This study presents the design, fabrication and evaluation of three linear electromagnetic actuators (LEAs), namely solenoid actuator (SA), moving coil actuator (MCA), and moving magnet actuator (MMA), for actuating a jet dispenser of a dispensing system. Three simplified 2D models of SA, MCA, and MMA are built and modified by the finite element method (FEM) to generate better models with a higher thrust force value. The FEM-based optimal dimensions of SA, MCA, and MMA models are used to fabricate three actuator prototypes. The fluid dots' size produced by the LEAs jet dispensers is...
