The significant drawback of PMLSM is thrust ripples, which is mainly generated by the detent force caused by the interaction of the permanent magnet and iron core without input current in armature winding. It is the function of mover position relative to the stator. This will deteriorate the performance of the drive system in high precision applications. This paper focus on the thrust ripples reduction. To minimize the thrust ripples and realize the high-precision control, the components of thrust ripples are extracted first and then compensate with PI and IMC (Internal Model Control) controller.
