This paper analyzed the characteristics of the claw pole PM stewing motor by using 3D FEM. As the magnetization occurs along the z-axis of the motor, it is necessary to apply 3D FEM for analysis of the claw pole PM stewing motor. Considering the computation time, reducing the number of the analysis model is effective method of the methods of the reducing analysis time. By using the "Design Of Experiments(DOE)", efficient analysis was able to be done. To see the effects of the design factors, the 3D FEM is applied only to the selected models. As the design factors, the teeth selected models, the number of turns and the permanent magnet overhang was selected.

This paper describes the effect of eddy currents in the rotor steel shell of exterior-rotor permanent magnet BLDC motor of which rotor is revolving at a high speed. A two-dimensional time-stepping finite element method is used for analyzing electromagnetic field and computing performances of the motor. As a result the effect of the eddy currents in the rotor steel shell is shown by comparing the analysis results from both the proposed method and the conventional one.

영구자석형 스테핑 모터 (Permanent Magnet Stepping Motor, PMSM)에서는 그 구조적 특징으로 인하여 필연적으로 코깅 토크 (cogging torque)가 발생한다. PMSM의 성능을 저하시키는 코깅 토크를 제거하기 위하여 Internal Model Principle (IMP)을 제안하였다. IMP를 사용하기 위해 Field-Oriented Control (FOC) 기반의 SISO 시스템을 구성하고 IMP를 PI 제어기에 병렬로 추가하였다. 모의 실험 결과로 코깅 토크로 인한 속도 리플이 효과적으로 제거됨을 보였다.

This paper presents an efficient analysis method using time-stepping finite element method for electric machines driven by pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter. In the method, the value of time-step is changed according to the PWM logic of inverter, and the calculation time can be reduced while maintaining analysis accuracy. Using the method, the dynamic characteristics of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) driven by PWM inverter are analyzed.

Stepper motor is widely used in positioning applications due to its durability and high torque to inertia ratio as well as low cost and ability to be easily controlled with open-loop. Due to increased resolution of position control and improved stability of motion control, microstepping has drawn attention in industry since it was introduced in 1970s. With the increase in computational power and decrease in cost of embedded processors in recent years, drives and control systems for stepper motors have become more sophisticate than ever. Thus, closed-loop control methods have been developed to improve the performance of the stepper motors. In this paper, we review not only basic principles of conventional control methods used for stepper motors but also that of microstepping control. In addition, we surveyed recent development in nonlinear control methods applied to stepper motors. The nonlinear control methods are presented in the view of Lyapunov stability. Nonlinear torque disturbance observer, sliding mode control, and nonlinear phase compensation are also presented.
