Vibration Reduction of IPM-Type BLDC Motor Using Negative Third Harmonic Elimination Method of Air-Gap Flux Density

This paper proposes a harmonic elimination method for vibration and noise minimization of an interior-type permanent-magnet motor, achieved by alternating the distribution of the radial flux density. The minimization of vibration and noise is realized by forming optimal notches corresponding to the shape of the magnetic field on the rotor pole face. The variations in vibration are computed by a nonlinear finite element method, and the validity of the analysis and rotor shape design is confirmed by performing vibration and performance experiments.
