N1 - This study proposes a magnetic lead screw (MLS) as a continuous propulsion device for the general transport system (GTS). By integrating the outer rotor machine with the MLS, it is possible to construct a high force design with the improved operating surface area. Initially, a brief statement of the novel GTS is given, leading to an introduction of the MLS. Besides, a scaled 2.6-kN MLS demonstrator is presented to verify the propulsion principle and thrust force. Furthermore, the MLS design focuses on several types, which use different materials and magnetic structures. The three-dimensional finite element analysis is used to optimise design, with the goal of force performance. Moreover, the shear stress, cost-effectiveness, magnetic losses, and mechanical stress of the different topologies are compared, revealing that the MLS made by ferrite magnet is more suitable for employed in GTS applications. Finally, a dynamic model of the GTS is developed to verify the acceleration and speed responded. rotors magnetic leakage finite element analysis fasteners magnetic lead screw propulsion device general transport system continuous propulsion device outer rotor machine high force design improved operating surface area novel GTS 2.6-kN MLS demonstrator propulsion principle thrust force MLS design magnetic structures three-dimensional finite element analysis force performance magnetic losses ferrite magnet GTS applications A0260 Numerical approximation and analysis B0290T Finite element analysis E0210L Numerical analysis E1710 Engineering materials E2210 Mechanical components National Natural Science Foundation of China 51777090 Six Talent Peaks Project in Jiangsu Province 2017-KTHY-011
