Abstract

This paper presents characteristics of Two-Phase levitated linear induction motor (LIM). Recently, LIMs is used in much industry as the transportation system. In the semiconductor factory, to produce a dust during conveyance is not allowed. We developed the linear induction motor, used at such a place. This system is ac induction type, and its secondary conductor completely levitates and moves above a stator by non-contact. In this paper, we propose secondary conductor using the self-shading effect for stability levitation. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the calculated results of finite element method with experiments.
