| Zusammenfassung: | An electric motor having reduced cogging torque. Motors have stator teeth separated by a slot, or space, which is filled with air and/or copper. The magnetic field present in the space is reduced, compared to that present in the iron cores. Thus, when the rotor rotates, it sees a changing magnetic field as it passes a tooth face, then a slot, and then a neighboring tooth face. This change can produce a force or cogging torque in the motor. The invention changes the geometry of the tooth face and slot to reduce variation of reluctance and increase overall flux of the stator. |
