Stepper motors are commonly used for positioning in printers and digital cameras.The magnetization of the magnets used for the PM stepping motor largely affect the motor's characteristics.Therefore, it is advantageous to accurately measure the characteristics of the PM stepping motor by clearly defining the magnetization with an analysis.This example presents the use of magnet field analyses to obtain the induced voltage of a PM stepping motor that combines magnetization distribution, surface flux density, and magnetization of magnets magnetized with a magnetization device.

Cogging torque is produced as a motor rotates. Problems such as a reduction in efficiency, vibrations, and noise can be improved by reducing the amount of cogging torque that occurs. One factor that affects the cogging torque is the direction the magnets are magnetized. This example presents the use of a magnetic field analysis to obtain the surface magnetic flux density for the radial pattern, parallel anisotropy pattern, and the polar anisotropy pattern of magnets. Furthermore, the flux linkage, induced voltage, and cogging torque are obtained for an SPM motor that uses magnets with these magnetization patterns.
