Low Speed Direct Drive Rare Earth Permanent Magnet PMSM Electric Motor
What Is The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor?
A PM motor is an ac motor that uses magnets embedded into or attached to the surface of the motor’s rotor. The magnets are used to generate a constant motor flux instead of requiring the stator field to generate one by linking to the rotor, as is the case with an induction motor. A fourth motor known as a line-start PM (LSPM) motor incorporates characteristics of both motors. An LSPM motor incorporates a PM motor’s magnets within the rotor and a squirrel cage motor’s rotor bars to maximize torque and efficiency.
Analysis of the principle of the technical advantages of permanent magnet motor
The principle of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is as follows: In the motor's stator winding into the three-phase current, after the pass-in current, it will form a rotating magnetic field for the motor's stator winding. Because the rotor is installed with the permanent magnet, the permanent magnet's magnetic pole is fixed, according to the principle of magnetic poles of the same phase attracting different repulsion, the rotating magnetic field generated in the stator will drive the rotor to rotate, The rotation speed of the rotor is equal to the speed of the rotating pole produced in the stator.
Due to the use of permanent magnets to provide magnetic fields, the rotor process is mature, reliable, and flexible in size, and the design capacity can be as small as tens of watts, up to megawatts. At the same time, by increasing or decreasing the number of pairs of rotor permanent magnets, it is easier to change the number of poles of the motor, which makes the speed range of permanent magnet synchronous motors wider. With multi-pole permanent magnet rotors, the rated speed can be as low as a single digit, which is difficult to achieve by ordinary asynchronous motors.
Especially in the low-speed high-power application environment, the permanent magnet synchronous motor can be directly driven by a multi-pole design at low speed, compared with an ordinary motor plus reducer, the advantages of a permanent magnet synchronous motor can be highlighted.
PM Motor Structure
PM motor structures can be separated into two categories: interior and surface. Each category has its subset of categories. A surface PM motor can have its magnets on or inset into the surface of the rotor, to increase the robustness of the design. An interior permanent magnet motor positioning and design can vary widely. The IPM motor’s magnets can be inset as a large block or staggered as they come closer to the core. Another method is to have them embedded in a spoke pattern.
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.
Differences Between The Permanent Magnet Motor And Asynchronous Motor:
01. Rotor Structure
Asynchronous motor: The rotor consists of an iron core and a winding, mainly squirrel-cage and wire-wound rotors. A squirrel-cage rotor is cast with aluminum bars. The magnetic field of the aluminum bar cutting the stator drives the rotor.
PMSM Motor: The permanent magnets are embedded in the rotor magnetic poles, and are driven to rotate by the rotating magnetic field generated in the stator according to the principle of magnetic poles of the same phase attracting different repulsions.
02. Efficiency
Asynchronous motors: Need to absorb current from the grid excitation, resulting in a certain amount of energy loss, motor reactive current, and low power factor.
PMSM Motor: The magnetic field is provided by permanent magnets, the rotor does not need exciting current, and the motor efficiency is improved.
03. Volume And Weight
The use of high-performance permanent magnet materials makes the air gap magnetic field of permanent magnet synchronous motors larger than that of asynchronous motors. The size and weight are reduced compared to asynchronous motors. It will be one or two frame sizes lower than asynchronous motors.
04. Motor Starting Current
Asynchronous motor: It is directly started by power frequency electricity, and the starting current is large, which can reach 5 to 7 times the rated current, which has a great impact on the power grid in an instant. The large starting current causes the leakage resistance voltage drop of the stator winding to increase, and the starting torque is small so heavy-duty starting cannot be achieved. Even if the inverter is used, it can only start within the rated output current range.
PMSM Motor: It is driven by a dedicated controller, which lacks the rated output requirements of the reducer. The actual starting current is small, the current is gradually increased according to the load, and the starting torque is large.
05. Power Factor
Asynchronous motors have a low power factor, they must absorb a large amount of reactive current from the power grid, the large starting current of asynchronous motors will cause a short-term impact on the power grid, and long-term use will cause certain damage to the power grid equipment and transformers. It is necessary to add power compensation units and perform reactive power compensation to ensure the quality of the power grid and increase the cost of equipment use.
There is no induced current in the rotor of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the power factor of the motor is high, which improves the quality factor of the power grid and eliminates the need to install a compensator.
06. Maintenance
Asynchronous motor + reducer structure will generate vibration, heat, high failure rate, large lubricant consumption, and high manual maintenance cost; it will cause certain downtime losses.
The three-phase Permanent magnet synchronous motor drives the equipment directly. Because the reducer is eliminated, the motor output speed is low, mechanical noise is low, mechanical vibration is small, and the failure rate is low. The entire drive system is almost maintenance-free.

Features Of Rare-Earth Permanent Magnet Motors
The rotor pole of the rare earth permanent magnet motor is composed of rare earth permanent magnet steel, so there is no slip, no excitation current, and the rotor has no fundamental wave iron and copper wear.
The rotor is excited by permanent magnets, and no reactive excitation current is needed. Therefore, the power factor is improved, the reactive power is reduced, the stator current is greatly reduced, and the stator copper and iron losses are greatly reduced.
At the same time, because the polar arc coefficient of the rare earth permanent magnet motor is larger than that of the asynchronous motor when the voltage and the stator structure are constant, the average magnetic induction intensity of the motor is smaller than that of the asynchronous motor and the iron loss is small.
Therefore, it can be said that the rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motor is energy-saving by reducing its own losses, and is not affected by changes in operating conditions, environment, and other factors.
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.
