This paper deals with the ellipse permanent magnet machines for the minimization of torque ripple based on electromagnetic field theory. On the basis of a magnetic vector potential and a two dimensional (2-D) polar system, analytical solutions for flux density due to permanent magnet (PM) and current are obtained. In particular, the analytical solutions for mathematical expressions of magnets with different circumferential thicknesses can be solved introducing improved magnetization modeling techniques. The analytical results are validated extensively be nonlinear finite element solutions, a reduction of torque ripple can be achieved.

This paper investigates the permanent magnet (PM) overhang effect on the characteristics such as cogging torque and torque in brushless DC motor (BLDCM). The overhang effect has been used to enlarge the performance of the radial flux density in BLDCM and balance the force in the axial direction for the reduction of the vibration. 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network method (3D EMCNM) is used for the accurate and efficient analysis. The characteristics of BLDCM are analyzed according to the variation of overhang length and the optimal length and ratio of overhang is determined.

Brushless DC motor(BLDCM) can be driven by 120[^{\circ}]$ square wave voltage and use PWM pulse patterns in two-phase feeding scheme to control the speed of the motor. This Paper introduces four PWM modes used BLDCM control system, and analyzes their different influences on the motor performances using a time-stepped voltage source finite element method. To verify the proposed computational method, we built the prototype motor for electrical power steering(EPS) and compared the predicted and the measured back EMF and phase current.

Electrical motors are an integral part of industrial plants with no less than 5 billion motors built world wide every year. The demand for low-cost brushless DC (BLDC) motors has increased in industrial applications. This paper presents a BLDC motor control algorithm for low-cost motor drive applications using general purpose microcontrollers which have only one on-chip timer. This paper describes how to realize pulse width modulation (PWM) signals with general input/output (I/O) ports to control a three-phase permanent magnet brushless DC motor using the timer interrupt on MSP430F1232.

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.

This paper describes a indirect sensing method for the rotor flux position of interior permanent magnet (IPM) brushless DC motors. The phase inductance of an IPM motor varies appreciably according to the rotor position. The waveform characteristics of the terminal voltage of IPM brushless DC motors is analysed and a simple and practical method for indirect sensing of the rotor position is proposed. A compact sensorless drive is implemented and tested using a 87c196mc 16-bit microcomputer. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method and the drive works well from 500 to 7,200rpm.

The space harmonic analysis, as an analytical method, is used to estimate the flux distribution in the air gap of the brushless motors in this paper. With the flux distribution, back-emf and torque characteristics can be estimated.[1-7] Therefore, the air gap flux distribution of surface type permanent magnet motor according to the motor specifications are studied to estimate the torque characteristics in this paper. To validate the analysis result of this method, 2-dimensional finite element analysis is performed and the air gap flux density is compared to that from space harmonic analysis.

Brushless do motors have been replacing brush type motors in machine tool and robotics applications over the last number of years This Paper deals with the design and application of the slot-less permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The slot-less PMSM eliminates rotational cogging torque due to permanent magnet preferred positions decreases core loss and thus increases efficiency, provides excellent torque-to-volume and power-to-volume ratios, and has a linear current versus torque relation. The PMSM with slot-less stator is designed and manufactured, which will be used for high speed and high efficiency application such a medical instruments.
