Engineers and engineering students frequently reach the design stage with strong theoretical grounding in circuit theory and basic electromagnetics, but no clear, connected path from that theory to a finished, manufacturable, testable machine. A winding chosen purely for electromagnetic performance may be difficult to cool; a frame chosen purely for mechanical stiffness may make the winding uneconomical to manufacture. Without a structured, connected design process, engineers can lose time to trial-and-error sizing, miscalculate thermal margins, or discover a mechanical or verification problem only after a prototype has already been built.
This guide provides that structured, connected process. It develops the complete rotating-machine design cycle — first-pass sizing, detailed electromagnetic design, loss and thermal analysis, mechanical integrity checks, systematic optimization, and standards-based verification — as a sequence of numbered engineering decisions, each derived from first principles, illustrated with a fully worked calculation, and shown feeding into and constraining the next.
Benefits
- Translate an application's power, voltage, speed, and duty-cycle requirements into a defensible first estimate of rotor diameter and stack length.
- Size a real slotted stator core and specify a practical winding layout using complete first-principles calculations.
- Select an insulation system and thermal class appropriate to a machine's duty and operating environment.
- Follow dedicated, first-principles design procedures for induction, synchronous, direct-current, and permanent-magnet machines.
- Build a complete loss budget and size a cooling system that keeps a machine within its rated temperature rise.
- Check a finished design against shaft stress, critical speed, bearing life, and vibration limits, and apply systematic optimization to trade design variables against cost, mass, and efficiency.
- Follow four complete, worked design case studies — an industrial pump motor, an electric-vehicle traction motor, a wind-turbine generator, and a standby generator set — that apply every method in the book to real application scenarios.
Electromagnetic fundamentals and magnetic-circuit analysis; slotted stator core, winding, and insulation design; induction, synchronous, direct-current, and permanent-magnet machine design; loss and efficiency calculation; thermal design and cooling-system sizing; mechanical design and rotor dynamics; systematic design optimization; standards-based testing and verification; modern and emerging design topics; manufacturing and economic design trade-offs; generator design and grid interconnection; and four fully worked design case studies.
This guide is written for practicing electrical and mechanical engineers who design, specify, or evaluate motors, generators, or alternators; engineers transitioning from analysis, maintenance, or manufacturing roles into machine design; and engineering students and early-career engineers who have completed foundational coursework in circuit theory and electromagnetics and want a single, connected reference from first sizing calculation to a mechanically sound, standards-verified machine.
Get your copy and discover a structured, connected approach to the questions, challenges, and opportunities explored throughout the book — from a first sizing estimate to a design ready for verification testing.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
