Comparison of Homopolar and Heteropolar Bearingless Reluctance Slice Motor Prototypes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article focuses on the operational behaviours of two novel bearingless reluctance slice motor prototypes. After a brief introduction of the two systems, we present our experience with both bearingless drives. On this basis, commonalities and differences in terms of construction, geometric constraints, winding systems, force-to-torque ratio, power electronic utilization and efficiency are outlined in order to demonstrate the suitability of the reluctance slice motor concepts for industrial applications.
