A basic property of axial type Switched Reluctance Motor

This paper describes about a designed axial type Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) which intends to improve the output torque characteristic. The axial type structure has some advantages. One of the advantages is an increasing air gap dimension. Because the air gap dimension of the axial type motor is depended on the radial length, while an air gap dimension of the radial type motor is depended on the axial length. This advantage is expected to increase the inductance and the output torque. This paper shows the study of axial type SRM designed method and the basic property of the design motor by comparing the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results with experiment results.
