Although axial-flux permanent magnet machines have high torque densities, challenges regarding mass production of stators make them a less appealing choice. Printed circuit board (PCB) axial-flux machine is a type of machine with a stator that is made of layers of PCB. Given the precise, fast, and cheap mass production capabilities of PCB manufacturers, PCB axial-flux machines stand as a viable alternative for conventional round-wire winding machines. In this study, five different winding topologies are compared. Their induced phase voltages and torque are calculated using the developed magnetic scalar potential method and finite element analysis (FEA). Proposed windings are tested on a 16-pole, 2000-RPM, double rotor-single stator axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous machine. Results showed that the parallel winding had the smallest resistance and loss. Moreover, radial and concentric winding had the highest induced voltage and torque while the radial winding had 20% less phase resistance than concentric. Also, the induced voltage of radial winding had the smallest total harmonic distortion in comparison with other winding types. A novel unequal width parallel winding is proposed and it is compared with parallel winding separately. It is found that by simply increasing the cross-section area of wave windings, it is possible to decrease copper loss by 17%.

ANALYTICAL MODELLING AND MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF AXIAL-FLUX PERMANENT MAGNET MACHINE WITH VARIOUS PCB STATORS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A GAN SWITCHED INTEGRATED MOTOR DRIVE PCB MOTOR Tokgöz, Furkan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-27) The axial-flux machines have been gaining popularity thanks to their higher torque density and short axial length compared to radial-flux machines. However, they are not easy to mass manufacture because of their thin form factor. Printed circuit board (PCB) technology offers a solution to the problem by utilizing the highly developed, precise, and consistent PCB manufacturing process. However, having a low copper fill factor and low inductance are the main disadvantages of the PCB motors. This thesis focuse...
Dynamic modeling of high precision servo systems with gear backlash Yumrukçal, Zafer; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Although the mechanical solutions, like spring preloaded hinge mechanism, compensate for backlash in servo drive systems with high precision positioning requirement, these solutions may not be preferred because of their drawbacks like high friction forces/torques and diminished life cycles for mating gears. Besides, the use regular gear meshes could be enforced by any reason, like cost efficiency or simplicity of the solution. On such occasions, to maintain performance requirements like high positioning acc...
Practical approach to optimum design of steel tubular slip-joint power transmission poles Dicleli, Murat (2003-01-01) Steel tubular poles are employed in large numbers when used for power transmission and consequently their most economical design is desirable. The pole weight affects the overall cost of a system of steel tubular pole structures considering the cumulative effects of material, manufacturing, transportation and erection costs. Therefore, an optimal design may be achieved by designing the lightest possible slip-joint pole which fulfills the geometric and limit states criteria under specified loading conditions...
Measurement of brushless dc motor characteristics and parameters and brushless dc motor design Şahin, İlker; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The permanent magnet motors have become essential parts of modern motor drives recently because need for high efficiency and accurate dynamic performance arose in the industry. Some of the advantages they possess over other types of electric motors include higher torque density, higher efficiency due to absence of losses caused by field excitation, almost unity power factor, and almost maintenance free construction. With increasing need for specialized PM motors for different purposes and areas, much effort...
Dynamic analysis, design and practical applications of an overconstrained mechanical force generator Erdinç, Umur; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) In this thesis, dynamical characteristics of existing machines are improved by coupling mechanical force generators to the machine. In short, mechanical force generators (MFG) are energy efficient, overconstrained, shaking force and shaking moment free planar mechanisms which can be used to generate a desired periodic force profile; store excess energy and release it when needed. They can reduce the energy consumption of an existing machine, or optimize other dynamical characteristics of a machine. In chapt...
