The consistency problem caused by the uncertainties in manufacturing process is a significant factor influencing the quality of electromagnetic device (EMD). The foundation of quality analysis and consistency optimization is the substantial calculation for the input-output characteristics of the product. As for EMD, the interaction of electricity, magnetism (permanent magnetism), and dynamics make the calculation quite complicated. At present, finite-element method (FEM) is a common method for calculating the output characteristics of EMD. However, FEM takes too much time for calculating, it is difficult to be applied for the quality analysis and consistency design of EMD that requires substantial calculation. In this paper, a new approach for the quality analysis and consistency design of EMD based on the approximate model has been proposed. First, the approximate model for calculating the EMD output characteristics is established on the basis of FEM simulation results. Second, using the approximate model, the quality analysis of batch products is conducted with Monte Carlo method. Finally, the optimal design for consistency is carried out with robust tolerance design method. The effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper is verified by the case study of a certain type of electromagnetic relay with permanent magnet.
