In this article, a cylindrical electromagnet is designed and manufacture to lift a load with desired weight and dimensions. The design method is based on magnetic, thermal and mechanical equations. For this purpose, the magnetic and thermal limitations of the electromagnet are considered and its equivalent circuits are introduced. Also, to maintain the balance of the load, the dimensions of the electromagnet have been optimized. To save manufacturing costs, special attention has been paid to reducing the weight of the electromagnet. Also by using the multi-coil technique, the life span of the coil is increased and thus the maintenance costs are reduced. ANSYS and COMSOL software were used for the magnetic and thermal simulation of the electromagnet, and MATLAB was used to analyze the equivalent circuits and implement the design algorithm. To determine the accuracy and validity of the proposed method, a cylindrical electromagnet for safe lifting of loads with a maximum weight of 3200 (kg) and specific dimensions was designed and a laboratory prototype was made. The lifting force and temperature of the electromagnet were measured and compared with the simulation results and with those obtained from the analysis of its equivalent circuits. In both magnetic and thermal modes, the difference between the results was less than 4%, which indicates the good accuracy of the design. Compared to the available electromagnets in the market, the designed electromagnet is lighter and cheaper. Also, it has lower maintenance cost and longer uptime. These are its benefits for marketing.
