The influence of stator pressure ring design on motor

As the core driving force of modern industry, the performance of motor is directly related to the efficiency and stability of the whole production system. As a key component in the motor structure, the design optimization and material selection of motor stator pressure ring play a crucial role in improving the performance of the motor.

Importance of design optimization

The main function of the motor stator pressure ring is to fix the stator core and ensure its stability and accuracy during the operation of the motor. Therefore, the primary goal of design optimization is to improve the stability and accuracy of the pressure ring.

In terms of structural design, the amount of interference fit between the inner diameter of the stator pressure ring and the outer diameter of the stator core needs to be precisely calculated and controlled. The size of this fit directly affects the stress distribution of the core laminations and the efficiency of magnetic flux transfer. Too large an interference fit may result in excessive pressure on the core laminations, resulting in deformation and affecting the magnetic properties and mechanical stability of the motor. On the contrary, too small an interference fit may result in the pressure ring not being able to effectively fix the iron core, leading to vibration and noise during operation of the motor.

In addition, the heat dissipation performance of the stator pressure ring is also an important factor to be considered in the design optimization. For high-power motors, the stator pressure ring generates a large amount of heat during motor operation. If the heat can not be emitted in time, it will lead to an increase in motor temperature, which will affect the efficiency and stability of the motor. Therefore, in the design of the stator pressure ring, it is necessary to give full consideration to the improvement of heat dissipation performance, such as by increasing the structure of heat dissipation fins and other ways to increase the heat dissipation area and optimize the effect of convection heat transfer.

In terms of vibration and noise suppression, the design of the stator pressure ring also plays a key role. The vibration and noise generated during the operation of the motor not only affect the stability of the motor, but also may cause interference to the surrounding environment. Therefore, in the design of the stator pressure ring, it is necessary to effectively inhibit the propagation of vibration and noise by setting damping grooves and other means.

Criticality of material selection

In addition to design optimization, material selection also has an important impact on the performance of the motor stator pressure ring. Different materials have different physical and chemical properties, which have a direct impact on the efficiency, stability and service life of the motor.

First, the stator pressure ring material needs to have high strength and high permeability. This is because the stator pressure ring needs to withstand a variety of mechanical loads during the operation of the motor, and also needs to ensure the effective transmission of magnetic flux in the stator core. Therefore, when selecting materials, it is necessary to give full consideration to its strength and permeability. For example, cold rolled silicon steel sheet has become the mainstream choice because of its low hysteresis loss characteristics, and its thickness specification is mostly 0.35mm or 0.5mm. for high speed motors, amorphous alloy materials can be used to reduce eddy current loss and improve power density.

Secondly, the stator pressure ring material also needs to have good high temperature resistance. The motor will generate a lot of heat during operation, if the material can not withstand the high temperature environment, will lead to motor performance degradation or even damage. Therefore, in the selection of materials, need to fully consider its high temperature resistance. When the operating temperature exceeds a certain range, the need to use high-temperature resistant stainless steel materials, such as SUS430 stainless steel, and its coefficient of thermal expansion needs to be matched with the stator core to ensure structural stability in high-temperature environments.

In addition, in special working conditions, such as chemical explosion-proof environment, the stator pressure ring material also needs to have good corrosion resistance and explosion-proof performance. This is because motors in these environments need to withstand the erosion of corrosive gases or liquids and the threat of explosive gases. Therefore, in the selection of materials, need to fully consider its corrosion resistance and explosion-proof performance. For example, Monel alloys are ideal for such environments because of their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength.
