“…A unique semi-elliptical core is proposed in [9], in which both sides of each rotor pole are somewhat rounded instead of being straight lines. Rounded rotor pole tips are also presented as a design to reduce torque ripple in [10]. The inclusion of holes on the pole are also viable, as shown in [11][12][13][14][15], but this is usually done to reduce the noise and vibration.…”

The shift-by-wire (SBW) system in vehicles aims to increase performance, safety, and comfort during driving. Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are simple, resilient, and require only minimum maintenance; these factors make it a good option for use as an SBW actuator. Inherently, SRM generates a higher torque ripple than other AC machines, which can lead to a deterioration of its function. In this paper, a non-uniform air-gap rotor structure combined with the careful positioning of holes near the pole surface is proposed to reduce the torque ripple. The finite element method (FEM) is employed to analyze the electromagnetic characteristics of the design. The proposed motor is manufactured, and experiments are done to verify the performance. The design alone can reduce the torque ripple by 7% and flatten the torque waveform. The experimental result shows that the proposed motor can achieve the desired performance. The estimated torque ripple from the experiment is 26.65%.
