This study aims to achieve fast and accurate calculation of the magnetic field parameters in a double-sided ironless permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (DSILPMSLM) and to provide an efficient analytical tool for its design and optimization. Although the finite element method (FEM) provides accurate results, it requires substantial computational resources and time, and is unable to construct a mathematical relationship between the magnetic field and motor structure parameters. The analytical method can overcome the drawback of long computation time associated with FEM by establishing a precise mathematical model for rapid calculation. Firstly, based on the equivalent magnetization current principle, the magnetic field of a DSILPMSLM was analytically modeled. Expressions for the no-load air-gap flux density and no-load back electromotive force (EMF) of non-overlapping winding DSILPMSLM were derived, and a thrust model was developed and solved. Secondly, the results obtained from the analytical method were compared with those from FEM simulations and experimental measurements. Thirdly, an experimental platform was set up to test the no-load back EMF and thrust of the research prototype. The air-gap flux density, three-phase back EMF, and average motor thrust calculated by the analytical method show close agreement with both FEM results and experimental data, confirming the accuracy of the proposed method in predicting the magnetic field of DSILPMSLM. The analytical method employed in this study demonstrates high accuracy and significantly reduces computation time. It provides important guidance for the design and optimization of high-performance permanent magnet synchronous linear motors.
