A Study on the Reduction of Cogging Torque for the Skew of a Magnetic Geared Synchronous Motor.

This paper is a study on the application position of skew in order to reduce the cogging torque of a magnetic geared synchronous motor (MGM). The cogging torque affects the noise and vibration of the motor, so it should be reduced as much as possible. To solve this problem, a conventional permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor is skewed to a PM. However, unlike other synchronous motors, the MGM has pole pieces (PPs), and a larger cogging torque is generated due to a larger reluctance difference. There have been few studies on the reduction of cogging torque of MGM, so it is essential to study the skew structure of MGM. Therefore, this paper has derived the optimum skew method by comparing and analyzing three models of MGM skewed to PM, PP, and PM and PP simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
