Torque measurement methods for very high-speed motors

Yves Perriard, Pierre-Daniel Pfister

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a contactless torque measurement methods. The need for low-weight, high-efficiency and high-power density motors has led to an increased research and development activity in the field of very high speed (VH ...

A Perching Mechanism for Micro Aerial Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Roland Siegwart, Mirko Kovac, Jürg Markus Germann

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with perching capabilities can be used to efficiently place sensors in aloft locations. A major challenge for perching is to build a lightweight mechanism that can be easily mounted on a MAV, allowing it to perch (attach and de ...

Analyse et mise en oeuvre d'un moteur électromagnétique microfabriqué

Sebastiano Merzaghi

Until now, the preferred solution for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuation is the electrostatic one. The main reason is that this kind of actuators can be easily manufactured following the microfabrication rules, as their geometry perfectly fi ...

A four-motor drive supplied from a triple three-phase voltage source inverter

Drazen Dujic

Since control of a three-phase machine requires only two currents, it is possible to independently control a number of three-phase machines using reduced-switch-count voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies. One such configuration consists of n three-phas ...

Power Supply of Long stator Linear Motors – Application to Multi Mobile System

Yves Perriard, Jean-Jacques Simond, Basile Kawkabani

In large cities, due to expensive land price, high-rise buildings are built, in which the space dedicated to the elevators is considerable and reduces the rented surfaces. To decrease these lost surfaces, a multi mobile system is proposed. It consists of s ...

Conception of a Piezoelectric Micromotor

Ultrasonic Motors are drive systems used in a lot of industrial applications notably because of their advantages i.e. no audible noise, compact size and fast response. Therefore, this technology has been chosen for the design of a new type of actuator for ...

A two-motor centre-driven winder drive fed by a five-leg voltage source inverter

Drazen Dujic

Recent research has shown that it is possible to independently control two three-phase induction machines while supplying them via a single five-leg voltage source inverter (VSI). In such a two-motor drive system one phase of each motor is connected to a c ...

Self-sensing methods to drive micro-machines

Yves Perriard, Omar Scaglione, Jan Persson

Synchronous motors require sensors in order to control these devices in speed and/or position. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase type actuator. In micro-motors, as there is no more room to place the sensors, self-sensing approac ...

Comparative study and selection criteria of linear motors

Samuel Chevailler

Initially, linear motors have been particularly dedicated to transportation systems. Nowadays, linear motors are meant to replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. With linear motors the performances increase ...

High-Speed Low Power Radial Turbocompressor For Oil-Free Heatpumps

Daniel Favrat, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is a hindrance, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two-stage cycles. Very compact oil-free dynamic compressor directly driven by high speed electric motors and support ...
