30 - Magnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor <ST,CB>


Overview
Magnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor
Closeup
A magnetized magnet needs a careful handling at the time of assembling a motor, so it is useful to magnetize the magnet after placing it in the motor.
When the anisotropic magnet placed in the motor is magnetized, the effective magnetization field distribution is determined by the magnetization field and the orientation of the magnet.
Magnetizing Tool of JMAG can be used to obtain the magnetization field distribution, taking into account the magnetization field of the magnet evaluated in advance.
This note presents the use of magnetic field analysis to obtain the magnetization field used to magnetize a permanent magnet placed in an SPM motor and also to obtain the surface magnetic flux density of the magnet.

Magnetization Field
Figure 1 shows the magnetization filed distribution, generated by the current in the stator coils. The magnetization field between poles is smaller than at the center of the pole. The effective magnetization field distribution is obtained from this magnetization field and the orientation of the magnet. Magnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor:Magnetization Field

Surface Magnetic Flux Density of the Magnet
Magnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor:Surface flux Density of the Magnet
Closeup
Figure 2 shows the surface magnetic flux density waveform of the magnet when the uniformly magnetized magnet is used and when the magnet magnetized by Magnetizing Tool is used. The orientation of the magnet is parallel and reverses at 45 degrees, so the surface magnetic flux density differs substantially between the uniformly magnetized magnet and the magnet magnetized by the tool.
