摘要

This paper presents an improved and simple analytical model to study the static angular eccentricity of single stator single rotor axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) machine. The magnetic flux densities in the air gap under normal and static angular eccentricity are calculated by using a combination of Maxwell's equations and Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) transformation. The original contribution of the model is that angular eccentricity is obtained without extra transformations. Thus the proposed approach is simpler than existing methods. The calculated back electromotive forces (EMFs) and cogging torque by the proposed method are compared with those obtained from the finite element (FE) model, the results show acceptable accuracy of the proposed method. In this way, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.
