ANSYS 2011 中国用户大会优秀论文 Design and Study of a Novel Linear Motor for Stirling Cryocooler Wenpeng Zheng, Zhou Zhang , Wei Su No.21Research Institute under China Electronics Technology Company, China E-mail:zwp-2000@163.com Digest: Based on the analysis of the two existing typical linear motors for Stirling Cryocoolers, a novel structure linear motor is developed, which adopts assembled stator core and has the characteristics of high air gap flux density, small volume, light weight and simple installation. Firstly, the size estimation formula is established in this paper, and then the motor parameters are optimized with the finite element method(FEM) considering the effect of changing its structure size. Analytical results show that the novel structure can significantly reduce the volume, which is specially important for the spaceflight application. The experiment verifies the feasibility and calculation accuracy of the design. Key words: linear motor, stirling cryocooler, magnet-moving 1. INTRODUCTION Compared with rotation Stirling Cryocoolers, linear Stirling Cryocoolers are characterized with small volume, high efficiency and long life, making them more utilized. The linear Stirling Cryocooler is directly driven by a linear motor and the two is assembled in one unit; therefore，the motor behavior has a very important effect on the Cryocooler. Advanced linear Stirling Cryocoolers mostly adopt magnet-moving linear motors(MMLMs), in which the magnet moves while the winding keeps still. This type of motor is of long life and high reliability, making it suitable for the space application. MMLMs can be classified int
