About
Dr. J.L.G. Janssen is a leading expert in the design and reliability of linear permanent magnet (PM) machines. His research focuses on the critical interplay between electromagnetic forces and mechanical components, particularly in high-force-density actuators. His most-cited work, "Bearing lifetime of linear PM machines" (2009, 7 citations), addresses a pivotal challenge in the field: as slotted brushless linear PM actuators achieve greater force density, the resulting attraction forces—once considered advantageous—now severely compromise bearing longevity. Janssen’s contribution lies in systematically analyzing this trade-off, providing a framework to predict and mitigate bearing failure. This work has become a foundational reference for engineers seeking to balance electromagnetic performance with mechanical durability. While his citation count reflects a specialized niche, his insights are instrumental for advancing reliable, high-performance linear motion systems in industrial automation and precision positioning. Janssen’s research underscores the importance of holistic system design, bridging electromagnetics and tribology to extend machine life.
