Segmental rotor axial field switched reluctance motor with single teeth winding

A novel 12/10 axial field SRM with segmental rotor and single teeth stator is investigated, which is proposed for high torque performance within reducing copper volume. This paper presents the machine topology, which base on the axial field to permits use of short pitched windings placed around a single teeth stator. This concept improves the torque capability of the previous design, but uses much less copper volume. The theoretical basis and FEM is established base on the software of Maxwell and Matlab-Simulink. Experiment results are presented for the machine operating as a drive, indicating the viability of the concept which is much suitable for the low speed and high torque application.
