Abstract: This paper presents the design and analysis of a slotless tubular
linear actuator for the ecopedal system of a vehicle. To achieve high fuel
efficiency in a vehicle, the electric actuator produces a counter force to the
vehicle's pedal when pressed. The actuator requires a high level of
performance, such as a high force density and low detent force. In this study,
the design of the slotless tubular linear actuator was optimized to satisfy
these requirements. The finite element method was used to analyze the
actuator's electromagnetic properties, and the viability of the design result
was verified experimentally.
Keywords: Tubular actuator, slotless actuator, linear actuator, linear motor, eco-pedal system
