Design and analysis of a magnetically levitated axial flux BLDC motor for a ventricular assist device (VAD)

Authors: AHMET FENERCİOĞLU

Abstract: penetration of magnetic field into blood. Magnetic parameters, axial pull force, and torque of the proposed motor have been analyzed by the 3-dimensional finite elements method (3D-FEM) to confirm the motor design. Solutions are compared with maglev and non-maglev designs.

Keywords: Axial flux BLDC motor design, maglev bearing, VAD motors
