Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the dependence of the level and harmonic structure of the cogging torque in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) to interlocks and notches in a stator back iron, which are standard methods for stator lamination stacking in mass‐production.Design/methodology/approach – Methods of stacking up the lamination like welding or interlocking are introducing magnetic asymmetries in stator back iron which causes additional harmonic components (AHC). A finite element method and Fast Fourier transform were used to calculate cogging torque harmonic components (HC) with regard to the applied number and positions of interlocks and notches. All simulation results were verified by laboratory tests.Findings – It has been established and proved that technologies for stacking lamination packs cause local saturation peaks in back iron which give rise to additional cogging torque AHC and consequently increase the total cogging torque. It is also shown that the magnetic pr...
