Abstract

This article investigates the optimal design of a magnetic-planetary-gear permanent magnet (MPG-PM) machine. The key is to develop a design method for the pole shoe thickness, stator outer diameter and coil turns of the MPG-PM machine in such a way that the torque waveform is sinusoidal. The magnetic field distributions is solved by the finite element analysis according to the optimization results. A prototype of MPG-PM machine is used for exemplification in terms of the experiment performance requirement. Both the predicted and measured results are given to illustrate the proposed machine. The theory analysis and the experimental results show that the magnetic circuit of the MPG-PM machine is correct, and the torque satisfies design requirements. It provides reference and application value for developing high performance and low-cost MPG-PM machine.
