In this chapter, initially, the different topologies of incremental linear actuators are studied and presented, operating principal of switched reluctance actuator was described. Then, an analytical model of linear switched reluctance actuator was proposed and established which allowed to determine the electromagnetic force developed by the actuator. Finally, the different control techniques that can be applied to the studied actuator have been presented.
