Coreless axial flux permanent-magnet machines

Abstract

The paper presents construction and principles of operation of coreless axial flux PM machine. In its construction new solution of stator windings' mounting was used, that allowed to exploit active parts of machine more efficiently. Electric disc motors have small axial dimensions and can be installed directly in constructions of machine tools, technological devices and independent means of transportation. The interest in disc machines has grown recently due to introduction into operation new slotless and coreless constructions that allow, by using SEMA (Segmented ElectroMagnetic Array) technology, not only to eliminate ferromagnetic yokes and stator's cores, but also to increase its efficiency, decrease weight and size and decrease level of noises and vibrations of machine during its operation. There was also presented three dimensional model of machine and its parameters and characteristics obtained due to simulation. Results of this simulation were verified with experimental measurements conducted on physical model. To verify numeric model by comparing it to physical model, a dependence of electromagnetic torque from phase winding's constant current was determined for static state
