Abstract :
In this paper, a simple lamination stacking method for the teeth of an axial flux permanent-magnet synchronous machine with concentrated stator windings is proposed. In this simple lamination stacking method, only two lamination profiles are used and are stacked alternately. To evaluate the performance of this stacking method, a comparison is made between the proposed method with two profiles and a conventional stacking method that uses different profiles for each lamination layer, using a multilayer 2-D finite element model.
