The three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) analysis is an extremely time-consuming task in the design and optimization of axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines. The aim of this article is to present a fast and accurate design model of slotless AFPM machines. Thanks to the separation of active- and end-winding parts, the overhang structure, which has widely been used in the air gap winding, can be handled by the proposed method. The winding eddy current loss, a primary source of losses in the air-core structure, is incorporated into the analytical model. In addition to the high accuracy, this approach makes it possible to evaluate machine performances only once without needing to rotate the rotor position. As a result, the proposed analytical model can significantly reduce the computational time, preferred in applying an optimization algorithm. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed method is verified by both FE and experimental results.
