Abstract: This paper discusses the constants in various types Double Stator Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (DSPM BLDC). Hybrid or electrical vehicles requires fast response motor that are capable of reacting as soon as possible. Thus, the motor should have a faster time response with lower electrical time constant, Te and mechanical time constant, Tm. However, there are few literatures that reported the time response for a double stator topology. The time response relates to various constant parameters of the motor. It is known that double stator has high torque density which can be implemented for other applications in the future. For this research, various DSPM BLDC motors had been redeveloped. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to simulate the characteristics of DSPM BLDC motor that considered the presence of the analytically calculated Te and Tm. The results show that the Double Stator Slotted Rotor Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor (DSPM-SR) had good performance such as highest back emf, torque and good time response. A prototype of DSPM-SR had been manufactured and measured. The percentage differences between Analytical-FEM and Analytical-Mea for Te and Tm were 4.2% and 9.1%, respectively. As a conclusion, this paper reveals the constants that could affect the performance of double stator topology.
