Abstract
Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are becoming increasingly popular due to introduction of the second generation of rare-earth permanent magnets. Owing their unique construction and many advantages, AFPM machines have extensive topology and applications. Among them the coreless AFPM (without ferromagnetic material in the stator) offer reduced cogging torque which proved to be particular useful for special applications, e.g. low power wind energy generation, hub motors of electrical vehicles and electrical bicycles.
A Double Stator Internal Rotor prototype was designed and constructed to investigate the performance of the coreless construction. This geometry (not very popular due to poor winding utilisation) has an advantage of using less PMs. Polyester resin was used to hold eight cylindrical shape magnets of the eight pole machine. The large effective air gap of the coreless machine was minimised by keeping a physical air gap and the axial thickness of the trapezoidal stator coils to the minimum, after measuring the magnetic flux distribution around the rotor circular poles. Three types of stators were manufactured to enable a performance comparison: a blank without any conductors for mechanical losses estimation, a ribbon wire coreless and a ribbon wire with magnetic powder composite backing.
Test Results confirmed the limitations of the prototype’s geometry and the validity of the AFPM design parameters. The magnetic powder composite backing countered the unfavourable magnetic flux distribution of the internal rotor allowing for increase in power output compared to the stator without backing. Both types of conductor stators do not have a cogging torque with EMF outputs being very close to pure sinusoidal. Ribbon shape of the coil conductor was very beneficial in producing thin rigid coils of large diameter. This might prove to be invaluable in a multi-disc configuration.
