A permanent magnet structure for maximizing the flux density per weight of magnetic material comprising a hollow body flux source for generating a magnetic field in the central gap of the hollow body, the magnetic field having a flux density greater than the residual flux density of the hollow body flux source. The hollow body flux source has a generally elliptic-shape, defined by unequal major...

The transverse flux machines (TFM), introduced at the beginning of the 80’s, are possible solutions for diverse applications requiring special electrical machines [1]. The researches have focused until now mainly on rotary TFMs. A new type of permanent magnet linear transverse flux reluctance machine is proposed here. Such machines can be successfully applied for example in conveyor application...

A characterization of the rotor losses in single-sided axialflux permanent-magnet (AFPM) machines fitted with nonoverlapped windings (NOW) is presented in this paper, through experimental validation of finite element analysis (FEA) estimates. A literature review detailing the previous work done in the area of rotor loss estimation is given and the approaches taken by the authors to model the AF...
