In order to optimize the structure of high temperature superconducting coils for linear motor applications, three separate coils with different shapes made of Re-BCO coated conductor were studied: circular shaped single pancake, circular shaped double-pancake and racetrack shaped single-pancake. The thrust and vertical forces of the three coils above a conventional flat linear three-phases winding were investigated experimentally. With the aid of the experimentally obtained values, it was found that single-pancake coil in the shape of a racetrack was the best selection for a flat single-sided linear motor system. Studies were also made on the frequency characteristics of the vertical force of the racetrack shaped single-pancake coil.
