Analysis of the Impact of Design Parameters on the Power Density of the New Design of the Cogging Machine

The cogging machine is a new design of a machine with permanent magnets, which combines the advantages of a machine with transverse flux (TFM), eliminating its disadvantages. The biggest advantage of TFM machines is their high torque density, which varies with the design parameters. The developed machine retains these advantages while simplifying the construction of the stator core, which is the biggest disadvantage of TFM machines. This article presents the results of an analysis of the power density of the developed cogging machine as a function of a number of pole pairs and the basic design parameters. Analyses were carried out on the basis of the derived analytical equations, which make the generated torque depend on the construction parameters. Thanks to the derived dependencies, one can easily examine the effects of modifying the machine structure. The results presented in the article prove that the developed design of the cogging machine is competitive in relation to machines with permanent magnets existing on the market.
