Abstract
When a magnetic bearing is used in the design of a high-speed motor, no friction and wear occur because of the principle of magnetic levitation; however, the size of the entire system increases. An integrated magnetic bearing motor is a motor with a magnetic bearing inserted inside the rotor that can minimize the increase in the size of the entire system. In this study, a method to reduce the bearing force ripple and torque ripple of an integrated magnetic bearing motor through parameters for a Halbach array and permanent magnet tapering is proposed. When designing an integrated magnetic bearing motor, because the magnetic bearing is located inside the rotor, the influence of the magnetic flux of the rotor and stator on the magnetic flux of the magnetic bearing should be minimized. By combining the magnetic fluxes of the magnetic bearing, rotor, and stator at the rotor back yoke, magnetic saturation occurs, and the performance of the bearing force and torque ripples decreases. The bearing force and torque according to the Halbach array and permanent magnet tapering were analyzed using finite element analysis. The average bearing force and torque were maximized, and the ripple was minimized through the rotor parameters. Thus, the validity of the main design variables selected to improve the output characteristics was confirmed.
