A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with rotor embedded segmented permanent magnet was analyzed. The structural features and flux weakening principle are introduced. The shape of the rotor is optimized to get a sinusoidal air gap magnetic density waveform and reduce the toque ripple. The whole-permanent-magnet (PM) motor and the segmented-permanent-magnet motor are compared from the asp...

Axial field flux switching motor with sandwiched permanent magnet (AFFSSPM) is a novel of flux switching motor.

In this paper, a compact magnetic bearing system has been developed for axial flow blood pumps. The system is composed of two radial hybrid magnetic bearings (HMBs) and a brushless permanent magnet DC motor. The impeller of the pump is enclosed in the rotor that is suspended by the two HMBs with five-degree of freedom (DOF) control, among which four radial directions are actively controlled, an...

This paper illustrate the design and realization of control drive electronics of Limited Angle brushless torque motor for position control of Scan mirror mechanism. The scan mirror mechanism is controlled for the intended limited mechanical angle within +/20deg. The control drive is designed for six selectable positions within +/20deg with an accuracy of 0.75 degree. These six selectable positi...

The hysteresis motor is so named because it is producing mechanical torque utilizing the phenomenon of hysteresis. The rotor of a hysteresis motor is a cylindrical tube of high hysteresis loss permanent magnet material without windings or slots. This paper presents the design of a hysteresis permanent magnet motor using the finite element method. The rotor of the machine consists of 36% Cobalt ...

The paper develops a power factor correction mechanism for a brushless dc permanent magnet (BLDC-PM) motor drive system through the use of a front end boost converter. It evolves a wave shaping mechanism to arrive at the sinusoidal nature for the input current in an effort to improve the input power factor. The theory is articulated using a closed loop algorithm to revolve around the operating ...

Brushless DC motor has a rotor with permanent magnet and has no mechanical commutator which leads to many advantages like less maintenance, long life, high reliability, low inertia, low friction and low noise. Since the brush system/commutator assembly is replaced by an electronic controller which can be easily integrated into other required electronics, thereby improving the effective power to...

This paper describes the experimental study carried out on a Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) Motor drive coupled to a pump load powered by photovoltaic (PV) array I for water pumping system. A simple low cost prototype controller has been designed and developed without current and position sensors which reduces drastically the overall cost of the drive system. This controller is used to ...
