The invention discloses a
primary permanent-
magnet vernier
linear motor and a segmenting method therefor, and belongs to the field of vernier linear motors. A primary side which is provided with a permanent
magnet in an embedded manner and a winding is segmented to form an upper primary side and a lower primary side, wherein the upper primary side and the lower primary side are respectively provided with the winding and the permanent
magnet in an independent manner, the winding is a centralized or distributed winding, and the permanent magnet is disposed at the lower primary side in a surface-embedded or built-in manner, and also can be embedded at the lower primary side in the surface-embedded if a
magnetism gathering module is employed. The
magnetism gathering module consists of the following parts: one permanent magnet with the magnetizing direction being in a radial direction, and two smaller permanent magnets which are distributed at two sides of the radial magnetizing permanent magnet, wherein the magnetizing directions of the permanent magnets at two sides are symmetric. A
secondary side is a
cut-off inverted trapezoidal iron core, and is disposed between the upper primary side and the lower primary side. The
linear motor is advantageous in that the primary side is segmented, thereby effectively avoiding the space conflict between the permanent magnet and the winding, facilitating the adjustment of an electric load so as to improve the push density; in addition, a long
secondary side has no winding and permanent magnet, thereby greatly reducing the cost; the
linear motor can be used in the field of long-distance
rail transit.
