An outer-rotor flux-switching permanent-magnet-machine with wedge-shaped magnets for in-wheel light traction

This paper proposes a novel outer-rotor flux-switching permanent-magnet (OR-FSPM) machine with specific wedge-shaped magnets for in-wheel light-weight traction applications. First, the geometric topology is introduced. Then, the combination principle of stator slots and rotor poles for OR-FSPM machines is investigated. Furthermore, to demonstrate the relationship between performance specifications (e.g., torque and speed) and key design...
