Improved Skew Method in Permanent Magnet Motor with Segmented Rotors for Reducing Cogging Torque
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 141, 185-193, 2024
Abstract
Rotor segment skew pole can effectively weaken the cogging torque, but the traditional rotor segment skew pole can also cause the unbalanced axial electromagnetic force, then add load to the bearing thus affecting the performance and decreasing the service life of the motor. It is complicated to study the effect of segment skew pole by the energy method. According to the generating mechanism of cogging torque, this paper presents an easy method. The relationship between segment number and cogging torque harmonics weakening is analysed through the application of geometrical relation and Fourier series, and a simple method for determining segment number is obtained. By analysing the main source of axial force in rotor segment, a new type of rotor arrangement is proposed, which can avoid excessive axial force while retaining the effect of traditional oblique pole mode on cogging torque weakening. The correctness of the conclusion is verified by finite element simulation and prototype experiment.
