  • Patent number: 8227951
    Abstract: In a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machine, a pole gap and a skew of permanent magnets on the rotor are designed such that oscillating torques which are caused by the fifth and seventh harmonics of the stator field and of the rotor field are mutually reduced. In particular, the skew can be chosen as a function of the pole gap, such that the majority of the respective oscillating torques is neutralized. This results in minimal torque ripple.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100133940
    Abstract: A three-phase dynamoelectrical permanently excited synchronous machine includes a stator with teeth which point to a rotor, wherein twelve slots are formed between the teeth. The slots have coil sides of coils of a winding system in such a manner that two coil sides of different coils are situated in each slot. The rotor has a cylindrical support structure which is provided with permanent magnets defined by an inner radius which corresponds to a radius of the support structure, and by an outer radius which is smaller than their inner radius. The permanent magnets are formed with ten magnet poles when viewed in a circumferential direction.
