Abstract: An optimized structure to weaken the vibration and noise of a new asymmetric permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) is proposed. The new asymmetric PMaSynRM has the advantages of a low torque ripple and high fault tolerance. However, the asymmetric structure generates an unbalanced magnetic force (UMF), which results in vibration and noise problems. In this study, the vibration and noise of the motor are analyzed and optimized. First, the radial pressure is analyzed, and an optimized structure is proposed. The electromagnetic performance of the motor before and after optimization is analyzed using the finite element method. Second, a three-dimensional model is established, and modal analysis is conducted considering the orthotropy of the stator and effective windings. Finally, the vibration and noise are simulated and analyzed, and the validity of the analysis results is verified experimentally. The analysis results indicate that the optimized motor realizes a reduction in the motor vibration and noise.
