Abstract: This paper presents the proposal of the hybrid circumferential-field model of an electrodynamic actuator. The field model uses the inductor current as the input data which is obtained from the circumferential model or experimentally. The field model implemented using the FLUX program makes it possible to easily determine the pressure distribution acting on the disc. The results have been verified experimentally.
