Recently, development of rare earth permanent magnet with the high remanence, high coercivity allows the design of brushless motors with very high efficiency over a wide speed range. Cogging torque is produced in a permanent magnet by magnetic attraction between the rotor mounted permanent magnet and the stator teeth. It is an undesired effect that contributes to output ripple, vibration, and noise of machine. This cogging torque can be reduced by variation of magnet arc length, airgap length, magnet thickness, shifting the magnetic pole and varying the radial shoe depth and etc. In this paper, some airgap length and magnet arc that reduce cogging torque are found by finite element method(FEM) and Maxwell stress tensor method. The SPM(Surface Permanent Magnet) type of high-power Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is optimized as a sample model.

Cogging torque, the primary ripple component in the torque generated by permanent magnet (PM) motors, is due to the slotting on the stator or rotor. This article shows the reduction of cogging torque in a novel axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor through the various design schemes. 3D finite element method is used for the exact magnetic field analysis. The effects of slot shapes and skewing of slot on the cogging torque and the average torque have been investigated in detail.

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.
