Analiza wpływu kąta przesuniecia segmentów magnesów trwałych na parametry silnika BLDC małej mocy

In this paper, a brushless DC motor (BLDC) rotor-mounted permanent magnets is studied. The magnets are made of Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), a magnetic material having high remanence, coercivity and energy. The analyzed motor produces a significant amount of cogging torque, which is the primary ripple component in the torque generated by the motor. One method of achieving cogging torque reduction is to use magnet segmentation. Three-dimensional software based on the finite element method (FEM) is used to compute mathematical models of the BLDC motor. Various numbers of magnet segments are analysed. In addition, the analysis focuses on the cogging torque, the electromagnetic torque and the back EMF constant depending on various number of magnet segments. For each number of segments the optimal location of the segments is determined to minimise cogging torque.
