Investigation on the Electromagnetic Force Distribution in the Armature Teeth of a Permanent Magnet DC Motor

摘要

The torque, to some extent, is an important performance index of electric motors. In many permanent magnet DC motors, the armature core is slotted with the winding embedded into the slots. What kind of force occurs on the armature teeth (or slot) and hence forms the torque is an interesting problem. In the past some relevant researches were reported, which concluded that all torque came from the force generated in the flanks of the armature teeth, and the force on the teeth surface facing the field magnet contributed nothing to the output torque.
