Stator Core Shape Design for Low Core Loss and High Power Density of a Small Surface-Mounted Permanent Motor

In this paper, a stator core shape design method is proposed for an improvement in the power density of a small surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor. In order to improve the power density of a motor, it is necessary to increase its torque or reduce its weight. However, when a stator core sha...

description In this paper, a stator core shape design method is proposed for an improvement in the power density of a small surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor. In order to improve the power density of a motor, it is necessary to increase its torque or reduce its weight. However, when a stator core shape is miniaturized to reduce the weight of the motor, the winding regions in a motor frequently decrease. Our stator core shape design method improves the power density of a motor by reducing its weight without decreasing the torque and keeping the winding regions constant. Moreover, the core loss of a motor also decreases when using our method. A Bezier curve is used for the determination of a stator core shape. The finite element method in consideration of the vector magnetic properties is used to evaluate the core loss of the motor shaped by our method. As a result, the power density of an SPM motor is improved, and the core loss of the motor decreases.
