An X-Y Linear Induction motor (X-Y LIM) is a structure having two windings in the horizontal -X and Y- axes directions. One-direction thrust is created by exciting one winding, and a two-dimensional drive becomes possible by exciting two windings at the same time. We modeled only one pole of an X-Y LIM having a three-phase, six-pole structure, and used a three-dimensional finite element analysis method that ignored end effect and the influence of winding overhang. The following characteristics were examined to obtain guidelines for future designs: (1) flux density with respect to slot depth; (2) flux density with respect to the primary current; and (3) the relation-ship between the air gap and the thrust.
