The flat-type vibration motor has an axial-gap structure. Analyzing axial-gap motors with the two-dimensional (2-D) finite-element method is very difficult because we have to define the analysis surface as a cylindrical surface. In order to simulate the flat-type vibration motor, we have developed new equations of calculation for the torque of the motor, which is uses a 2-D grid model. We have measured the load torque of the vibration motor which is used for the motion transient analysis. The simulated vibration characteristic is compared with experimental value
