Abstract

In this study, the technology of Linear Permanent Magnet Vernier Electric Machines (LPMEVMs) is reviewed. Since the introduction of the first LPMVM designs, many designs have been proposed, and many researchers have come up with different ideas. The new LPMEVM technology has attracted the attention of many researchers, so with the efforts of researchers, it can be used in industrial applications of this machine and will be welcomed by craftsmen shortly. In the following, this article examines the work done in the field of LPMVM. In this study, the articles presented in this field are generally reviewed, the new technologies presented, and the structures have been analyzed by researchers and mentioned in the articles. Detailed more precisely on the structures presented and designs made for different parts of the machine, including the mover and translator, which include fixed and moving parts in the LPMV machine, the shape of the grooves and teeth, and the placement of permanent magnets and coils, will be discussed in this paper. This research discusses the designs presented in this LPMV machine and paves the future research path.
