Abstract

The use of direct-drive machines in renewable and industrial applications is increasing at a rapid rate. Transverse flux machines (TFMs) are ideally suited for direct-drive applications due to their high torque density. This article presents a comprehensive review of permanent magnet (PM) TFMs for direct-drive applications. It introduces TFMs and their operating principle and reviews the different types of TFMs proposed in the literature. TFMs are categorized by the number of stator sides, types of stator cores, and magnet arrangement in the rotor. The review covers different design topologies, materials used for manufacturing, structural and thermal analyses, modeling, design optimization, and cogging torque minimization in TFMs. The article also examines various applications and comparisons for TFMs presented in the literature.
