It arises from the rotor permanent magnet flux density[1]-[4]. magnet interacting with the steel teeth on the sta- The objective of this paper is to present the com- tor.

The tor. These methods can be categorized according to air-gap length adjustment, slot opening, number of three parts of motor structure, i.e., air gap length, slots/pole, magnet flux-density and dummy stator rotor and stator parts.
