Abstract
In this paper a brushless permanent magnet motor is designed considering
minimum thrust ripple and maximum thrust density (the ratio of the thrust to permanent
magnet volumes). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used as optimization method. Finite
element analysis (FEA) is carried out base on the optimized and conventional geometric
dimensions of the motor. The results of the FEA deal to the significant improvement of the all
objective functions.

Abstract
In this paper particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for a design optimization of a linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (LPMSM) considering ultra low thrust force ripples, low magnet consumption, improved efficiency and thrust. The influence of PM material is discussed, too and the modular poles are proposed to achieve the best characteristic. PM dimensions and material, air gap and motor width are chosen as design variables. Finally 2-D finite element analyses validate the optimization results.
