Development and Application of Low-Speed and High-Torque Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

To meet the demands of direct-drive petroleum equipment, developed a low-speed and high-torque permanent magnet synchronous motor. By analyzing and identifying the suitable key parameters such as permanent magnet structure parameters, air gap length, type and size of Stator Slot and so on, designed permanent magnet synchronous motor with the torque 10800 Nm, the rated speed 30 r/min and high efficiency and power factor. Obtained the flux density distribution situation and characteristic curves under no-load working condition through simulation and analysis. Manufactured the low-speed and high-torque permanent magnet synchronous motor and applied it to pumping unit. Test results show that this motor has many advantages such as wide range of speed regulation, small torque ripple, smooth operation and other characteristics. The Direct-drive Pumping Unit used this permanent magnet synchronous motor can save 20% energy than the beam pumping unit, so its social and economic benefits are significant.
