The article presents two different torque measurement methods for very high speed synchronous motors: one uses an eddy current brake, and the other is an inertial method. The article also presents a ball bearings friction torque measurement method designed ...
Industrial robotic systems often require high performance control of a number of converter-fed motors. Although the advantages of using industrial robots during the manufacturing process are numerous the initial capital cost of the robotic system can be pr ...
In order to control the speed and/or position of permanent magnet (PM) motors, they require position sensors. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase motor. In micro-motors, as there is no space for the sensors, self-sensing must be u ...

Iterative Learning Control (ILC) is a technique used to improve the tracking performance of systems carrying out repetitive tasks, which are affected by deterministic disturbances. The achievable performance is greatly degraded, however, when non-repeating ...
Component minimized multi-machine drives have recently become an area of much research interest. One such drive comprises two three-phase induction motors supplied by a five-leg voltage source inverter. With only five legs available to supply two three-pha ...
Component minimized multi-machine drives have recently become an area of much research interest. One such drive comprises two three-phase induction motors supplied by a five-leg voltage source inverter (VSI). With only five legs available to supply two thr ...
This paper presents the design, the properties, and the optimization study of a new type of ultrasonic linear motor. Numerical modeling has been carried out and simulations with software have been realized. To avoid performing a large number of simulations ...
Rotor flux oriented control of multiphase induction machines with sinusoidal MMF distribution can theoretically be realized by using only two current controllers in the synchronous reference frame. In practice however this is inadequate, as shown in the pa ...
Industrial applications often require two (or more) variable speed electric drives, which have to be controlled independently. An example is a centre-driven two-motor winder, where ac machines are traditionally supplied from their individual three-phase vo ...
Training for colonoscopy, which is the examination and treatment of the colon, is often performed on real patients once the physician has passed the novice level. This increases the risk to the patient and lengthens the procedure time. Since a decade ago, ...
