Abstract

In this study, the rotor structure of the double rotor – single stator axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AFPM) is optimized for minimizing the cogging torque without significantly changing the average torque of the motor. Three-dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis (FEA) is used for this optimization. Obtained results are compared with a base line reference axial flux synchronous motor.
