A Novel Dual-Stator Radial-Flux Machine With Diametrically Magnetized Cylindrical Permanent Magnets

This paper presents a dual-stator permanent magnet synchronous machine (DS-PMSM) with diametrically magnetized cylindrical PMs (DMCPMs). The advantages of the proposed DS-PMSM are its small cogging torque and torque ripple, sinusoidal (low harmonic) air-gap flux density waveforms, and a high pole-pair number structure, which can be used to increase the torque density. To confirm the advantages of the proposed DS-PMSMs, first, the cogging torques produced with conventional arc PMs and cylindrical PMs are compared. Next, a DS-PMSM with DMCPMs is designed, and its cogging torque is calculated. Then, all the relevant machine characteristics, including the cogging torque, air-gap flux density, back electromotive force, and torque–angle characteristics, are predicted by the two- and three-dimensional finite-element method. Finally, the machine is prototyped, and the validity of its advantages is investigated with the experimental tests.
