A simple analytical model of a permanent magnet transverse flux motor with a particular disk rotor

In this paper a simplified analytical model, useful in a sizing-designing algorithm, is developed for a transverse flux motor with a modified double-sided stator and a permanent magnet (PM) disk rotor. The performances are calculated analytically using magnetic equivalent circuits for aligned and unaligned rotor position and checked against the ones obtained via three dimensions (3D) finite element method (FEM) analysis. The results yielded by both methods show a good agreement.
