摘要

This paper presents a new axial flux permanent magnet machine, named ring winding axial flux machine (AFM). The ring winding AFM (RWAFM) takes the advantage of segmented stator of yokeless and segmented armature topology with those of decoupled phases and ring winding of transverse flux topology. In this paper, the geometry of the RWAFM is introduced in detail. Furthermore, the working principle and torque production theory are discussed. To validate the concept and confirm manufacturability of the proposed topology, a prototype is fabricated. The performance of the RWAFM is studied through experimental tests, 3-D finiteelement simulations, and analytical discussions.
