Superposition techniques for analyzing cogging torque sensitivity to manufacturing errors in fractional pitch PMSM

Theoretically, the layout of fractional pitch permanent magnet motors should ensure the cancellation of most cogging torque harmonics. In reality, manufacturing errors lead to incomplete cancellation and higher than expected cogging torque. Two potential manufacturing errors are the variation in angle between successive magnets and the strength of the magnets.
