The property of the soft magnetic composite (SMC) material is introduced. Take the traditional material used for electric machine, i.e. the silicon steel lamination, as the reference, this paper summarizes the application advantages of SMC in the typical electric machine, such as tubular permanent-magnet liner machine, high-speed permanent-magnet machine, claw-pole machine, axial flux permanent-magnet machine and radial flux permanent-magnet machine. SMC material has much applied potential in the field of electric machine.
In this paper, a novel dual-stator permanent magnet machine (DsPmSynM) with low cost and high torque density is designed. The winding part of the DsPmSynM adopts phase-group concentrated-coil windings, and the permanent magnets are arranged by spoke-type. Firstly, the winding structure reduces the amount of copper at the end of the winding. Secondly, the electromagnetic torque ripple of DsPmSynM is suppressed by reducing the cogging torque. Furthermore, the dynamic performance of DsPmSynM is studied. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
