    Abstract: A motor driver having a motor abnormality detection mechanism is provided. A motor position detecting circuit detects a change in a state of a rotor of the motor switching between a plurality of magnetic pole positions to output a commutation signal. An abnormality determining circuit, according the commutation signal, determines a plurality of time intervals during which the rotor of the motor is switched to the plurality of magnetic pole positions respectively to output an abnormality detected signal. A rotational protection controller circuit outputs a rotation protecting signal to a motor driving circuit according to the abnormality detected signal. A motor driving circuit drives the motor according to the rotation protecting signal. When the abnormality detected signal received by the rotational protection controller circuit indicates that the motor abnormally rotates, the rotational protection controller circuit adjusts the rotation protecting signal outputted to the motor driving circuit.

    Abstract: In induction motors, efficiency is improved and a maximum torque is increased. For a magnetic flux density of the stator pole for each phase of an induction motor, a circumferential magnetic flux density distribution is controlled to any distribution state, from a trapezoidal wave-like distribution close to a square wave to a sinusoidal distribution. In particular, motor efficiency in a range of low to medium rotations is improved. The motor structure is designed to reduce the leakage inductance of the rotor windings, and the motor and control thereof are optimized for each other. This increases the maximum torque of the motor more effectively. In addition, the high efficiency of the motor makes it possible to reduce the size of the drive circuit.

    Abstract: A DC electric motor having a stator mounted to a substrate, the stator having a coil assembly having a magnetic core, a rotor mounted to the stator with permanent magnets distributed radially about the rotor, the permanent magnets extending beyond the magnetic core, and sensors mounted to the substrate adjacent the permanent magnets. During operation of the motor passage of the permanent magnets over the sensors produces a substantially sinusoidal signal of varying voltage substantially without noise and/or saturation, allowing an angular position of the rotor to be determined from the sinusoidal signals by utilizing a transformation matrix or piece-wise algorithm applied in substantially linear portions of the sinusoidal signals without requiring use of additional hardware encoder or position sensors and without requiring noise-reduction or filtering of the signal.

    Abstract: A gantry drive system includes: a first motor configured to drive a driving object along a first axis; a second motor configured to drive the driving object along a second axis parallel with the first axis; and a motor control system configured to control the first and second motors. The motor control system includes a mode switch that performs a switching between a first control mode in which a position of the driving object on each of the first and second axes is individually controlled while reducing an inter-axis positional deviation between the first and second axes, and a second control mode in which a rotational state of the driving object is controlled while controlling a position of the driving object, based on detected positions of the driving object on the first and second axes.

    Abstract: A shift range control device switches a shift range by controlling a drive of a motor in which a rotor rotates by energizing a motor winding. An angle calculation unit calculates a motor angle based on a signal from a rotation angle sensor that detects a rotation position of the rotor. An energization control unit drives the rotor so that the motor angle becomes a target angle according to the target shift range, and stops the rotor at a position where the motor angle becomes the target angle, by controlling the energization of the motor winding. A zero point estimation unit estimates a speed 0 point, which is a timing at which a rotational speed of the vibrating rotor becomes 0 during the stop control for stopping the rotor. The energization control unit switches a current control at the estimated speed 0 point.

    Abstract: A drive system according to an aspect of an embodiment includes a rotor phase detection unit, a phase estimation unit, a phase error adjustment unit, and a drive control unit. The rotor phase detection unit detects a phase of a rotor of a synchronous motor and outputs phase information indicating the detected phase. The phase estimation unit generates an initial phase command of defining a position of the rotor of the synchronous motor by using a correction amount for correcting a phase error. The phase error adjustment unit generates the correction amount for adjusting a phase error of an initial magnetic pole position of the synchronous motor by using a phase error of the initial phase command at a timing defined by the phase information. The drive control unit controls the driving of the synchronous motor by using the initial phase command obtained by adjusting the phase error.
