This paper deals with the design of an interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor for power steering. Such an application requires an imperative fault-tolerant capability that is obtained by means of a redundant solution with two motors on the same shaft. A ball-screw system converts the rotating movement into the linear movement of the steering rack. In addition, the IPM motor has to exhibit very low braking torque after a short-circuit fault. Useful relationships between the maximum braking torque and the motor parameters are found and used in the design of the motor
Bianchi et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
