PMSM permanent magnet synchronous motor
● 1、Overview
Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a synchronous motor that uses permanent magnets as excitation sources. Its main feature is that its excitation system directly uses the magnetic field generated by permanent magnets without external excitation, thereby improving the energy utilization rate and response speed of the motor. The magnetic field distribution of PMSM motors is closely related to the arrangement of rotor poles. Usually, surface pole structures or built-in permanent magnets are used to achieve efficient magnetic field control and synchronous movement of the rotor and magnetic field.
In the design and control of PMSM motors, commonly used technologies include field oriented control (FOC) and vector control (VC). These control strategies can achieve precise control of motor torque, speed and position, while improving the efficiency and dynamic performance of the motor.
Due to the advantages of high efficiency, high performance, low noise and high reliability, permanent magnet synchronous motors are widely used in industrial production, transportation, aerospace, new energy and other fields. In electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, PMSM motors are used as drive motors to achieve high-efficiency energy conversion, extend battery life, and improve vehicle driving performance and comfort.
In short, PMSM motors have become one of the important technologies in the field of motors today with their excellent performance and wide application fields, and have made important contributions to achieving efficient energy utilization and environmental protection.

product structure
(1) Stator:
The stator core is made of high-permeability silicon steel sheets stacked together to form multiple slots for stator windings. The stacked design of silicon steel sheets helps reduce iron loss and improve efficiency.
Stator winding: Usually a three-phase symmetrical winding is used, embedded in the slots of the stator core. When the stator winding is energized, it generates a rotating magnetic field, which interacts with the rotor magnetic field to drive the rotor to rotate. The winding generally uses copper wire with a high insulation grade to improve the durability and performance of the motor.
(2) Rotor:
Permanent magnet: It is embedded in the rotor core and is usually made of high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials (such as neodymium iron boron) to provide a strong magnetic field. Permanent magnets can be surface mounted (SPM) or internally mounted (IPM) structures.
The rotor core is made of stacked silicon steel sheets, serving as a support structure for the permanent magnets and also providing a magnetic path. The design of the rotor core needs to consider the optimization of air gap magnetic permeability and electromagnetic performance.
(3) Shaft:
It connects the rotor and transmits mechanical energy. It is the supporting part of the rotor movement. The shaft is usually made of high-strength alloy steel to ensure mechanical strength and durability.
(4) Bearings:
It supports the rotating part of the motor and ensures the smooth rotation of the rotor. Bearings are usually rolling bearings or sliding bearings. The appropriate type is selected according to the application scenario and motor specifications.
