Planar Aligned Transverse Flux Machine with Integrated Reduction Gear

Abstract

A transverse flux machine topology with a new kind of phase arrangement is presented. This on one hand eliminates the typical machine disadvantage of relatively long axial lengths and at the same time has the added benefit of an integrated speed reduction, to produce greater torque within a given volume, which is especially suitable for robotic applications. The presented concept does not require any fundamental changes to the electro-magnetic design of the motor phases.
