A study on thermal characteristics of linear motor for high speed machining tools

공작기계 고속이송용 리니어 모터의 열 특성에 관한 연구

Linear motor feature a direct connection to the machine tool, therefore a direct route for heat transfer. The heat dissipation of linear motor machine is affected by the maximum temperature rise of the primary part, coil and the cooling method. To minimize temperature induced dimension changes and decrements of performance, linear motor machine require effective cooling mechanism. To evaluate cooling performance of existing linear motor machine, some experiments about temperature profile are performed using thermocouple recorder. Due to the lack of information about internal structure, only some finite element modeling is prepared and analyzed.
