Influence of unequal stator tooth width on the performance of outer-rotor permanent magnet machines

Outer-rotor permanent magnet machines for low-speed and high-torque applications have been used due to their high moment of inertia and torque density. In this paper, the 12-slot/10-pole outer-rotor fractional-slot permanent magnet machine model is established by finite element analysis, the influen...

description Outer-rotor permanent magnet machines for low-speed and high-torque applications have been used due to their high moment of inertia and torque density. In this paper, the 12-slot/10-pole outer-rotor fractional-slot permanent magnet machine model is established by finite element analysis, the influence of unequal stator tooth width and tooth tip width is investigated for the PM machine, and five different schemes of stator tooth and tip width are designed and analyzed. Detailed comparisons of the performance characteristics of the machines are presented including important issues such as output torque, magnetic field distribution, and tooth flux density. It is shown that the torque density and cogging torque and efficiency can be effectively improved by choosing reasonable tooth and tip width, which lays a foundation for further optimum design and efficiency improvement of the machine.
