In this paper, an efficient robust design utilizing an enhanced Taguchi method is proposed to reduce cogging torque of a BLDC motor in the presence of design uncertainty. To overcome defects of the conventional Taguchi method in dealing with a generalized robust design problem, a penalty function and an optimal level searching technique are newly introduced. In order to verify the proposed method, a 5 kW, rated speed of 2,300 rpm, rated torque of 20 Nm BLDC motor for driving electric vehicles is optimized. Then, the robust design is compared with conceptual and deterministic ones in terms of the cogging torque, rated torque and torque ripple.

This paper presents bisymmetric dual iron core lineal motor stage for heavy-duty high precision applications such as large area micro-grooving machines or high precision roll die machines. In this stage, two iron core linear motors are installed in laterally symmetric way to cancel out the attractive forces. Main focus was given to analyzing the effect of cogging force and moment for two different layouts, which are symmetric and half-pitch shifted ones. Experimental results showed that the symmetric layout is more adequate for high precision applications because of its clear moment cancellation effect. It was also verified that the effect of the residual cogging moment can be suppressed further by increasing the bearing stiffness. One problem of the symmetric layout is added cogging force which hinders smooth motion, but its effect was relatively small compared with that of moment cancellation.

1kW급 저소음 수직형 풍력발전기용 동기발전기 설계에 대해 설명한다. 낮은 풍량에 유리한 수직형 블레이드 특성에 맞춰 발전기는 코깅 토크가 낮아야 하며, 고효율화를 위해 다극형 설계가 유리하다. 현제 국내 수직형 풍력에 적합한 발전기가 대부분이며 수직형 풍력발전기에 적합한 낮은 코깅 토크의 발전기는 일반화 되어있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 동기발전기 최적 설계를 통해 코깅토크를 최소화 시켰고, 다극형 형태를 통해 낮은 풍량에서 고효율 출력을 만들어낼 수 있도록 200rpm에서 역기전력 96V, 1kw의 정격출력을 가지도록 설계 하였다. 수직축형태의 블레이드에 구조에 맞춰 축계통형 발전기 구조를 가지고 있고, 유한요소해석법을 이용 회전자, 고정자, 권선법, 영구자석 등의 구조를 최적화 시켰다.

Cogging torque is often a principal source of vibration and control difficulty in permanent magnet motors, especially at low speeds and loads. For example, reduction of cogging torque is an important specification for DC motors used for electric power stee- ring. This paper examines two motor design techniques, stator tooth notching and rotor pole skewing with magnet pole shaping, for reduction of cogging torque, and the effect of each method on the airgap flux, and the use of the Maxwell stress method and Fourier decomposition to calculate the periodic cogging torque. The analyses show that the cogging torque can be nearly eliminated by the suggested designs, with minimal scacrifice of output torque.

Recently, various applications of permanent-magnet(PM) electric motor have been more increased. Compared with the other electric motors, PM electric motor has cogging torque which results from the interaction between PM of rotor and slot-teeth structure of stator. Audible noise and vibration is caused by this cogging torque. So, the reduction of cogging torque is main designing goal of PM electric motor. The purpose of this paper is to realize the decrease of cogging torque using new experimental design and response surface analysis which is one of the statistical methodologies.

For motor operation at low speeds and loads, torque pulsation by the cogging torque is often a source of vibration and control difficulty. In this paper, the magnetic field of a motor is calculated by finite element method. The periodic cogging torque is determined using Maxwell stress method and time stepping method, and then decomposed using fourier series expansion, The purpose of this paper is to characterize design parameters on the cogging torque and to design a permanent magnet motor with a cogging torque less vulnerable to vibration, without sacrificing the motor performance. The design parameters include stator slot width, permanent magnet slot width, airgap length and magnetization direction. A new design with a less populated frequency spectrum of the cogging torque is proposed after characterizing individual effect of design parameters. Magnet pole edge shaping, by gradually increasing the cogging torque with reduced higher harmonics.
