In this paper, the flux focusing slotted double stator and single rotor (DSSR) axial flux permanent magnet motor (AFPM) is analyzed. It has high torque density due to its inherent compact multipolar disc-type structure, which is suitable for direct-driven and in-wheel applications. Permanent magnets (PMs) are inserted in the rotor core and the stator has concentrated double layer winding. The winding arrangement is determined by the star of slot voltage method. To select the stator slots and rotor poles combination, comparative winding analysis is carried out using the winding function theory. Finally, a 3D finite element method (FEM) is utilized for the characteristic analysis of the machine.
