A study on the improvement of construction error in PM stepping motor with claw pole

Claw pole PM stepping motor의 조립 오차를 개선시키기 위한 연구

This paper analyzed the characteristics of the claw pole permanent magnet(PM) stepping motor by using 3D Finite element method(FEM). In this motor, magnetization is occurred along the z-axis, therefore it is necessary to apply 3D FEM for analysis of the claw pole motor. A phase difference of the two stacks's detent torque is 180 degrees. When the center of a permanent magnet is identical with the middle of a pole, small detent torque is produced in order to cancel each of detent torques. However, there are construction errors which are a discrepancy between one and the other phase section in the manufacturing process, thus the detent torque is increased. Moreover, it is confirmed that the proportion of the detent torque is considerably arisen according to the error. Analysis of the construction error is studied by changing the error $0^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$.
