IP65 Water Cooled Permanent Magnet Gearless Energy Saving Motor Manufacturer

The defining feature of PMACMs – the permanent magnets within their rotor – are acted upon by the rotating magnetic field (RMF) of the stator windings, and are repelled into rotational motion. This is a deviation from other rotors, where the magnetic force must be induced or generated in the rotor housing, requiring more current. This means that PMACMs are generally more efficient than induction motors, as the rotor’s magnetic field is permanent and does not need a source of power to be used for its generation. This also means that they require a variable frequency drive (VFD, or PM drive) to operate, which is a control system that smooths out the torque produced by these motors. By switching the current on and off to the stator windings at certain stages of rotor rotation, the PM drive simultaneously controls torque and current and uses this data to calculate rotor position, and therefore the speed of the shaft output. They are synchronous machines, as their rotational speed matches the speed of the RMF. These machines are relatively new and are still being optimized, so the specific operation of any one PMACM is, for now, essentially unique to each design.

Why choose permanent magnet ac motors?

Permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motors offer several advantages over other types of motors, including:

High Efficiency: PMAC motors are highly efficient due to the absence of rotor copper losses and reduced winding losses. They can achieve efficiencies of up to 97%, resulting in significant energy savings.

High Power Density: PMAC motors have a higher power density compared to other motor types, which means they can produce more power per unit of size and weight. This makes them ideal for applications where space is limited.

High Torque Density: PMAC motors have a high torque density, which means they can produce more torque per unit of size and weight. This makes them ideal for applications where high torque is required.

Reduced Maintenance: Since PMAC motors have no brushes, they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan than other motor types.

Improved Control: PMAC motors have better speed and torque control compared to other motor types, making them ideal for applications where precise control is required.

Environmentally Friendly: PMAC motors are more environmentally friendly than other motor types since they use rare earth metals, which are easier to recycle and produce less waste compared to other motor types.

Overall, the advantages of PMAC motors make them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and renewable energy systems.

Permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motors have a wide range of applications including:

SPM versus IPM

A PM motor can be separated into two main categories: surface permanent magnet motors (SPM) and interior permanent magnet motors (IPM). Neither motor design type contains rotor bars. Both types generate magnetic flux by the permanent magnets affixed to or inside of the rotor.

SPM motors have magnets affixed to the exterior of the rotor surface. Because of this mechanical mounting, their mechanical strength is weaker than that of IPM motors. The weakened mechanical strength limits the motor’s maximum safe mechanical speed. In addition, these motors exhibit very limited magnetic saliency (Ld ≈ Lq).

Inductance values measured at the rotor terminals are consistent regardless of the rotor position. Because of the near unity saliency ratio, SPM motor designs rely significantly, if not completely, on the magnetic torque component to produce torque.

IPM motors have a permanent magnet embedded into the rotor itself. Unlike their SPM counterparts, the location of the permanent magnets makes IPM motors very mechanically sound, and suitable for operating at very high speeds. These motors also are defined by their relatively high magnetic saliency ratio (Lq > Ld). Due to their magnetic saliency, an IPM motor has the ability to generate torque by taking advantage of both the magnetic and reluctance torque components of the motor.

Self-sensing versus closed-loop operation

Recent advances in drive technology allow standard ac drives to “self-detect” and track the motor magnet position. A closed-loop system typically uses the z-pulse channel to optimize performance. Through certain routines, the drive knows the exact position of the motor magnet by tracking the A/B channels and correcting for errors with the z-channel. Knowing the exact position of the magnet allows for optimum torque production resulting in optimum efficiency.

Flux weakening/intensifying of PM motors

Flux in a permanent magnet motor is generated by the magnets. The flux field follows a certain path, which can be boosted or opposed. Boosting or intensifying the flux field will allow the motor to temporarily increase torque production. Opposing the flux field will negate the existing magnet field of the motor. The reduced magnet field will limit torque production, but reduce the back-emf voltage. The reduced back-emf voltage frees up the voltage to push the motor to operate at higher output speeds. Both types of operation require additional motor current. The direction of the motor current across the d-axis, provided by the motor controller, determines the desired effect.

Steps and Precautions For Installing Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor:

1. Preparation before installation

Check the supporting equipment of the permanent magnet synchronous motor: such as the machine base, the bottom bolts of the machine base, the gearbox, etc.

Check the mechanical and electrical connections of the permanent magnet synchronous motor to ensure that all fittings and connectors are within specification.

Check the transportation of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and its supporting equipment for damage or deformation.

2. Install the permanent magnet synchronous motor and its supporting equipment

Install the machine base: place the machine base on the installation foundation and fix it with the bolts at the bottom of the machine base. Make sure the base is installed flat and on the same level.

Install the gearbox: Install the gearbox on the machine base and fix it with the matching bolts and pins between the gearbox and the machine base.

Install the permanent magnet synchronous motor: install the permanent magnet synchronous motor on the gearbox, and match the motor shaft with the reducer input shaft.

3. Matters needing attention

The standard installation position of the permanent magnet synchronous motor should be installed horizontally to reduce unnecessary vibration effects.

During the installation process, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of the motor to avoid damage to the motor such as collision and wear.

When installing the gearbox, it is necessary to pay attention to the matching of the gearbox and the permanent magnet synchronous motor to ensure the consistency of the speed and transmission efficiency.

When installing the frame and gearbox according to the installation position and angle of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, it is necessary to strictly follow the manufacturer's requirements to ensure that they are on the same level.

In the process of installing the permanent magnet synchronous motor, it is necessary to pay attention to tightening the connecting bolts to avoid falling off or loosening during operation.
