The paper proposes the characteristic analysis method to consider the saturation of teeth and poles in the hybrid stepping motors. The proposed method is based on the equivalent magnetic circuit coupling with the finite element analysis. The equivalent magnetic circuit is used to analysis the characteristics of the hybrid stepping motors. And the FE analysis is used to compute the non-linear parameters included the equivalent magnetic circuit in the hybrid stepping motors. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed technique is compared with the classical method.

This paper presents dynamic characteristic of a 2 phase hybrid stepping motor which includes pull-out torque with constant voltage drive and one step response. In order to analyze this characteristics, vector diagram of a synchronous motor and torque-voltage equation are used. Analytic results are good agreement with experimental results.

In this paper, we confirm that the instanteneous phase current of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor is dependent of lead angle by the experimental results. The variation of phase current with lead angle gives informations about the rotor position at the moment when phase winding coil is excited. We show that the rotor position of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor for the closed-loop drives can be detected by using the instantaneous phase current measurement. We propose an instantaneous phase current equation as the function of electrical lead angle by the modeling of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motor. We also analyze the relationship between instantaneous phase current and rotor position by the computer simulation results. By the experimental results, we also confirm that the information about the rotor position can be obtained from the instantaneous phase current values at the instance of $\pi/2$ electrical angle of excitation pulse. pulse.

In this study, we tried to improve the thrust control performance through the thrust control combustion experiment of the hybrid rocket. We constructed the system which controls the oxidizer flow by combining a needle valve with a stepping motor and controlling the stepping motor drive according to the thrust control command order. Gas oxygen was used as the oxidizer for two different propellants, PE(Polyethylene), PC(Polycarbonate), respectively. To improve the slow response time and the oscillation phenomenon in the beginning stage of the thrust control combustion experiment, we measured and analyzed the change of the flow speed of the propellant pipe. The revised thrust control combustion experiment showed that the thrust was stably controlled with the margin or error from the thrust command within ${\pm}1$ N.

A stepping motor can be driven with open-loop or closed-loop control. The major disadvantage of open-loop control is that it is subjected to resonance and instability in certain speed range, and that there is no way to check stalling or error in position. In this paper, a closed-loop control system consisting of a microcomputer, a hybrid stepping motor, a drive, a lead screw, and an encoder which is used as a position sensor is developed. A control program is programmed in assembly language for real time control and the versatile interface adapter(VIA) is used as the interface with the microcomputer. The experimental results of the stepping motor were eliminated on all kinds of inertia load, and maximum start stop pulse rate and maximum slewing pulse rate were also increased about twice respectively.

In this paper, we show that the rotor position of the bifilar-wound hybrid stepping motors for the closed-loop drives is detected by the phase current measurement. We propose an instantaneous phase current equation, which is the function of electrical angle, by the modeling of the stepping motor including motor driving circuits. We also analyze the relationship between phase current and rotor position from the computer simulation results. It is shown that the information about the rotor position is obtained from the phase current amplitude and its derivatives at the instance of ${\pi}/2$ electrical angle of excitation voltage.

In this paper, it presents the design and implementation of a Microstep control IC using Programmable Logic Device(PLD). A Microstep driver is implemented with a 5-phase hybrid stepping motor, which has a Pentagon winding, power MOSFETs, and some devices to improve the system characteristics. The Microstep driving method is used for high performance motion control, low vibration and low noise in motor control system. The improvement of the electrical and mechanical driving characteristic of a step motor is achieved by applying microstep driver.

The linear hybrid stepping motors (LHSM) has been widely used due to its simple structure and low cost control. Despite of its attractive features, the conventional LHSM has the multiples of 4th times harmonic reluctance force from excitation current and cogging force from space harmonic of permeance. This paper propose a new LHSM, which the mechanical and electrical phase difference are $45^{\circ}$. The proposed motor shows a unique ability to deliver low detent force and we propose a closed-loop control scheme to attack the ripple force for high performance applications. An analytical and experimental comparison between conventional and proposed LHSM is evaluated to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed modeling and control scheme.
