It is necessary for a linear induction motor (LIM) to have large thrust force in application for the vertical movement. If it doesn't have enough thrust force, it can't lift even itself. A ratio (thrust force/weight of motor), therefore, is the most important factor for design of this motor.
In this paper, assuming LIM to be a motor with no slot-effect and infinite length, a simple analytical model is introduced for steady state operation. Comparing with results of detailed numberical analysis, it is verified to be applicable for basic evaluation of the motor. The design of the motor for vertical movement is carried out and the ratio is maximized. The basic dimensions of a feasible motor are given for such application
