Recently, production technique and property of the High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) tape have been improved. Thus, the study on applying an HTS magnet to the high magnetic field application is rapidly increased. A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer requires high magnitude and homogeneous of central magnetic field. However, the HTS magnet has fabrication errors because shape of HTS is tape and HTS magnet is manufactured by winding HTS tape to the bobbin. The fabrication errors are winding error, bobbin diameter error, spacer thickness error and so on. The winding error occurs when HTS tape is departed from the arranged position on the bobbin. The bobbin diameter and spacer thickness error occur since the diameter of bobbin and spacer are inaccurate. These errors lead magnitude and homogeneity of central magnetic field to be different from its ideal design. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of winding error, bobbin diameter error and spacer thickness error on the central field and field homogeneity of HTS magnet using the virtual NMR signals in MATLAB simulation.

This paper deals with design of a direct-coupled, small-scaled permanent magnet generator (PMG) for wind power application. First, this paper determines rated power and speed of the PMG from measured characteristics of wind turbines. Second, we derive analytical solutions for the open-circuit field in order to determine optimum magnet thickness and pole pitch/arc ratio. Third, on the basis of open circuit field solutions, stator magnetic circuit including slot opening, teeth width and yoke thickness is designed. And then, a diameter of stator coil which agree with a required current density is calculated, and its turns are determined from the area of slot considering winding packing factor. Finally, finite element (FE) method is employed in analyzing the details of the designed PMG and, test results such as back-emf measurements are given to confirm the design.

Magnet gear transfers a high speed torque of the driving side to a low speed following side. Of course, the torque is amplified as much as a ratio between pole number of magnet gears constituting both sides through ferromagnet modulator. However, the parameters of the overall magnetic system influence the transmitting torque strongly. They include a pole number of permanent magnet, magnet thickness, reducing ratio, harmonic modulator thickness, and open ratio etc. In this paper, the influences of the parameters are analyzed using finite element method tool. By comparison, a desirable design specification is proposed, including a recommended modulator pattern.

This paper presented an optimum design of a perpendicular PMDSLSM (Permanent Magnet Double-sided Linear Synchronous Motor) to minimize the detent force. As an optimum method, the response surface method was used and 3D finite element method for the calculation. The design variables of the machine were the primary core width and thickness, and magnet width, thickness and length. Object functions were to minimize the detent force and maximize the thrust of the basic model. The results showed that the thrust force of the optimum design increased from 82.1N to 90.2N and detent force decreased from 15.2N to 2.8N, respectively, compared to the basic model.

Until now, many research activities have been conducted to commercialize high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires for electric applications. Most of all researchers have focused on enhancing the piece length, critical current density, mechanical strength, and throughput of HTS wires. Recently, HTS magnet for generating high magnetic field shows degraded performance due to the deformation of HTS wire by high electro-magnetic force. The deformation can be derived from widthwise thickness non-uniformity of HTS wire mainly caused by wet processes such as electro-polishing of metal substrate and electro-plating of copper. Gradient sputtering process is designed to improve the thickness uniformity of HTS wire along the width direction. Copper stabilizing layer is deposited on HTS wire covered with specially designed mask. In order to evaluate the thickness uniformity of HTS wire after gradient sputtering process, the thickness distribution across the width is measured by using the optical microscope. The results show that the gradient deposition process is an effective method for improving the thickness uniformity of HTS wire.

The loss is most important problems for the practical applications of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). In this paper, rotor sleeve and stator shape design of high speed permanent magnet motor for loss reduction. First, this paper found optimum sleeve thickness for calculation eddy current loss on the basis of analytical method, because eddy current is influenced by conductivity of material and area. Then, stator shape design is changed as maintain same slot area for reducing stator core loss. Finally, this paper compared analytical result with optimum sleeve thickness obtained from finite element(FE) method, and stator core loss is calculated from FE method.

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor [IPMSM] which has high power density is applied to motor for Hybrid electric vehicle[HEV], Electric vehicle[EV], Fuel cell electric vehicle[FCEV] and electric home appliances. In order to improve efficiency performance of IPMSM, this paper presented a study by making a hole around air barrier. Because concentrated rib stress is distributed by suitable hole, the hole can reduce rib thickness of IPM rotor. And it can help decrease PM[Permanent Magnet] leakage flux. Saliency ratio($L_q/L_d$) is also increased by magnetic circuit change. For this study, structure analysis of rotor is performed by Ansys program.

Permanent magnets have recently been considered as device that can be used to control the behavior of mechanical systems. Neodymium magnets, a type of permanent magnet, have been used in numerous mechanical devices. These are permanent magnets made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure. The magnetic selection, magnet core design and mechanical errors of the magnetic component can affect the performance of the magnetic force. In this study, the coercive force, residual induction, and the dimensions of the design parameters of the magnet core are optimized. The design parameters of magnet core are defined as the gap between the magnet and the core, the upper contact radius, and the lower thickness of the core. The force exercised on a permanent magnet in a non-uniform field is dependent on the magnetization orientation of the magnet. Non-uniformity of the polarization direction of the magnetic has been assumed to be caused by the angular error in the polarization direction. The variation in the magnetic performance is considered according to the center distance, the tilt of the magnetic components, and the polarization direction. The finite element method is used to analyze the magnetic force of an optimized cylindrical magnet.

Recently, Development of Rare Earth Permanent magnet with the high remanence, high coercivity allow 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 the machines output ripple, vibration, and noise. 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 FEM(Finite element method). The SPM type of high-capacity BLDC motor is optimized as a sample model.
