Abstract—Linear electrical motors are electrical machines which directly convert electrical energy into linear motion without requiring any extra mechanical components. So far, DC and AC linear motors have been employed in many positioning systems. On the other hand, the main reasons of DC linear motors have not been widespread are their stroke limitations and high cost. This paper presents for mechatronic systems a geometric and magnetic design of single-sided, linear brushless direct current motor (LBLDC). The designed motor has 3 A, 24 V, 72 W, and 70 N pull force, high force/volume rated and low cost. Its characteristics were analyzed by using finite-element software. The prototype was simulated and released of a single-sided LBLDC. The obtained results were compared with the results obtained by the analytical methods.
