In this paper, an analytical method used for predicting the magnetic field distribution and cogging torque characteristic in a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented. The magnetic field is analyzed with the space harmonic analysis, and the cogging torque is calculated based on the air-gap field distribution and slot-opening effect considered by relative permeance. The validity of the presented analytical method is confirmed by 2-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Then this analytical method combines with response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to the prototype PMSM model rebuilding in order to minimize the cogging torque. Finally, an optimized PMSM model is built and the cogging torque reduction is confirmed by FEA.

Cogging torque will affect the performance of a permanent magnet Brushless DC Motor (BLDCM), thus the reduction of cogging torque is key for BLDCM optimization. In this paper, the phase shifting of cogging torque for a fractional-slot concentrated winding BLDCM is analyzed using the Maxwell tensor method. Moreover, a 9-slot 10-pole concentrated winding BLDCM driven by ideal square waveform is studied with the finite element method (FEM). An effective method to reduce the cogging torque is obtained by adjusting the slot opening. In addition, the influences of different slot openings on back electromotive force (back-EMF), air gap flux density and flux linkage are investigated and experimentally validated using the prototype BLDCM.

This paper deals with magnetic field analysis and computation of cogging torque using an analytical method in Interior Permanent Magnet Motor (IPMM). The magnetic field is analyzed by solving space harmonics field analysis due to magnetizing and the cogging torque is analyzed by combining field analysis with relative permeance. In reducing cogging torque, the inferences of various design variable and magnetizing distribution are investigated. It is shown that the slot and pole ratio (the pole-arc / pole-pitch ratio) combination has a significant effect on the cogging torque and presents a optimal flux barrier shape to reduce the cogging torque. The validity of the proposed technique is confirmed with 2-D Finite Element(FE) analysis.

In order to reduce the cogging torque, by predicting the variation of the cogging torque according to pole arc/pitch ratio by analytical and FE methods, pole arc/pitch ratio which makes the cogging torque minimum are determined. And then, the measurements of cogging torque for permanent magnet generators with determined pole arc/pitch ratio are presented. The reasons for the error between predicted and measured value are discussed fully in terms of the shape of permanent magnet. Finally, by confirming that predicted results for cogging torque according to pole arc/pitch ratio and skew are shown in good agreement with those obtained from measured one, the validation of analysis results is confirmed.

This paper studied cogging torque reduction effect for sloping notch applied two notches on stator teeth. We have confirmed accuracy of FEM(Finite Element Method) through comparison previous model using asymmetric notch for experiment and 3D FEM results, and then cogging torque comparison of previous model and sloping notch model. Also the sloping notch model has been modified to step-sloping notch model to consider manufactur. The modification method of sloping notch changed the degree of slope of notch (a)(Notch(a) sloping Deg) and the degree of Slope of notch (b)(Notch(b) Sloping Deg). When Cogging torque is case of minimum, Notch (a) Sloping Deg is $-12[^{\circ}]$ and Notch(b) Sloping Deg $12[^{\circ}]$. In this case, cogging torque was about 23.9[mNm]. Cogging torque of previous model is about 40.8[mNm], so sloping notch model is less than previous model by 41.42[%]. Also, if sloping notch model is changed to step-sloping notch model, cogging torque of step-sloping notch model is about 24.82[mNm], Therefore the difference between the two cogging torque is about 3.85[%], so step-sloping notch model can be applied when considering manufacture.

In a permanent magnet brushless dc motor, cogging torque is produced by the magnetic attraction between the rotor mounted permanent magnets and the stator teeth. This always produces a pulsating torque ripple resulting in vibration and acoustic noise, which is detrimental to the motor performance. This paper deals with the analytical prediction of cogging torque and the various cogging torque minimization techniques as applied to a permanent magnet brushless dc motor.

In this paper, the design for an electromagnetic structure and reduction cogging torque of a dual generator structured RFPM generator, which is a combination of the inner- and outer-rotor types, has been proposed. We call this a dual generator radial flux permanent magnet generator. To reduce the cogging torque, firstly, stator tooth pairing was designed; secondly, stator displacement was designed and finally, stator tooth pairing and stator displacement were carried out simultaneously. We found the optimal design condition about stator tooth pairing angle combination and stator displacement angle for cogging torque minimization. As a result, a cogging was reduced by 93.3[%] by this study.

In this paper, we propose the cogging toque reduction technique of the dual stator radial flux permanent magnet generator. The cogging toque is caused by the torque ripple increase and vibration and noise of the generator. And it is important factor determining cut-in speed of the small wind generator. To reduce cogging torque, permanent magnet displacement was studied. And the theory of the permanent magnet displacement was formulated and the cogging torque reduction according to the permanent magnet displacement was confirmed through the finite element method.

In a permanent magnet motor, cogging torque arises from the intersection of the rotor magnets with the steel teeth on the stator. This paper describes design measures which can be taken to reduce the cogging torque. In this paper for the optimal shape design of brushless DC motor, evolution strategy is investigated to find the dimension of stator of BLDC motor that minimizes the cogging torque. The corresponding field analysis is performed by two-dimensional finite element method.
