To overcome the disadvantage that the detent force of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) with short primary is large, a scheme of the modular PMLSM with flux barriers is proposed in this paper. First, the detent force model is established and verified. The phase-angle characteristics of the harmonics in the detent force waveforms are analyzed. Then, the design principles of the scheme with different sectional combinations are analyzed, and two series of the combinations are demonstrated. The detent force and thrust characteristics of these combinations are subsequently compared. In addition, to improve the thrust density, the auxiliary teeth set at the ends of the sectional primary cores are proposed. Finally, the corresponding conclusions obtained by comparing the modular motors with the traditional motor are presented.
