Design Methodology of a Dual-Halbach Array Linear Actuator with Thermal-Electromagnetic Coupling

This paper proposes a design methodology for linear actuators, considering thermal and electromagnetic coupling with geometrical and temperature constraints, that maximizes force density and minimizes force ripple. The method allows defining an actuator for given specifications in a step-by-step way...
