A system for manufacturing a rotor for a permanent magnet (PM) motor is provided. The system includes a mold configured to receive a rotor body including a plurality of rotor teeth and defining one or more rotor cavities and a plurality of electromagnetic coils including a plurality of magnetic cores, each of the plurality of magnetic cores configured to align with a respective one of the plurality of rotor teeth, and a plurality of electromagnetic windings. The system further includes a controller configured to, after the rotor body is positioned within the mold, close the mold, after closing the mold, excite the plurality of electromagnetic coils, inject a magnetic material into the one or more rotor cavities, wherein the excited electromagnetic coils align the magnetic material into a desired magnetic orientation prior to solidification of the magnetic material, de-energize the plurality of electromagnetic coils.
A system for manufacturing a rotor for a permanent magnet (PM) motor, the system comprising:
A method for manufacturing a rotor for a permanent magnet (PM) motor using a system including a mold configured to receive a rotor body including a plurality of rotor teeth and defining one or more rotor cavities and a plurality of electromagnetic coils including a plurality of magnetic cores, each of the plurality of magnetic cores configured to align with a respective one of the plurality of rotor teeth, and a plurality of electromagnetic windings, wherein each of the electromagnetic windings is wound about at least one of the plurality of magnetic cores, the method comprising:
A controller for manufacturing a rotor for a permanent magnet (PM) motor, the controller in communication with a mold configured to receive a rotor body including a plurality of rotor teeth and defining one or more rotor cavities and a plurality of electromagnetic coils including a plurality of magnetic cores, each of the plurality of magnetic cores configured to align with a respective one of the plurality of rotor teeth, and a plurality of electromagnetic windings, wherein each of the electromagnetic windings is wound about at least one of the plurality of magnetic cores, the controller configured to:
