This paper presents an improved iron loss model, for the computation of the no load iron loss in the stator core of the in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), for the cases of with and without stator skew. 2-D analytical model is used for the computation of tooth and yoke flux densities of the in-wheel PMSM. The no load iron loss computed by the improved iron loss model, for the cases of with and without skew is compared with the finite element method (FEM) and the results show good consistency.

As a method obtaining linear thrust force for the magnet wheel producing a strong traction torque, the concept of magnetic shield is suggested and compared with the existing approaches. Specially, as the magnet wheel, in which the permanent magnets rotate mechanically instead of ac driving to make traveling field, is physically similar with the rotary induction motor, there is a periodical force ripple in tangential direction as well as normal direction. But, the force ripple can be suppressed from a shape change of the shield plate. Namely, the change brings out a change of entry and exit effect of the circumferential field for the magnet wheel. The feasibility of the shield concept is verified from simulation and experiment.

This paper presents a multi-objective optimal design process for an in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for high performance. In order to improve the characteristics of the PMSM such as the cogging torque, torque ripple and the back-EMF, the modified Taguchi method and the response surface method (RSM) are utilized. In addition, results of the proposed model are compared with the initial design and it is verified by 2D FEM.

In order to build a ship, painting on ship cargo tank is one of the most dangerous parts as it involves working in high altitudes and a closed ship cargo tank. Therefore, researchers have been developing devices that will enable mobile robots to operate on vertical walls. The wall-climbing robots have been widely used to attach on the wall such as suction types. These types can be utilized regardless of the wall material. However, it is required to adhere and control the suction cups. To moderate this drawbacks, this paper proposes an automatic painting robot that uses a permanent magnet mobile robot. Using the magnetic characteristics, this robot can move on the boat vertically and horizontally even while hanging on the ceiling of the ship cargo tank. Also, we made a prototype to test adhesive force of the permanent magnet wheel and mobile robot as well as the towing capacity and auto-piloting ability.

The magnet wheel which generates on its interfacing conductive part a repulsive force and a traction torque by rotation of permanent magnets is used to manipulate the conductive plate without mechanical contact. Here, the air-gap magnetic field of the magnet wheel is shielded partially to convert the traction torque into a linear thrust force. Although a magnitude of the thrust force is constant under the fixed open region, we can change the direction of force by varying a position of the shield sheet. So, the spatial position of conductive plate is controlled by not the force magnitude from each magnet wheel but the open position of shield sheet. This paper discusses non-contact conveyance system of the conductive plate using electromagnetic forces from multiple magnet wheels.

Two different designs of permanent magnet motors as direct wheel-set drive for the German high speed train ICE 3 are designed, one with surface mounted magnets (SM) and one with buried rotor magnets (BM). The surface magnet motor has $17\%$ less mass and a slightly higher efficiency and was therefore chosen for further investigations. Compared with the conventional drive system of the ICE 3, consisting of geared inverter fed induction machines, the gearless permanent magnet direct drive yields about $16\%$ lower losses. This calculation is based on the route parameters of the high speed track between Frankfurt/Main and Cologne in Germany, which is currently under construction.

현재 자동차 산업은 내연기관에서 전기차 시스템으로 접어들고 있다. 전 세계적으로 탄소 중립 정책이 이를 가속화하고 있으며, 자동차 제조사들은 기존 내연기관 시스템으로는 불가능했던 기술들을 개발하고 있다. 대부분의 전기차에는 PMSM이 적용되고 있는데 부피가 크고 무거우며 토크 밀도가 낮다는 단점이 있다. AFPM은 기존 PMSM의 단점을 개선한 모터로, 부피와 무게가 작으며 토크밀도가 높다는 장점이 있어 전기차의 In-Wheel Motor System과 UAM에 적용되는 모터이다. 하지만 전기차는 도로 주행만 가능하고 UAM은 비행만 할 수 있기 때문에, 미래 모빌리티인 전기자동차와 UAM이 통합된 모빌리티를 개발하고자 한다. 본 과제에 적용되는 AFPM모터는 PMSM의 단점을 보완할 수 있기 때문에 전기차-UAM 트랜스포밍 모빌리티의 모터로 적합하다. 이 모빌리티는 자동차와 UAM의 역할을 모두 수행할 수 있어 효율적인 이동을 돕고 도시의 교통 인프라 문제를 완화할 수 있다.

The spherical motor is an electric machine which is able to tilt its shaft on 3-dimensional space as using electromagnetic force. Recently a permanent magnet is remarkable material for applying electric machinery, because of high magnetic flux density. In this paper, a spherical motor, which has permanent magnet on its rotor, is researched. As known, the spherical motor has a special feature as 3 degrees of freedom (D.O.F) operation. This performance can be realized by using electromagnetic torque between coils and magnets. Therefore, in this paper, a permanent magnet spherical wheel motor is introduced and performance characteristics are analyzed for improving of operation stability.
