“…The goal of the study on electromagnetic torque is to find the largest torque with the same outer diameter. As shown in (5), the electromagnetic torque is related to the inner diameter in addition to the depth of the air gap, but the relationship is not monotonous. Hence, the electromagnetic torque at different inner diameters is calculated.…”

“…The development of the RFPM machines is very mature. However, in many applications, mechanical gears are necessary to improve the torque, while they increase the manufacture and maintenance cost, as well as the system volume [4][5][6]. In order to avoid the mechanical gears, the axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine has recently attracted much attention from scholars [7][8][9].…”

Electric machines with high torque density are needed in many applications, such as electric vehicles, electric robotics, electric ships, electric aircraft, etc. and they can avoid planetary gears thus reducing manufacturing costs. This paper presents a novel axial-radial flux permanent magnet (ARFPM) machine with high torque density. The proposed ARFPM machine integrates both axial-flux and radial-flux machine topologies in a compact space, which effectively improves the copper utilization of the machine. First, the radial rotor can balance the large axial forces on axial rotors and prevent them from deforming due to the forces. On the other hand, the machine adopts Halbach-array permanent magnets (PMs) on the rotors to suppress air-gap flux density harmonics. Also, the Halbach-array PMs can reduce the total attracted force on axial rotors. The operational principle of the ARFPM machine was investigated and analyzed. Then, 3D finite-element analysis (FEA) was conducted to show the merits of the ARFPM machine. Demonstration results with different parameters are compared to obtain an optimal structure. These indicated that the proposed ARFPM machine with Halbach-array PMs can achieve a more sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF). In addition, a comparative analysis was conducted for the proposed ARFPM machine. The machine was compared with a conventional axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine and a radial-flux permanent magnet (RFPM) machine based on the same dimensions. This showed that the proposed ARFPM machine had the highest torque density and relatively small torque ripple.

“…Stator slotting effect on the magnetic-field distribution is important that it induces motor's eddy current core loss [17,18]. To investigate effect of the suggested slot opening shape on the slotting effect, we calculated airgap magnetic flux density around a single slot of Ref., Case 1, and Case 2 of Table 1.…”

This paper presents a method to reduce the winding-to-rotor capacitance of electrical machines for the purpose of suppressing shaft-to-frame voltage, which causes reliability issues, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and bearing current. The proposed method is based on the modification of slot opening shape of the stator core, including the variation of slot opening width and the use of oblique slot opening. For the verification of the suggested method, six different slot opening shapes, including a reference design, are analyzed and compared using finite element analysis, and the results show that the proposed method can reduce the shaft-to-frame voltage by 98%, compared to the reference design.

The axial-flux magnetic-field-modulated brushless double-rotor machine (MFM-BDRM) is a possible alternative as a power-split device for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). However, the existence of large axial force may lead to assembly problems and rich inner air-gap harmonics could result in high PM loss and low efficiency. This paper proposes a novel axial-flux MFM-BDRM with improved PM rotor structure. 2-D analytical method to predict the magnetic-field distribution of the proposed MFM-BDRM is developed and the design procedure of the proposed machine is illustrated. The impact of key geometrical parameters on axial force and torque is investigated. To evaluate the advantage of the proposed machine, a comparison is made with a conventional one with respect to electromagnetic performances. Results show that the proposed machine is effective in reducing PM eddy loss and axial force by 60% and 35%, respectively.
