This study investigates the effect of different skewing methods and angles for switched reluctance machines (SRM) having high pole count using multiphysics simulations. A 24/16 SRM is modeled for each skewing method and different skewing angles using 3D electromagnetic finite element analysis (FEA). Mechanical and acoustical analyses are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of different skewing...
This paper describes a simple ripple compensation method of suspension force and torque in a bearingless surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor with two-phase integrated winding configuration. Only two H-bridges or eight power transistors are used for the proposed topology. The neutral point of each phase is connected to the middle point of the power sources to superimpose the suspension and...
This paper proposes a new family of electric motors based on the concept of an airgap-less device with an internal rotor. The internal flux and therefore electromagnetic torque is maximized because the rotor is allowed to touch the stator. The proposed family of motors are competitive in applications where hydraulic motors are prevalent, i.e., low-speed and high-torque requirements. Furthermore, the...
Permanent magnet Vernier (PMV) machines have attracted more and more attention for their merits of high torque density and simple structure.

The induction motor with skewed rotor bars is an effective motor structure for eliminating the slot harmonic fields, and the resulting noise and vibration. 2-D multi-slice finite element method (FEM) is typically used to analyze the performance of the induction motor with skewed rotor bars. However, in order to achieve high accuracy, the number of the slices is generally very high, which is also a...

Magnetic suspension pumps have been attracted attention and actively developed. These pumps can realize magnetic suspension and rotation of a rotor shaft integrated with an impeller without mechanical contact. There is now a need to develop a magnetic suspension pump that is capable of 5-axis active control while retaining a small size and low power output. However, conventional structures capable...
Bearingless motors combine in the same structure the characteristics of conventional motors and magnetic bearings. Traditional bearingless machines rely on two independent sets of winding for suspension force and torque production, respectively. The proposed Multi-Sector Permanent Magnet (MSPM) motor exploits the spatial distribution of the multi-three-phase windings within the stator circumference...
The paper is concerned with the robust finite-time stabilization problem of quadrotors subject to inertia uncertainty and disturbances. The underlying stabilization problem consists of controller designs for position loop and attitude loop, both of which are carried out based on the terminal sliding mode control approach. First, a robust finite-time position controller is designed by considering the...

In flywheel system, rotor is supported by mechanical bearing. In the cases that the weight of the rotor is heavy and the rotational speed is high, mechanical loss is large. Superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) is introduced to support with contact-less and control-less. The rotor is supported by the pinning effect in SMB. Pinning force depends on the specification of the HTS. In this paper, the...
Traditionally, active magnetic levitation systems in rotor applications comprise separate motor for torque production, two or more radial active magnetic bearings (AMBs) and one axial AMB. Such an arrangement produces long rotors. Resulting AMB-rotor systems are often supercritical making the levitation control challenging. The centralization of the torque and force producing actuators shortens the...
Eccentric mass unbalance of the electric motor causes vibration of the shaft and the whole system, when the rotational speed increases.
