This study deals with modelling and simulation of a linear switched reluctance force actuator with an original, simple and low‐cost linear encoder. A fast and accurate way of determining linear switched reluctance motors‐characteristics based on two‐dimensional finite element analyses taking into account end‐effects is presented and validated. The linear switched reluctance force actuator is simulated using ‘Matlab‐Simulink’. The proposed actuator has been built and tested. Experimental measurements have confirmed the simulation results according to the proposed method.
