This paper presents a simulation analysis of the impact of magnetization direction on the static and dynamic parameters of an electromagnetic linear actuator. The simulation analysis computations were completed for three different magnetization configurations of permanent magnets (i.e. axial, radial, and a Halbach array). The finite element method (FEM) was applied which provided a good representation of the properties of actual physical objects. The computations enabled an investigation into and an assessment of the impact of the runner magnetization method on the static and dynamic properties of the drive.Keywords: modelling and simulation, electromagnetic actuator, finite element method, field analysis, Halbach array
