This study discusses the topology development of a cylindrical transverse flux linear machine for use with a free piston engine. Despite its three‐dimensional flux path, the stator of this topology can be made from regular laminated components and only the translator includes soft magnetic composites. The detailed design development is discussed, including stator tooth combination, alternative winding, and fabrication techniques. Results from both finite element analysis and experimental measurement are compared, which gives a validation of the feasibility of the building process.
