This paper presents a general analytical method for analyzing mechanical unbalance response of unbalanced electromagnetic forces produced in induction motors with an eccentric rotor and a phase unbalance. The equations to be solved are a set of second order differential equations which give matrices with periodic coefficients that are a function of time due to the unbalanced electro-magnetic force. Unbalance response is processed by Newmark $\beta$ method. Two examples are given including an industrial application. The results show that the method proposed is satisfactory.

This paper presents a general analytical method for analyzing the instability of unbalanced electromagnetic forces produced in induction motors with an eccentric rotor. The equations to be solved are a set of second order differential equations which give matrices with periodic coefficients that are a function of time due to the unbalanced electromagnetic force. The method is based on an extension of the Floquet theory. A transfer matrix over one period of the motion is obtained. and the stability of the system can be determined with the eigenvalues of the matrix. The analysis results of instability zone were coincided upon comparing that of transfer matrix method with that of rotating frame. Two examples are given. including an industrial application. The results show that the method proposed is satisfactory.

Vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and magnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics, depending on the degree of misalignment. The rotor-motor system used in a washing machine is modeled using FE-TM and a magnetic force of BLDC motor with radial rotor eccentricity is analyzed. And the transient whirl responses of a rotor system with relative misalignment in the motor air-gap are investigated considering mechanical origins and magnetic effects. Results show that rotor misalignment in the air-gap affect the vibration of the rotor-motor system.

Acoustic noise and vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and electromagnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage, it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics. In this paper, the back electro motive force(BEMF) is analyzed by Finite Element Method(FEM) and verified by experiments for the SPM and IPM type motors. For magnetic field analysis, a FEM is used to account for the magnetic saturation. Using these results, the FEM is made to determine the appropriate electromagnetic field analysis in BLDC motors with rotor eccentricity ratio. A radial magnetic imbalance force of BLDC motor with rotor eccentricity is analyzed. Results demonstrate that the imbalance force is increased according to the degree of misalignment. An IPM motor, mostly chosen to realize high-speed operation, shows a worse effect on magnetic unbalanced forces and dynamic responses compared with SPM motor due to magnetic saturation when the rotor eccentricity exists.

기계의 진동.소음은 환경요인과 함께, 기계의 정밀도 향상 및 고장진단과 관련, 기계공학의 중요분야이다. 특히, 전동기(motor)는 많은 기계의 동력원으로서 진동.소음의 1차적 원인을 제공하고 있어, 자체적으로도 저감되어야 함은 물론이며, 감속기등 전동기와 연결되어 사용되는 기계의 진동.소음 발생의 직접적인 원인을 제공하므로 전동기의 진동, 소음 특성은 보다 명확히 밝혀져야 한다. 전동기는 내부에 회전자와 고정자가 있는 회전 기계이면서, 전자기력에 의해 구동되는 전기기계이다. 따라서 축정렬불량(misalignment), 불평형(unbalance)등 기계적 요인과 함께, 고정자와 회전자 사이에 존재하는 공극(air-gap)에서 발생하는 전자기적 요인을 해석함으로써 전동기의 진동.소음의 원인을 밝혀볼 수 있다. 각 전동기에 따라 진동.소음의 크기 및 주파수 성분은 달라질 수 밖에 없으며, 특정 부위에 이상이 있는 경우, 전동기의 진동, 소음특성은 크게 달라지므로, 전동기의 진동, 소음에 관한 연구는 실험적 현상을 기초로 해야한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전동기이 진동.소음을 규명하기 위해, 부하장치를 가진 전동기 구동 실험장치를 구성하여, 전동기 구동에 따른 진동.소음 신호를 획득, 분석함으로써 전동기에서 발생하는 진동,소음의 원인을 추정하였다.

Vibration of disk drive spindle is one of the major limiting factors in achieving higher track densities in hard disk drives. Vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and magnetic origins through the motor air-gap. In this paper, radial magnetic forces for symmetric and asymmetric BLDC motor are calculated with respect to the various rotor eccentricity using analytic method. Based on the results of the radial magnetic forces, transient whirl responses of the spindle motor are analyzed using finite element and transfer matrices. Results show that an asymmetric motor has a worse effects on unbalanced magnetic forces and vibration when mechanical and magnetic coupling exists.
