“…High-speed (HS) machines, as compared with conventional machines, provide higher power and torque density with improved overall system efficiency [1]. Due to these advantages, HS machines constitute a superior solution in several application areas, such as such as medical appliances, energy systems, and high-end machining tools [2,3]. In such systems, the direct drive solution permits the elimination of mechanical transmission, thus reducing the drive system weight while increasing its reliability [4,5].…”
