Permasyn Motor

This document summarizes the key components of a PERMASYN system for use in submarines: (1) A sleeve bearing supports the heavy bell-shaped rotor on the left side of the shaft. (2) The bell-shaped rotor contains permanent magnets that could lose magnetic induction at high temperatures. (3) The stator core, housed in a water-cooled casing, interacts with the magnetic rotor. (4) Cooling of the permanent magnets is important to maintain performance, as heat reduces their remanence.

My understanding of PERMASYN [1] for submarine is as follows.

(1)Sleeve bearing aka sliding bearing (or journal joint)


This bearing is most commonly used for ship or automobile engine. Its feature is silence and low
friction.

(2)Bell-shaped rotor with permanent magnet


Magnet is fixed on metal (blue colored). Green part of rotor is fixed on shaft.

(3)Stator core
Stator is fixed on its housing. Stator core is water-cooled using two blue tubes.

(4)Shaft
Only left side of shaft supports heavy bell-shaped rotor, but, left end of shaft is supported by sleeve
bearing (1). Right end of shaft is supported by floating bearing (through lubricant oil?), because
weight distribution of rotor on the right side is small. To reduce peripheral velocity of floating bearing,
diameter of right side of shaft is smaller than that of left side.

(5)Integrated converter
Converter housing is fixed in stator housing. Converter and stator is connected by electritial wires
(omitted) through rectangular hole of converter housing. In this figure, water cooling is omitted. But, I
think inner cylindical surface (and circular surface) is water cooled to absorb heat from permanent
magnet.

On cooling of permanent magnet in ”(5) Integrated converter”.

Remanence [1] of permanent magnet decreases with increase in temperature [2] resulting in
reduction of magnetic induction which is measure of performance of permanent magnet. For example,
magnetic induction of Neodymium magnet at 80C is 90% at 100C, and reduced magnetic induction
does not recover at temperature above 80C. Then cooling of permanent magnet was assumed in the
previous comment.

By the way, China have successfully developed PMSM for submarine last year [3].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remanence
Remanence or remanent magnetization or residual magnetism is the magnetization left behind in a
ferromagnetic material (such as iron) after an external magnetic field is removed. It is also the
measure of that magnetization.

[2] http://www.shinetsu-rare-earth-magnet.jp/e/design/words/t_c_b.html
The thermal coefficient of remanence generally has a negative value and the smaller the absolute
value, the less the change of the remanence with temperature
