With the development of high performance processing system, high precision Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) has been the focus of research. This paper provides a novel double-sided PMLSM with quasi- sinusoidal ring windings, to reduce the thrust ripple while keep the average thrust at a suitable value. Firstly, the distributions of the magnetic fields in this motor are analyzed, the low-order harmonics of armature magnetic field induced by the quasi- sinusoidal ring windings are studied, by equivalent magnetizing current (EMC) method. The winding factor and the Back Electromagnetic Force of this PMLSM are analyzed theoretically and verified by finite-element (FEM) method, based on the specific structure of quasi-sinusoidal ring windings. Furthermore, the electromagnetic thrust analysis is provided, which is aimed at the influence of the novel winding structure. Finally, a prototype of the double-sided PMLSM with quasi-sinusoidal ring windings is manufactured to verify the effectiveness of the topology proposed in this research. The presented results show that this novel motor can provide a great thrust property, it has a potential in high performance industry applications.
