Abstract: In this paper a new topology of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Actuator (PMSA) is used for steer-by-wire application. The magnetic field patterns are determined from finite element modeling, for different rotor positions and supply currents, using FEMM software. The designed actuator geometric is, then, optimized using Genetic Algorithm in order to ameliorate its electromagnetic characteristics, and its resulting torque. Finally, a thermal analysis is achieved for the initial and the optimized actuators. The obtained results show a clear improvement of the actuator electromagnetic characteristics and heat distribution.
