Abstract: In this paper, a linear switched reluctance motor is designed and investigated to be used as a sliding door drive system. A non linear two dimensions finite model is built to predict the performance of the designed motor. Thus, the static electromagnetic characteristics are investigated and analyzed. The inductance and the electromagnetic force are determined for different translator position and current intensities with consideration of magnetic saturation effects. The results of analysis prove that the magnetic behavior of this motor is non linear. Furthermore, an important asymmetry of the static and dynamic characteristics between the extreme phases and the central phase is observed in high excitation levels.
