Torque Characteristics of Reverse Permanent Magnet Motors with Alternating Unequal-Tooth Fluxes in Double-Armature Windings

Jingyi Hu, Renzhong Wang, Yifei Yang

Conventional flux-reversal permanent magnet motors have problems such as excessive torque ripple and rich harmonic content in direct drive applications such as oil exploration, which restrict their application in high-precision scenarios. To address this issue, this paper presents a hybrid excitation topology that integrates double-armature windings, stator Halbach hybrid permanent magnet arrays, rotor-staggered unequal-tooth and rotor-hybrid permanent magnets. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted using ANSYS Maxwell 2023 R1 to evaluate electromagnetic performance under rated steady-state conditions, rated power 300 kW, rated speed 83 rpm, rated voltage 660 V, rated phase current 307 A, and axial core length 200 mm. The simulation results show that the proposed topology has an average output torque of 34.5 kN·m at rated conditions compared with the traditional flux-to-reverse permanent magnet motor of the same size, and the torque ripple rate is reduced from 27.5% to 17.4%, a relative reduction of 36.8%. The results are based only on numerical simulation and have not been verified by physical prototype experiments. Dynamic control strategies, multi-load transient responses and experimental verification will be carried out in subsequent work.
