Abstract: Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (AFPMSM) offers high power density in structures with short axial lengths and large radial dimensions, making it attractive for applications that require thin structures, such as in-wheel motors. This study proposes an AFPMSM design process applicable under fixed inner/outer diameter and axial length constraints. The proposed process is presented as step-by-step procedures: selection of pole/slot combinations, adjustment of slot depth, determination of stator/rotor dimensional ratios, and slot structure design. It is universally applicable to both bobbin-type rectangular wire windings and shoe-type round wire windings. The validity of the proposed process was verified through finite element method (FEM) analysis, and the differences between the two winding structures were examined through post-processing of the results. By presenting an AFPMSM design methodology that can be consistently applied under constrained spatial conditions, this study provides practical design guidelines for the development of in-wheel motors for next-generation mobility applications.
