Permanent magnet motors (PMMs) generate torque through the interaction of stator current with permanent magnets on or within the rotor. It is common for small, low-power motors to be used for surface rotor magnets in IT equipment, business machines, and automotive auxiliary equipment. Internal magnets (IPMs) are common in large machines such as electric vehicles and industrial motors.
In PM motors, the stator may use concentrated (short pitch) windings if torque ripple is not a concern, but distributed windings are common in larger PM motors. Since permanent magnet motors do not have a mechanical commutator, the inverter is essential to control the winding current. Unlike other types of brushless motors, permanent magnet motors do not require current to support their magnetic field. So, if small or light, permanent magnet motors provide the most torque and are probably the best choice. No magnetizing current also means higher efficiency at load at the "sweet spot" - i.e. where the motor performs best.
Furthermore, while permanent magnets bring a performance advantage at low speeds, they are also a technical Achilles' heel. For example, as the speed of a permanent magnet motor increases, the back EMF approaches the inverter supply voltage, making it impossible to control the winding current. This defines the base speed of a general permanent magnet motor, and in surface magnet designs typically represents the maximum possible speed for a given supply voltage.
At speeds greater than base speed, the IPM uses active field weakening, in which the stator current is manipulated to deliberately depress the magnetic flux. The range of speeds that can be reliably implemented is limited to around 4:1. As before, this limit can be achieved by reducing the number of windings turns and accepting greater cost and power loss in the inverter.
The need for field weakening is speed dependent and has associated losses regardless of torque. This reduces efficiency at high speeds, especially at light loads.
Other disadvantages include the fact that it is difficult to manage under faulty conditions due to its inherent back EMF. Even if the frequency converter is disconnected, as long as the motor is spinning, current will continue to flow through the faulty winding, causing cogging torque and overheating, both dangerous. For example, field weakening at high speeds can lead to uncontrolled power generation due to drive shutdown, and the DC bus voltage of the inverter can rise to dangerous levels. Except for those permanent magnet motors that incorporate samarium cobalt magnets, operating temperature is another important limitation. And high motor currents due to inverter failure can cause demagnetization. Maximum speed is limited by mechanical magnet retention. If a permanent magnet motor is damaged, repairing it often requires a return to the factory because safely extracting and handling the rotor is difficult. Finally, recycling at end-of-life is cumbersome, although the current high value of rare earth materials may make such materials more economically viable.
Despite these shortcomings, permanent magnet motors remain unrivaled in low speed and efficiency, and they are useful in situations where size and weight are critical.

Introducing the TYPCX Series Tailor Made Permanent Magnet Motor from ENPMSM
The&#;permanent magnet synchronous motor&#;(PMSM) is an AC synchronous motor with a sinusoidal counter electromotive waveform with excitation provided by permanent magnets as the inductor. It contains the same rotor and stator as an induction motor, but uses permanent magnets as the rotor to generate the magnetic field, thus eliminating the need to wind excitation windings on the rotor. It is also known as a three-phase brushless permanent magnet sine wave motor. Permanent magnet synchronous motors are very efficient, brushless, very fast, safe and have high dynamic performance. Due to their advantages, permanent magnet synchronous
In industrial applications, permanent magnet synchronous motor is an important product. Because of the use of permanent magnet rotor, it also has the characteristics of high torque, small seat size, no rotor current and so on. Instead of using windings, the rotor insta permanent magnet to motors have a variety of applications and are used in several fields.

generate a rotating magnetic field. As there is no supply of DC source, these types of motors are very simple and less cost. The permanent magnets enable the PMSM to generate torque at zero speed. This motor delivers high-efficiency operations and requires a digitally controlled inverter.
This motor haslow torque ripple so it can generate constant torque. Also its ability to maintain full torque at low speeds.
It&#;s a rotor magnet made by using a permanent magnet so this motor hashigh efficiency. Because its rotor hasn&#;t any coil so heat generation is less.
The smaller size and less coil make ahigh power density. So it makes high speed at a low noise level. The heat transfer is also better, and the cooling system is simple.
The Permanent magnet synchronous motor has not any brushes soit&#;s easy to install and has a low maintenance cost.
It has only stator winding and no brushes so its heat generation is lowcompared with brush motor.
It may offer asmaller size for more compact mechanical packages. So permanent magnet motor highly useful for industrial tasks.
Don&#;t need an extra DC power source for it. The AC supply is provided on the stator and the permanent magnets are on the rotor.
Its rotor has constant magnetic but it needs the variable magnetic field so these motors want to variable frequency power source to start. Permanent magnet synchronous motors require a drive to operate it cannot run without a driver.
Basically two methods of controlling motors there are armature current controlling and field current controlling. But in this type of motors, we can change only stator current. There is only one source in this motor AC supply on stator so the only way to control the motor is by controlling the AC supply on the stator. This needs a complex control system including power electronics and microcontrollers.
Permanent magnet motor solutions tend to need a higher initial cost than AC induction motors somore difficult to start up than AC induction motors.
There is a risk of demagnetization of the poles which may be caused by a large armature current.Magnetic cab also occurs due to excessive heating and also when the motor is an overload for a long period of time.
Extra ampere Cannot be added to reduce the armature reaction.The magnetic field of the PMDC motor is preset at all times, even when the motor is not being used.
