Abstract
It is significant to balances torque and vibration performance for the surface-mounted permanent magnet (PM) machines. This paper proposes a functional magnet structure to suppress the vibration response of integral-slot surface-mounted PM machines. At the same time, the torque ripple is also greatly reduced without sacrificing the average torque. Firstly, taking the 48-slot/8-pole PM machine as an example, the main sources of the air-gap radial force are analyzed based on the Maxwell stress equation. Thereby, the main PM flux density harmonic components that contribute to the radial force are pointed out. Secondly, the design method of different functional magnet structure is investigated. Then, the effects of different magnet shapes on the torque and vibration performances are compared. The result shows that the proposed sinusoidal+3rd-order harmonic injection functional magnet structure can effectively improve the vibration performance without sacrificing the average torque. Finally, the prototype of the 48-slot/8-pole PM with functional magnet structure is manufactured, and the experiments are carried out for validation.
