Abstract  

Accurate calculation of air-gap magnetic field is the key to design and analyse the permanent magnet (PM) motors. The Halbach arrays PM motor has outstanding torque output performance. Rotor eccentricity will cause the noise, rotor loss and torque ripple, which will have adverse effects on the PM motors. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve and analyse the air-gap magnetic field of the Halbach arrays surface-mounted (HASM) PM motor with rotor eccentricity.
This paper combines the hyperbolic cotangent transformation and the relative permeance function, the air-gap magnetic field of the HASM PM motor with rotor eccentricity is analytically calculated. A two-dimensional model of the HASM PM motor with rotor eccentricity is established. As shown in Fig.A1, two groups of orthogonal circles representing the equipotential and magnetic force lines in the w plane are obtained by using the above transformation for the rotor eccentricity region in the z plane.
The hyperbolic cotangent transformation can be expressed as follows:
$z\text{=}\lambda \frac{{{\text{e}}^{w}}\text{+}1}{{{\text{e}}^{w}}-1}=\lambda \coth \frac{w}{2}$ (1)
where λ is a constant related to the rotor radius, the stator radius and the relative deviation distance between the stator and the rotor center.
The radial magnetic flux density of the eccentric magnetic field when the magnetic potential difference is 1 is calculated in the w plane, and the radial air-gap relative permeance function can be obtained. The radial air-gap relative permeance function fr can be expressed as
${{f}_{\text{r}}}=\frac{{{{{B}'}}_{\text{r }\!\!\_\!\!\text{ ecc}}}}{{{{{B}'}}_{\text{r }\!\!\_\!\!\text{ noecc}}}}$ (2)
where ${{{B}'}_{\text{r }\!\!\_\!\!\text{ ecc}}}$ is the radial magnetic flux density when the rotor is eccentric, and ${{{B}'}_{\text{r }\!\!\_\!\!\text{ noecc}}}$ is the radial magnetic flux density when the stator and the rotor are concentric.
The concentric analytical model is divided into three sub-regions: Halbach PMs, air-gap and slots. The Laplace equations and the Poisson equations are solved by using the boundary conditions of each region, and the air-gap magnetic field when the stator and the rotor are concentric is obtained by the vector magnetic potential.
By modifying the concentric air-gap magnetic field with the relative permeance function, the eccentric no-load air-gap magnetic field of the HASM PM motor is obtained.

When the ratio of the eccentricity is 0.2, the comparison between the analytical solutions and the finite element (FE) solutions of no-load air-gap magnetic field is shown in Fig.A2. Br and Bθ represent the radial and the tangential components of air-gap magnetic flux densities, respectively.

It can be seen that the analytical solutions are consistent with the FE solutions, which proves the effectiveness and the correctness of the proposed analytical model.
In addition, the air-gap magnetic flux densities, unbalanced magnetic forces and cogging torque at different eccentricities are calculated and compared with the FE solutions, and the regression evaluation indicators are used for evaluation. The analytical method is compared with the boundary perturbation method, which is verified that the analytical model is suitable for the eccentric air-gap magnetic field with large eccentricity. The proposed method can be used for the design and the optimization of the HASM PM motor with rotor eccentricity.
