Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 物理學系 === 85 === Both efficiency and cogging torque in a spindle motor has been studied by varying the magnetization profiles of the rotor and the geometry shape of the teeth of the stator. The torque between the rotor and stator of a spindle motor is sensitive to the number of magnetic poles, the magnetization profiles, the magnetic field strength of magnets, and the geometry shape of the teeth etc.. The cogging torque is a fundamental phenomenon occurred between the stator and the magnetic rotor of a spindle motor and is an obstruction in realizing constant speed control or high accuracy of position control. In this study, we reported the results of both experimental and theoretical calculation about the optimal design of reducting the cogging torque, but, still keeping almost the same torque constant. The magnetization profiles can affect the torque of magnetic coupling markedly. According to our MagNet52 finite element analysis, radial magnetization profile offers a much better torque constant. After smoothing the edge of the teeth of the stator, we can reduce the cogging torque tremendously. The mechanism of this reduction was explained by minimum net integral of the product of normal and tangential magnetic flux density with respect to the mechanical angle between the stator and magnetic rotor of a spindle motor. Finally, our experimental data are in good consistent with the theoretical calculation.Details will be discussed.
