A linear electromagnetic plunger device generates linear force in the direction of the motion of the plunger. One of the essential components of the system is the core. The core is winded by conductor wires and the wires are energized by a power source. In this way the core windings produce magnetic flux by the help of the currents carried through the conductor wires. The generated magnetic flux navigates through the core component to the pertinent direction. By this way the directed magnetic flux generates motion on the plunger. This mechanism has wide application fields in automotive industry and machinery especially for areas commonly requiring a controlled actuator motion. There is limited range of opportunities to illustrate physical phenomena related to electromagnetics. Particularly in electromagnetics, it is so useful to use computational methods for illustrating phenomena about electromechanical conversion calculations of force in a magnetic circuit. For this purpose, it is practical to make use of a software such as EMWorks. Via EMWorks software, force in a magnetic circuit and current density distribution can be calculated and the results of numerical results can be presented in an automated manner. The mechanism of the plunger system involves electric energy conversion into magnetic force energy. The overall workflow is nothing but an electromagnetic energy conversion. One of the essential advantages of an electromagnetic plunger is that it can easily be controlled by an electric control and the response time of the plunger system is quite applicable for industrial applications. In this study, the main goal is to obtain magnetic flux density distribution yielding a generated force. Using the force generation calculation, the decision of the magnitude of current required can be obtained. Which amount of elecrtic current will result in how much force generation on the plunger, is the aim of this study. The EMWorks simulation software is used in this study to perform the electromagnetic simulations.
