This article introduces the operating principle and structural characteristics of the electromechanical integrated toroidal drive system. For its inner and outer toroidal double-stator structure, the equivalent current method is applied to calculate its spatial magnetic field, which is produced by the sector cylindrical magnetic teeth and the helical variable cross-section magnetic beam. For the application of the equivalent current method in the modeling of the magnetic field, an effective correction method is proposed. The flux density calculation models for the main magnetic field in the inner and outer air gaps are established under the unified coordinate system, and the analytical expression of magnetic field distribution in spatial air gap is deduced. Finally, the feasibility of the mathematical analytical model is verified by comparing the analytical calculation results with the finite element simulation results. The influences of the main structural parameters on the distribution of the air gap magnetic field and the torque are analyzed, which lay a theoretical foundation for the optimal design of the electromechanical integrated toroidal drive system.

Purpose This paper aims to present an analytical method, which combines the complex permeance (CP) and the superposition concept, to predict the air-gap magnetic field distribution in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) machines with eccentric air-gap. Design/methodology/approach The superposition concept is used twice; first, to predict the magnetic field distribution in slot-less machine with eccentric air-gap, the machine is divided into a number of sections. Then, for each section, an equivalent air-gap length is determined, and the magnetic field distribution is predicted as a concentric machine model. The air-gap field in the slot-less machine with eccentricity can be combined from these concentric models. Second, the superposition concept is used to find the CP under eccentricity fault. At this end, the original machine is divided into a number of sections which may be different from the one for slot-less magnetic field prediction, and for each section, the CP is obtained by equivalent air-gap length of that section. Finally, the air-gap magnetic field distribution is predicted by multiplying the slot-less magnetic field distribution and the obtained CP. Findings The radial and tangential components of the air-gap magnetic flux density are obtained using the proposed method analytically. The finite element analysis is used to validate the proposed method results, showing good agreements with the analytical results. Originality/value This paper addresses the eccentricity fault impact upon the air-gap magnetic field distribution of SMPM machines. This is done by a combined analysis of the complex permeance (CP) method and the superposition concept. This contrasts to previous studies which have instead focused on the subdomain method.
