Abstract

With the advent and wide availability of rare earth magnets, axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines of interest for investigation and potential application. The AFPM machine has variant topology, and have the potential design to have non-starting cogging torque. Such a machine would have various application for example- low-speed wind turbine, wheel hub machines for electric vehicles and specialist electrical motors applications such used for automatic doors.

For this project, the mechanical design of an AFPM no-cogging torque machine, double rotor and stator is designed for analysis to review of mechanical stress in the AFPM machine components. The dimension were set to design with the specification of materials for the each component. The Design developed using the CREO3.0 parametric software and analysis carried out through the software. The assembly of components rotor and stator with an air-gap between the component arrangements. The analysis were done by applying force and pressure load at different conditions with constrained at the stator surface.

The results analysis of stress obtained with maximum principal stress on the AFPM machine, Stress analysis for the AFPM machine shows that it is reliable for machine to operate with specified components. The results proven the stress would be higher during the longer operation of the AFPM machines. The design of AFPM machine no cogging torque is completely reliable and it will be used for developing prototype and especially for low-speed wind turbine.
