Abstract
This paper presents the design and performance of an integrated magnetorheological fluid brake axial flux permanent magnet (IMRFB-AFPM) machine with two switchable operation modes: rotation and brake modes while the machine has two kinds of windings: armature winding in axial stators and braking winding in radial stator. In rotation mode, this machine is equal to a conventional AFPM machine with high torque density. When switching to brake mode, MR fluid is excited by braking winding and applies large damping stress to the rotor to brake it. This paper illustrates the machine topology, operation principles, and design flow of the proposed machine. Then, this paper analyzes the torque generation mechanism in two modes and applies parameters optimization to improve the torque capability of each mode. Due to the independence of the magnetic flux path, the parameters optimization is divided into two parts: AFPM part and IMRFB part. After the optimization process, the electromagnetic performances of the optimal IMRFB-AFPM machine are analyzed by finite element (FE) analysis. Finally, a prototype machine with the optimal geometric parameters is manufactured and verified experimentally. The experiment results agree well with FE analysis results, validating the feasibility and practicability of the proposed design.
