    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing a torque to be supplied on a shaft of an electric motor including the following steps: creating and initializing a correction data table; acquiring a torque instruction; determining a torque command; measuring the current output from the converter and measuring the current output from the battery; calculating an electrical power on the basis of the two current measurements and of the voltage; determining, on the basis of a map, a corresponding torque on the basis of the electrical power at the motor and of the rotational speed of the motor; reading the information provided by the motor relating to the torque exerted on its shaft; calculating the difference between the information provided by the motor and the torque determined on the basis of the electrical power; and updating the correction data table.

    Abstract: Power tools described herein include a tool output, a motor driving the tool output, a battery pack interface, a power switching network coupled between the battery pack interface and the motor, and a controller coupled to the power switching network to control operation of the motor. The controller is configured to operate the motor at a no-load speed at startup and detect a load state of the power tool. The load state indicates whether the power tool is in a loaded state or an unloaded state. The controller is also configured to incrementally ramp up a speed of the motor from the no-load speed to a selected speed when the power tool is in the loaded state and incrementally ramp down the speed of the motor from the selected speed to the no-load speed when the power tool is in the unloaded state.

    Abstract: A system and method for shaping the trajectory of a motion command to reduce the effects of a load on performance of a motor dynamically modifies the motion profile in real time to limit the reference signals in the motion profile to feasible commands. A load observer determines an estimated disturbance acceleration. The estimated disturbance acceleration includes the dynamics of the controlled load and is used to modify a maximum and a minimum limit for the acceleration reference. The acceleration limits are, in turn, used to determine velocity limits. The motion profile and modified acceleration and velocity limits are provided to a state filter which determines a new motion profile for use by the motor drive to control operation of a motor and to control the load connected to the motor.
