In order to accurately analyze the temperature distribution of a high-speed magnetic suspension amorphous motor, a multi-physical coupling method, including flow field, electromagnetic field and temperature field, is proposed. The electromagnetic loss obtained by electromagnetic analysis is directly mapped to the temperature field and input to the boundary conditions of the flow field for several coupled iterations. This paper compares the thermal analysis results of two different temperature rise calculation methods, analyzes the temperature distribution of magnetic suspension amorphous motor under different working conditions, and discusses the simulation results and the measured results. The error between the multi-field coupling simulation results and the experimental results is less than 10 °C, and the error of the traditional temperature rise analysis method is 30 °C, which verifies the superiority of the proposed coupling analysis method in improving the calculation accuracy of motor temperature rise, and has important significance for the accurate prediction of motor temperature rise in the design stage.
