Various kinds of practical machines using the single phase induction motor (SPIM) are utilized to control both speed and torque. In particular, the capacitor-run type SPIM has the characteristic that allows the motor torque to be altered by auxiliary capacitance variation. In this study, we manifest an equivalent model having a more simplified configuration, and clarify the relationship between torque and capacitance. Also, we design an experimental controller that is able to perform speed control with ease by the phase angle control of the AC input voltage. Validity of this study is confirmed through the simulation and experimental results obtained.

This paper proposes a new fuzzy load torque observer and a fuzzy speed regulator to guarantee a robust speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Also, the LMI conditions are given for the existence of the fuzzy load torque observer and fuzzy speed controller, and the gains of the observer and controller are calculated. The stability of the proposed control system is analytically proven. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed observer-based fuzzy speed controller, the simulation and experimental results are presented. Finally, it is definitely demonstrated that the proposed control algorithm can be used to accurately control the speed of a PM synchronous motor.

This paper presents a simplified dynamics model, dynamics simulations, and computed torque control experiments of the Delta high-speed parallel robot. Using the typical Newton-Euler method, a simplified but accurate dynamics model with practical assumptions is derived. Accuracy and fast calculations of the dynamics are essential in the computed torque control for high-speed applications. It was found that the simplified dynamics equation is in very god agreement with the ADAMS model, and the calculation time of the inverse kinematics and inverse dynamics is about 0.04 msec. From the dynamics simulations, the cycle trajectory along the y-axis requires less peak motor torque and a lower angular velocity and less power than that along the x-axis. The computed torque control scheme can reduce the position error by half as compared to a PD control scheme. Finally, the developed Delta parallel robot prototype, half the size of the ABB Flexpicker robot, can achieve a cycle time of 0.43 sec with a 1.0kg payload.

In this paper, a flat-type $L_{-}$-$B_{8}$ mode Ultrasonic Motor[USM] having the size of 80 x 20 x ${1.5}mm^3$($l{\times}\omega{\times}t$) was designed and fabricated to examine the characteristics of an ultrasonic vibration. We used ANSYS simulation program based on FEM to get the optimum design of this USM. As results of experiment, the fastest speed of revolution(v), the maximum torque(T) and the efficiency(n) were 37.5cm/s, 5.0 mN.m and 1.17% when 27.9KHz, 150N, 50V were applied respectively. And this flat-type $L_{-}$-$B_{8}$ mode USM could be controlled the speed of rotor revolution by applied voltage, frequency and pre-load of rotor as well as showed the characteristics of typical drooping torque-speed, large torque and high speed. So, we think that this flat-type $L_{-}$-$B_{8}$ mode USM has characteristics of enough torque and velocity to be usable for applications in forwarding device of an electric card or a paper, etc.

Despite the wide industrial applications of planetary gear trains, the relationship between the design parameters (tooth profile, carrier mass, etc.) and performance (strength, vibration, noise, etc.) remains poorly understood. A significant amount of research has focused on transmission errors, which are measurable performance indicators directly related to the design parameters. Herein, an experimental test rig for a single-stage planetary gear set built using digital angular encoders and gap sensors is described. To study the static and dynamic characteristics of this planetary gear train, the transmission errors and sun gear orbit are analyzed from the data measured under various levels of torque and speed. The transmission errors of the gear train decrease 40% when the speed increases from 30 to 600 rpm with an output torque of 39.2 Nm, and increase 22% when the output torque increases from 19.6 to 39.2 Nm with an input speed of 30 rpm.

Gear train system test rig of power circulating type was fabricated, and systematic experiment for measuring dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear trains in the low speed region has been carried out using the test rig. The measured parameters are fillet strains of the sun gear and ring gear, carrier displacements, torques of the input and output shafts. The results are as follows : i) Even though the loading torque is constant, torque variation has been observed on the input and output hafts, ii) The variation of the torque has two frequency components, i.e. lower one of the input shaft rotation and higher one of the two teeth meshing, iii) The variation of the fillet strains shows the same tendency as that of the torque, iv) The loci of the carrier depend on the torque and rotational speed.

This paper presents an estimation scheme of the external torque applied on the motor by using measured motor input current when the IPM(Interior Permanent Magnet) rotor type BLDC motor operates with constant speed. In general, the BLDC motor is controlled by vector control method. If it could be operated at over critical speed, the control scheme must be modified to flux-weakening control method. The external torque applied on the motor using flux-weakening control method could not be calculated by conventional torque equation because the demagnetizing current Id exists in the motor input current. In this paper, the commonly used flux-weakening control method is studied and the modified torque estimation scheme is suggested. The estimation scheme has been verified by the simulations and experimental results.

In this paper, recursive least square algorithm is presented to estimate the parameters of step motor under low-speed operation. Parameter estimation is important for compensating the input current by calculating the ratio of the motor torque constant and detent torque constant that causes torque-ripple in low-speed applications. On-line parameter estimation process is a preliminary procedure to apply step motor to adaptive control. Computer simulation shows that the estimated parameters converge in finite time.

In this paper, a study on the improvement of the IM speed response against load torque variation is presented. A VSCS(Variable Structure Control System) is proposed which gives the desired robustness against load torque variation using a new kind of time-varing switching plane. In order to eliminate the reaching phase of the states from one switching plane to another during variation, the switching plane is varied continuously. To verify the high dynamic performance of the proposed VSCS, simulation and experimental results are presented.

This paper describes sensorless speed control of brushless DC motors by using direct torque control. Direct torque control offers fast torque response, robust specification of parameter changes, and lower hardware and processing costs compared to vector-controlled drives. In this paper, the current error compensation method is applied to the sensorless speed control of a brushless DC motor. Through this control technique, the controlled stator voltage is applied to the brushless DC motor such that the error between the stator currents in the mathematical model and the actual motor can be forced to decay to zero as time proceeds, and therefore, the motor speed approaches the setting value. This paper discusses the composition of the controller, which can carry out robust speed control without any proportional-integral (PI) controllers. The simulation results show that the control system has good dynamic speed and load responses at wide ranges of speed.
