  • Patent number: 9006948
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid pole bearingless switched reluctance motor (BLSRM). The BLSRM includes a stator provided with windings, a rotor rotating about an axis when current is conducted to the windings. The rotor includes a plurality of rotor poles extending radially outward, and the stator includes a plurality of stator poles extending radially inward. The windings include suspending windings to generate radial force for the rotor and torque windings to generate torque. The suspending windings are mutually separated from the torque windings. Through the use of the hybrid pole BLSRM, a stator pole generating the radial force can be controlled independently from the stator pole generating the torque by separately arranging the stator pole generating the radial force and the stator pole generating torque based on the analysis of radial force and torque characteristics according to the position of the stator poles.
