LIMITATIONS OF THE CONVENTIONAL METHODS OF FORCE AND TORQUE PREDICTION

摘要

The calculation of forces and torques developed in electromechanical devices, and their variation with changes in position or excitation, is often what the designer is, ultimately, interested in. This paper addresses some of the problems associated with the force and torque calculations based on numerical field solutions for 2-D magnetostatic problems. The problem of calculating the cogging torque characteristic of a neodymium-iron-boron permanent-magnet motor is considered and the technique of torque measurement is described briefly.
