Abstract: For a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor supported by air foil bearings, analyzing the influence of the electromagnetic torque on the strength of the combination rotor was necessary. In this study, the electromagnetic torque was obtained using the analytical calculation and the finite element simulation. The contact interface stress analytical equation affected by the electromagnetic torque was elaborated. A three-dimensional finite element model simulating the combination rotor was constructed, and the stress calculations were performed. The strength of the combination rotor met the design requirement. It properly reflected the characteristics of the electromechanical analysis in the combination rotor. The operation experiments were realized to verify the electromagnetic performance and the strength of the combination rotor. The simulation and experimental results were significant for the electromechanical design and analysis of the combination rotor.
