| Summary: | This article proposes a mathematical model of an axial flux induction motor (AFIM) with one stator and one rotor. The model is based on the expression for the electromagnetic torque, which presents a function of two independent variables: the axial length of the stator core and the flux density in the air gap. This allows calculating the main dimensions of the motor with the highest possible torque density. Thus, developed model is suitable for designing the motor of specified volume with maximum torque, and solving the inverse problem of minimizing the machine volume with the specified torque. The detailed output of the model and the results of the calculations for the low-power engine powered by voltage of 7.35 V (RMS) are given. The results are validated using FEM in ANSYS software: with the outer motor diameter of 0.11 m, the flux density in it reaches 1.2 T.
