The axial segmented claw pole motor has the advantages of high torque density, simple structure, low manufacturing cost and material saving. A 1.5 kW, 9 000 r/min axial segmented claw pole motor is designed. The electromagnetic design and temperature distribution of the motor are analyzed to verify the rationality of the design. For the selection of claw pole parameters, the effects of claw pole angle and claw tip length on motor torque, torque ripple and no-load electromotive force are studied, and a suitable selection range is given. The analysis results provide a reference for the development of new products of the new vacuum dry pump drive motor.
