Construction Design, Modelling, and Parameter Computation Outer Rotor Induction Motor

Design of a Bearingless Outer Rotor Induction Motor

A bearingless induction (BI) motor with an outer rotor for flywheel energy storage systems is proposed due to the perceived advantages of simple rotor structure, non-contact support and high speed operation. Firstly, the configuration and operation principle of the proposed motor are described. Then several leading dimensional parameters are optimally calculated for achieving the maximum averag...

Design Optimization and Construction of Double-Sided Linear Induction Motor

Linear induction motors have single and double-sided structures which are used in special applications, according to their advantages and disadvantages. Due to advantages such as lack of normal forces in double-sided type, these motors are more controllable and popular than the single-sided type, especially for transportation applications.  In literature, single-sided linear induction motors ha...

Design for Manufacturability of a High-performance Induction Motor Rotor

A study is conducted on the state-of-the-art manufacturing practices of conventional industrial and research-and-development (R&D) firms manufacturing electric induction motors. It is found that current industrial processes cannot produce high-performance motors, and that current R&D processes are too costly. A new manufacturing process for fabricating the rotors of squirrel cage induction moto...
