In this paper, a claw-pole magnetic levitation torque motor (CPMLTM) utilizing cogging torque is proposed as an electromechanical converter (EMC) for two-dimensional valves (2D valve). Compared to the existing torque motor, CPMLTM utilizes the cogging torque between the stator and the rotor, and has the ability of automatic neutral adjustment, which greatly reduces the difficulty of neutral adjustment of two-dimensional valves and improves the accuracy of neutral adjustment. First, the structure and working principle of CPMLTM are introduced, followed by an analysis of the cogging torque of CPMLTM based on the energy method and Fourier expansion. The effects of the claw pole tooth (CPT) shape and slot opening coefficient on the cogging torque of CPMLTM are investigated. To analyze the sensitivity of the electromagnetic torque to each design parameter, a qualitative expression for the electromagnetic torque containing various design parameters was derived based on the equivalent magnetic circuit method, and a set of orthogonal tests were designed to calculate the electromagnetic torque using the finite element method (FEM). To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed CPMLTM principle and to verify the correctness of the cogging torque analysis model and FEM, a prototype was fabricated and a test rig was constructed for experimental study. The experiments show that CPMLTM can indeed utilize cogging torque to achieve automatic neutral adjustment, and that the neutral adjustment is more accurate. Moreover, the CPMLTM has good static and dynamic characteristics: a neutral electromagnetic torque of 0.1 Nm at a coil magnetomotive force (MMF) of 100 A, step response time up to 4.575 ms, and amplitude frequency bandwidth and phase frequency bandwidth of 173.7 Hz and 86.5 Hz, respectively.
