description The transverse-flux motor, which has the advantage of high torque density, has become one of the research focuses of direct-drive motors for low speed and high-torque industrial applications. This paper aimed to propose a transverse-flux flux-reversal motor with consequent-pole configuration (TF-CFRM), which has a robust rotor structure and provides high torque density by using fewer expensive NdFeB permanent magnets. Firstly, the basic structure and running work principle of the TF-CFRM are introduced. Secondly, the analytical expression of electromagnetic torque is derived from a simplified 3D-equivalent magnetic-circuit model. Then, the preliminary optimization of the basic dimension is accomplished by the finite element method to improve the torque density. At last, the electrical performances, e.g., the torque density, overload capability, and power factor of the proposed TF-CFRM are analyzed and compared with those of the transverse-flux flux-reversal motor (TF-FRM) and traditional flux-reversal motor (FRM).
