Abstract

Despite continuous effort to minimize torque ripple, the reduction of vibration has not been yet achieved due to the lack of link between these two performances. The difficulty of investigating the relationship stems from the fact that torque is solely influenced by tangential force whereas vibration is directly tied to radial force. In this paper, the correlation between torque ripple and vibration in an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is established by examining the air-gap flux density in both radial and tangential directions. Its temporal and spatial harmonics are analyzed. A six-pole nine-slot IPMSM is used as a base configuration, and the air-gap flux density is varied by changing the height of a stator tooth tip. In the previous study, the same approach has been done to observe how to reduce torque ripple effectively. In this study, however, it is found that the trend of torque ripple is not the same as that of vibration with respect to the height of a pole tip, and the relation between the two is thoroughly observed and explained.
