A HDD adopts a sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor as a spindle motor. Because there is no direct sensor measuring rotor position. open loop commutations with inductive sensing are used to increase the rotor speed up to a certain speed where the zero crossings of the back electromotive force (EMF) voltage are measurable. Therefore, successful open loop commutations are necessary for the stable start-up control of the spindle motors. In this paper, the time scale and the number of the open loop commutations are employed for design parameters to guarantee robustness to torque constant variation and initial rotor position. The design results are verified by experiments on a very low current start-up of the spindle motor with various environment. The experimental results show that the design results can decrease the start-up failure rate considerably.

This paper studies particularly applicable method for sensorless PM BLDC motor drive system. The waveform of the motor internal voltages(or back emf) contains a fundamental and higher order frequency harmonics. Therefore the third harmonic component is extracted from the stator phase voltage. The resulting third harmonic signal keeps a constant phase relationship with the rotor flux for any motor speed and load condition. Also because of low resolution of estimated signal obtained by the proposed sensorless algorithm, to improve the wide range of speed response characteristic more exactly, we propose the rotor position signal synthesizer using PLL circuit based on estimated signals. Some experimental results are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control method.

BLDC 전동기 제어에 매우 중요한 역할을 가지고 있는 피드백 센서 방식으로 싱글 전류검출센서를 이용한 속도제어 방법은 모터 설계의 비용을 낮추고, 심플한 제어기 설계를 가능하게 한다. 또한, 전동기에 손상을 줄 수 있는 오류조건을 감지함으로서 신뢰성을 향상시켜 줄 수 있다. 시뮬레이션에 사용하는 BLDC 전동기는 3상 Y결선 전동기를 모델로 하며 MATLAB/SIMULINK를 사용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 그 성능을 분석하였다.

This paper presents the optimum design of the brushless motor to maximize the output power per weight considering the design parameter tolerance. The optimization is proceeded by commercial software that is adopted the scatter-search algorithm and the characteristic analysis is conducted by FEM. The stochastic optimum design results are compared with those of the deterministic optimization method. We can verify that the results of the stochastic optimization is superior than that of deterministic optimization.

일반적으로 반도체 제조 공정은 매우 복잡하고 다양한 공정들로 구성된다. 이러한 공정 중 Stage 부분은 웨이퍼에 회로 패턴을 기입하기 위하여 웨이퍼를 미리 지정된 위치로 이송하는 공정으로 매우 높은 정밀도가 요구되고 있다. Stage에 대해서는 x, y, z축 뿐아니라 각 축에 대한 회전까지도 고려한 6축 제어가 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 stage에 대한 정밀제어의 기반기술로서 선형 BLDC 모터를 이용하여 1축 위치제어 시스템의 제어에 관하여 연구하였다. 선형 BLDC 모터의 이동 중 발생하는 추럭리플을 보상하여 제어기 설계시 선형 시스템으로 고려하여 제어기를 설계할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 제안하였으며 실험을 통하여 1[${\mu}m$]의 해상도를 갖는 위치검출 엔코더를 이용하여 5[${\mu}m$]의 정밀도를 얻을 수 있었다.

The paper shows a result for development of BLDC motor drive by using a resolver as position detection sensor. The developed drive use a method detecting rotor position based on HSI interrupt function of microprocessor without a specialized counting circuit. The algorithm generating three-phase PWM wave to change switching voltage and current is realized based on single chip microprocessor. The PWM generating part and position counting circuit are realized by software technique without usage of conventional analogue circuit or object-oriented chips. So the drive system become compact. The effectiveness of the developed drive is verified by experimented results of speed response for step reference input.

최근 산업 분야에서 리니어모터는 고속, 고정밀도의 요구사항에 따라 회전 모터와 볼 스크류, 벨트를 이용한 직선구동방식보다 빠르고 정확하며, 효율이 높기 때문에 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 리니어모터 중에서 선형 브러시리스 직류 전동기(LBLDCM)는 다른 리니어모터에 비해 소형, 경량이 가능하고, 저속 및 고속의 운전이 용이하며, 기계 가공 정도보다는 엔코더 등과 같은 위치 결정 응용 분야에 적합하며 본 연구에서 사용된 LBLDCM은 코일 가동형으로 영구 자석에 의해 발생된 자계와 가동자 코일에 흐르는 전류 사이에 작용하는 힘을 이용하게 된다. 이와 같은 LBLDCM을 응용분야에 적용하기 위해서는 구동 중에 속도가 변하는 지점에서 발생하는 진동을 줄여야 하며 목표지점까지의 정확한 위치 제어가 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 속도 프로파일에 따른 진동에 대해 비교 분석한 후, 이동거리에 따른 적합한 속도 프로파일에 대해 알아보았고, 그 결과를 토대로, 목표지점까지의 위치 오차를 저감하면서 정밀한 위치 제어에 적합한 프로파일을 제시하였다.

This paper describes an signal processing method for the hall sensorless position control of ETC control system using a BLDC motor. The proposed ETC control system, which is mainly consisted of a BLDC motor, a throttle plate, a return spring and reduction gear, has a position sensor with an analog voltage output on the throttle valve instead of BLDC motor for detecting rotor position of motor. So the additional commutation information is necessarily needed to control the mentioned ETC module. In order to estimate and determine the commutation state, it is proposed to properly manipulate the resolution of A/D converter considering the mechanical parameter, that is, the number of motor slot and the ratio of reduction gear. Through this method, the estimation of commutation state for operating the system is possible and the discrete signal for commutation is stably obtained. The validity of the method is examined through the experimental results.

Optimization method for the open loop commutation time intervals in HDD spindle start-up control is presented in this paper. A hard disk drive(HDD) uses a sensorless brushless DC motor(BLDC) for the platter rotation. Because there is no direct sensor for the rotor position, open loop commutations after sensing the rotor position at a standstill using inductive sensing method are performed to speed up the rotor up to a certain speed where the zero crossings of the back electromotive force(EMF) are measurable. Therefore successful open loop commutations are necessary for the stable start-up control of the spindle motors. Random neighborhood search(RNS) algorithm is introduced as a optimization technic in this paper. Rotor speed and its standard deviation are used as a cost function and commutation intervals obtained from the spindle motion equation are used as initial parameter values for the RNS. With the help of the proposed method optimized open loop commutation time intervals for the very low start-up current are acquired and tested. The experimental results shows that the proposed method can decrease the start-up failure rate of a HDD spindle motor.

The electromagnetic forces generate a torque on the gimbal motor, and changes in the coil current causes torque ripple. This affects the gimbals' speed and results to unstable satellite attitude. It is therefore essential to reduce the torque ripple of the gimble motor with the aim of improving the attitude control accuracy of the satellite. This paper theoretically analyzes the torque generated from the modeling of a motor for general concentrated winding and distributed winding. The prototype was designed and fabricated through selection of the winding that reduces the torque ripple through simulation results. The results of the magnetic fields' theoretical analysis and the back electromotive force of the prototype were compared with the calibrated results for verification of conformity and manufacture of the design. The low-speed test proved that the torque ripple is reduced by improving the speed stability.
