This paper presents a design and analysis method for a novel hybrid flux permanent-magnet (PM) machine for a high-power density. By combining radial and axial flux machines with integrated windings, the air-gap flux density is increased, and an overhang structure of the PM and additional magnetic cores are applied to increase the power density. For the analysis and design of the proposed motor, a time-consuming 3-D finite-element analysis (FEA) is required owing to its unique structure. To address this problem, a correct and rapid novel analysis method is proposed using an equivalent 2-D conversion method. The accuracy of the proposed analysis method and the usefulness of the proposed motor are confirmed via the 3-D FEA and experimental results.Index Terms-2-D finite-element analysis (FEA), high-power density, hybrid flux permanent-magnet machine (HFPMM), integrated windings.
