Brushless Permanent Magnet Servomotors

Electrical motors drive a variety of loads in today’s world. Almost every industrial process relies on some kind of electrical motors and generators. There exist billions electric motors used in different applications all over the world. Majority of them are small fractional HP motors use in household appliances. However, they used about 5% of the electricity used by the motors. Three phase mot...

Controlled Permanent Magnet Drives

The considered converter-fed permanent magnet motor could alternatively be operated in two basically different states − the vector control mode or alternatively the brushless dc, also known as electronically commutated mode. Several quality aspects concerning the system performance have been comparatively investigated in practical as well as theoretical manner. Focus is thereby given to the num...

Finite-Time Chaos Suppression of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Systems

This paper considers the problem of the chaos suppression for the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) system via the finite-time control. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and the finite-time controller are developed such that the chaos behaviors of PMSM system can be suppressed. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed methods are shown in numerical simulations.

On Permanent Magnet Material Testing

Note describes two experiments made to explore basic properties of permanent magnet (PM) material and to obtain “first hand” experience. In the first experiment, magnetic moments of NdFeB permanent magnets (PM) were fine tuned. The magnetic moment spread among 17 PM magnets was reduced by a factor of 5 from 2.8% to 0.5%. The note describes setup used for magnetization and presents result. The s...
