Abstract

This paper presents the analytical model, feasibility assessment, and testing of a novel synchronous reluctance tubular machine, whose mover is manufactured using additive techniques. This approach enables the maximization of the machine’s saliency. The analytical model traditionally used for rotating machines was adapted to match the geometric characteristics of the innovative tubular design proposed in this work. The analytical results were validated through 2D finite element analysis (FEA). Subsequently, several mock-ups were 3D-printed using iron metal powder to evaluate the manufacturing feasibility of the proposed machine. Finally, the machine was tested to verify the accuracy of the analytical model.
