Effect of the forces of one-way magnetic attraction on the reliability of the bearing unit of the traction switched reluctance motor

Abstract

The subject of the research is a traction switched reluctance motor with an uneven air gap. The main purpose of the work is to determine the forces of one-way magnetic attraction, evaluate and analyze these forces, develop measures to reduce the forces to an acceptable value. In the article, the forces of disbalancement and the forces of one-way magnetic attraction are considered in the relationship. The finite element method was used to determine the main parameters of the switched reluctance motor. The studies were carried out for two idealized variants of the location of the rotor rotation axis. In the first case, the axis of rotation is combined with the axis of symmetry of the stator. The second option considers the case of displacement of the axis of rotation together with the axis of symmetry of the rotor. It is determined that the resulting force of one-way magnetic attraction with an uneven air gap reaches significant values and significantly exceeds the permissible values. An algorithm for calculating the characteristics of a switched reluctance motor is proposed, which takes into account the tolerances for the manufacture of its design elements. The algorithm allows you to adjust the requirements for the bearings used, ensure the required level of reliability of the traction switched reluctance motor (SRM) and predict the level of vibration and noise.
