Cylindrical radial gap type motor structure

Abstract

Salient poles made from soft magnetic steel plates have tip sections of approximately the same length as a rotor magnet. The salient poles are constructed with laminations in the circumferential direction, with axial dimensions adjusted with respect to the circumferential dimensions determined by the constraints of the winding to allow winding sections with a minimum required cross-sectional area so that magnetic saturation does not occur. These winding sections are inserted into coils wound with magnet wire, and press fitted into the stator which makes the magnetic circuit with the salient poles and forms the armature.
