The axially-split phase spherical bearingless flywheel machine (ASP-SBFM) operates mostly in fast charging and discharging conditions. The unique topology design and high power density of the ASP-SBFM can lead to complex machine losses and result in high-temperature rise. This article employs magneto-thermal coupling to perform an accurate analysis of the temperature field distribution of the ASP-SBFM. First, as the heat source for machine temperature rise, the ASP-SBFM losses are analyzed in detail. And the theoretical calculation results agree well with the FEA results. Then, the magneto-thermal coupling method is conducted to obtain the accurate temperature distribution of ASP-SBFM, where both natural cooling and high vacuum conditions are considered. The temperature distribution results can provide a reference for machine heat dissipation design, topology optimization, and machine body material selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
