Abstract
The traditional radial flux PMSM and axial flux PMSM have an effective air gap on only one side, between the stator and rotor, and only the effective air gap generates electromagnetic torque. There are defects in the magnetic-field utilization, and it is difficult to improve the torque density. Therefore, this paper proposes an axial–radial-flux permanent-magnet synchronous motor (ARF-PMSM), which combines radial flux with axial flux, to be used in an elevator-traction machine-drive motor. The characteristics of the ARF-PMSM are that the stator core is made of a soft magnetic composite material and the winding is annular. The motor has three effective air gaps, which can achieve high torque density without increasing the overall dimensions. In this paper, the mechanical structure and operation mechanism of the ARF-PMSM are introduced, and the characteristics of its magnetic circuit structure are analyzed by using the equivalent magnetic circuit method. The torque characteristics and other electromagnetic characteristics of the ARF-PMSM, the traditional surface-mounted PMSM, and the spoke-type PMSM are compared and analyzed using the finite element method. The research results show that the proposed motor has high torque density, which provides a new design idea in the form of a high-torque-density PMSM for use in elevator-traction machines.
