Performance Analysis of Slotted and Slotless Brushless DC Motor for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

The development of technology should be an aid for human life to make it better. Hence, a wide variety of motors are used in biomedical applications. A common type of motor employed is a BLDC motor. The BLDC can of slotless or slotted type. The slotless stator has a number of advantages such as reduced inductance and lower torque ripples. The response of the machine is also improved. A comparative study of the slotted and slotless armature is done here. The results ensure that the slotless design provides a better performance as compared to the slotted design.
