Disk motors are particularly suitable for electrical vehicles, robots, valve control, pumps, centrifuges, fans, machine tools and manufacturing. The brushless machine with axial flux and permanent magnets, also called the disc-type machine, is an interesting alternative to its cylindrical radial flux counterpart due to the disk shape, compact construction and high torque density. This paper describes a design of four phase microstepping motor with the disc type rotor. The FEM modeling and the 3D magneto-static simulation of the disk stepper motor with permanent magnets is being subject of the article, too. Disc rotor type permanent magnet stepper motor for high torque to inertia ratio is ideal for robotics and CNC machines.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Design and simulation of disk stepper motor with permanent magnets}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84794/PDF/08_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/aee-2013-0022}, keywords={Stepper motor, disk rotor, permanent magnet, magneto-static field simulation}, }
