Purpose
Aims to study a new outer‐rotor permanent‐magnet brushless DC motor by means of the finite element method.
Design/methodology/approach
Two practical motor versions are considered for use in light traction at low speed. Special attention is devoted to cogging torque level, magnetic field and performance characteristics.
Findings
The various versions of the studied motor are dependent on the pole‐slot ratio.
Originality/value
The paper studies a new outer‐rotor permanent magnet brushless DC motor.
