control the driving force and the speed of special transport systems. The experimental verification of the developed methods was executed. It was shown that they provide sufficient for practical purposes accuracy of calculating the magnetic field and the integral characteristics of a linear induction motor with double sided inductor both in the symmetrical position and at transverse displacement of the secondary element relative to the inductor.
