Abstract
A motor generating cogging torque has one-quarter the cycle of basic cogging torque and an extremely small absolute value. First, in order to reduce the cycle of the cogging torque to one-half the cycle of the basic cogging torque, a basic configuration of the core is determined by setting opening angles of its slots to an appropriate electrical angle ranging from 80° to 95° and from 20° to 35°. Next, to produce the above-mentioned effects, an angular displacement of one-quarter the cycle of the basic cogging torque is provided in the motor. Furthermore, polarizing the core with a skew angle equal to one-half or less the cycle of the basic cogging torque at the same time allows the cogging torque to be reduced effectively while decrease in efficiency is minimized.
