Uniformity of performance and minimized maintenance requirements are highly demanded in industrial applications. However, tolerances in the manufacturing process are inevitable, and the inherent manufacturing tolerances degrade the cogging torque performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). Therefore, a robust optimal design process was proposed to ensure that even if manufacturing ...Show More
The high power density, high efficiency, and wide speed range of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are attractive features. However, the cogging torque and unsuppressed torque ripple of PMSMs degrade torque quality and reliability and cause vibration. This article compares the effectiveness of PMSMs in reducing the cogging torque, torque ripple, and vibration by applying each stator toot...Show More
The 2-pole 6-slot permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is an attractive option for ultra-high-speed (UHS) applications due to their high manufacturability and balanced magnetic force. UHS PMSM should be designed with short stack length and end coil height due to rotor dynamics issue. Also, due to its high frequency, it must be designed considering stator iron loss, rotor eddy current loss, an...Show More
Step-skew is a common technique for eliminating the cogging torque of a target harmonic order in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). However, when step-skew is applied to the rotor, the cogging torque of the target harmonic order is not completely eliminated due to 3-D leakage flux. Therefore, the 3-D leakage flux should be considered in designing a PMSM with step-skew for cogging torque ...Show More
The 2-pole 6-slot (2p6s) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is an attractive option for ultra-high-speed (UHS) applications due to its excellent manufacturability and balanced magnetic force. UHS PMSMs should be designed with short stack lengths and end coil heights to address rotor dynamics issues. In addition, given their high frequency, these PMSMs should be designed considering stator i...Show More
