Verification of the Analytical Torque Calculation and Active Weight Optimization for a Scalable Axial Flux Motor

A novel motor concept of a scalable axial flux motor with U-core plates (AxMDM) and a GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) disk rotor was developed. In this paper, the verification of the analytically calculated torque for the AxMDM is shown. It is also shown that a miniaturization of the U-core lamination improves the ratio of torque per active weight.
