A method for optimising the weight and response of brush-type wound-field direct current motors

چکیده
Weight optimised direct current (DC) motors have been used lately as actuators for micro-robotics and biomedical equipment. The evolution of these motors originated from the need for lightweight compact motors with good response in the industry. Many techniques have been used in developing permanent magnet (PM) and wound-field (WF) DC motors, such as numerical analysis, selecting adequate magnetic material, finite element analysis and optimisation models. Yet, published articles on optimising the weight and response of WF DC motors reveal the development of WF weight optimised motors with problems for example non-proportional geometry, saturated armature teeth, weak output torque and high operating specific electric loading. To overcome these problems, this paper presents a method that separately optimises wound-field DC motors operating with closed-loop proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controllers. A 900-watts DC motor and its PID controllers are optimised as an example for illustrating the proposed method.

Direct Torque Control of 5-Phase 10/8 Switched Reluctance Motors
A switched Reluctance motor (SRM) has several desirable features, including simple construction, high reliability and low cost. However, it suffers from large torque ripple, highly non-uniform torque output and magnetization characteristics and large noise. Several studies have succeeded in torque ripple reduction for SRM using Direct Torque Control (DTC) technique. DTC method has many adva...

Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
متن کاملDesign Optimization and Construction of Double-Sided Linear Induction Motor
Linear induction motors have single and double-sided structures which are used in special applications, according to their advantages and disadvantages. Due to advantages such as lack of normal forces in double-sided type, these motors are more controllable and popular than the single-sided type, especially for transportation applications. In literature, single-sided linear induction motors ha...
