Full-period suspension force accurate modelling for a novel bearingless switched reluctance motor

摘要

In the traditional bearingless switched reluctance motor (BSRM) system, the electromagnetic coupling between the torque system and suspension system is unavoidable. In this Letter, the present BSRM has the advantages of electromagnetic decouple with independent torque-suspension magnetic circuit design. However, the further in-depth study shows that the BSRM has an obvious suspension force fluctuation according to its asymmetry structure. Thus, it is necessary to build an accurate suspension force mathematical model considering commutation ripple. In this frame, a magnetic field segmentation method is proposed and the accurate suspension force model is built with Maxwell stress method and its reliability and precision are verified, modified based on finite element analysis.
