Abstract:
In order to increase structure compactness, critical rotor speed, and output torque of existing 12/12 bearingless switched reluctance motor (BSRM) with axial-biased permanent magnet, an improved modular permanent magnet BSRM is comprehensively investigated. First, basic structure and operation principle for torque and suspending force are briefly introduced. Second, magnetic design, including torque and suspending force, is taken into account. In addition, basic size estimation, self-starting capability, maximum suspending force, and selection of secondary air-gap are comprehensively considered in design. Third, several characteristics, such as torque, suspending force, etc., are deeply analyzed. Finally, a prototype motor is manufactured based on the above-mentioned analysis and design method. And the implemented experiment results show that the improved structure has good performance.
