Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) brushless machines are modern electrical machines with a lot of advantages over their conventional counterparts. They are being increasingly used in consumer electronics, public life, instrumentation and automation system, clinical engineering, industrial electromechanical drives, automobile manufacturing industry, electric and hybrid electric vehicles, marine vessels and toys. They are also used in more electric aircrafts and many other applications on larger scale. New applications have also emerged in distributed generation systems (wind turbine generators, high-speed micro turbine generators), miniature power supplies, flywheel energy storages, aircraft and rotorcraft actuators, missile fin actuators, naval integrated motor-propellers (rim driven thrusters). The role of axial flux PM brushless machines is increasing especially in applications where integration of motors with other mechanical parts is imperative. Already in its second revised and updated edition, this book has proven its timeliness and value among a wide readership. The added CD-ROM will be especially useful INDICE: From the contents Introduction. 2 Principles of AFPM Machines. 3 Materials and Fabrication. 4 AFPM Machines With Iron Cores. 5 AFPM Machines Without Stator Cores. 6 AFPM Machines Without Stator and Rotor Cores. 7 Control. 8 Cooling and Heat Transfer. 9 Applications.
