In this paper, the torque production mechanisms of flux-reversal permanent magnet (FRPM) machine and Vernier permanent magnet (PM) machine are analyzed and compared based on air-gap field modulation. Working harmonics of PM magnetomotive force (MMF) and air-gap permeance in two machines are analytically identified and compared, indicating that the fundamental PM MMF together with all permeance harmonics contribute to the torque production of Vernier machine whereas all PM MMF harmonics but only fundamental permeance in FRPM machine produces the torque. Thanks to the utilized large dc component of air-gap permeance, the torque density of Vernier machine is revealed to be better. Influence of critical parameters on machine performance, such as PM thickness and slot width ratio of the modulation pole, is also investigated. It shows that FRPM machine is more sensitive to the design parameters. Both finite-element analysis and experimental validation are conducted to verify the conclusion.
