Simplified Design Methodology for a Slotless Brushless DC Motor

The paper presents a simplified analytical method to design a small two-pole slotless brushless dc motor. Using only a few approximations, the motor analytical model is formulated to generate a system of equations. The system can be solved analytically, producing a motor design for given specifications. The method is used to design a motor with the specifications 150 W, 10'000 rpm, and 18 V.
