This paper describes important design considerations for a bearingless brushless motor (permanent magnet synchronous motor, PMSM) in exterior rotor construction. In order to come up with a compact energy-dense setup which can provide both bearing forces and high torque, several parameters have to be accounted for while considering mutual dependences. Moreover, the magnetic bearing and the drive are interlinked for this disk-shaped bearingless motor (with combined concentrated windings). A detailed analysis about the design of the stator teeth has been undertaken, and the influence on torque and active and passive radial forces has been investigated.
