The invention discloses a three-phase 18/16-pole bearingless switched reluctance motor. According to the invention, torque windings on torque teeth are used for generating output torque, and suspension windings on the suspension teeth are used for generating radial suspension force; due to the fact that the pole arc angle of the suspension teeth is equal to a rotor periodic angle, the inductance of the suspension windings is constant, and the motion electromotive force of the suspension windings is zero, so the suspension winding does not generate torque, and then natural decoupling of the torque and the suspension force can be achieved structurally; a traditional switched reluctance motor driving mode is adopted for rotation control, and suspension control is similar to a traditional electromagnetic bearing control mode, so control is simple, and good suspension performance is obtained; only one coil is wound on each tooth, so a structure is simple, machining and assembling are convenient, and a multi-rotor-tooth-number structure facilitates reduction of torque pulsation and increase of output power; moreover, torque and suspension magnetic circuits are both of a short magnetic circuit structure, so iron core loss can be reduced; and the magnetic flux direction of a stator yoke part does not change when the motor operates, so the stator iron core loss can be further reduced.
