Abstract

To design actuators or motors requires analyzing a lot of parameters such as length, temperature, efficiency, weight, etc. To obtain the optimum results for given specifications the solution is to analyze globally all the free parameters in one go, with an optimization algorithm based on the "Prodesign" software which includes an optimization module developed by INPG in Grenoble (France). A comparison between the parametrical study and the finite element design is made with two different examples. The first one is a reluctance actuator and the second one is a brushless DC motor intended for a new intra-cardiac blood pump

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Brushless DC electric motor

A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows. The controller adjusts the phase and amplitude of the DC current pulses to control the speed and torque of the motor.

DC motor

A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor. DC motors were the first form of motors widely used, as they could be powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems.
