The STW(servo track writing) system which is the process of writing servo signals on disks before assembling in drives uses the spindle motor-chuck mechanism to realize low cost because the spindle motor-chuck mechanism has merit which can simultaneously write multi-disk by piling up disks in hub. Therefore, when the spindle motor-chuck mechanism of horizontal type operates in high rotation speed it is necessary to reduce the effect of RRO(repeatable run-out) and NRRO(non-repeatable run-out) to achieve the high precision accuracy of nano-meter level during the STW process. In this paper, we analyzed that the slip in assembly surfaces can be caused by the mechanical tolerance and clamping force in hub-chuck mechanism and can affect NRRO performance. We designed springs for centering and clamping considering centrifugal force by the rotation speed and assembly condition. The experimental result showed NRRO performance improves about 30 % than case of weak clamping force. The result shows that the optimal design of the spindle motor-chuck mechanism can effectively reduce the effect of NRRO and RRO in STW process.

기존의 위상천이 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 경우 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스와 정류 스위치의 기생 출력 캐패시턴스 사이의 공진으로 인하여 정류 스위치에 스파이크 전압이 발생하며, 이는 시스템의 전력 변환 효율을 감소시킨다. 최근에 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하여 클램핑 캐패시터에서 흡수된 에너지를 부하로 회기시키는 방법이 연구되고 있으나, 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 설계하기 위한 정확한 분석은 제시되지 않았다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압을 저감할 수 있는 비동기식 능동형 스너버 회로의 설계방법을 제안한다. 또한, 초기 기동 시에 발생되는 큰 공진에너지를 히스테리시스 회로를 이용하여 저항을 통해 소모시킴으로써 보조 DC/DC 컨버터의 자성소자를 최소화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이론적으로 분석하며, 450W급 시작품을 제작하여 제안방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

핸드폰, 노트북 빛 태블릿 PC와 같이 휴대할 수 있는 전자기기의 사용량이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 필요로 하게 된다. 배터리 사양이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 빠르게 충전시키는 어댑터 (Adapter)는 필수 요구 사항이 되었다. 고속 충전을 하기 위해선 높은 전류 공급 능력이 필요하며, 휴대성을 높이기 위해서 사이즈를 최소화하여 설계되어야 한다. 고효율 및 고밀도를 요구하는 시장에 걸맞게, 어댑터 시장 역시 Topology부터 사용 소자까지 많은 발전 중에 있다. 어댑터에 사용되는 대표적인 Topology는 절연에 용이하며 회로구조가 간단한 저비용, 고효율 Flyback Converter 회로가 기본적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 이 구조는 스위칭 주기마다 스위치 양단 전압 및 전류의 중첩에 의한 스위칭 손실이 불가피 하다는 단점이 존재한다. 그 단점을 보완하기 위해 RCD 스너버로 클램핑을 시켜줌과 동시에 변압기의 자화 인덕턴스와 스위치의 기생 커패시터의 공진 현상을 이용하여 스위치 양단 전압 V_DS가 최소화되는 지점에서 다음 스위칭 동작을 수행하는 QR(Quasi-Resonant) Flyback Converter를 사용한 어댑터가 시장에서 주로 보였다. 하지만 QR Flyback Converter 역시 기존 방식보다 유리하지만 이 또한 스위칭 주파수 증가에 따른 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 현재는 영전압 스위칭 (Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS)이 가능한 ACF(Active Clamp Flyback) Converter 회로의 연구 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이때 스위칭 특성이 우수한 GaN-FET를 적용한 어댑터가 시장에 출시되고 있다. 특히, 이 시장에서는 GaN 소자를 적용한 어댑터를 차세대 전력 반도체 적용이라는 마케팅에도 이용되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The manufacturing process of the amorphous transformer core consists of winding, cutting, forming, annealing. Clamping of cores during this process are required for shape forming. Clamping of cores enhances the space factor, but degrades the magnetic properties and core loss characteristics of the cores. In this study, we investigated the optimal clamping pressure required in magnetic field annealing of 5 kVA amorphous transformer core.

In this study we analyze operation principle of wedge type rail clamp using in the harbor and when wind force applies to container crane, we calculate deformation in each part of rail clamp. As a result of calculation, we will design rail clamp supporter that forbid overload to be applied at rail clamp according to adjust climbing wedge distance of roller. It would be adapted various container capacity and wind velocity.

This article deals with the numerical analysis results of stiffness of diaphragm spring used in the clutch of a manual transmission. In order to investigate the relationship of the force and displacement in a diaphragm spring, we have established a numerical model of diaphragm spring using a well-known analytic model of Belleville spring and a cantilever beam model for the finger part of diaphragm spring. Using the stress and strain relations of Belleville spring and cantilever beam, we propose the analytic equation of motion of diaphragm spring for the use of a clutch automated actuator in an automated manual transmission. The proposed analytic model represents the typical dynamic characteristics of diaphragm spring along with the release bearing travel. And it is characterized in a closed-form equation, therefore it can be used for the further study of development of actuator and control law of clutch automating mechanism.

The principle of self clamping friction clutch is presented in this paper and the transmitted torque capacity is also calculated. In order to enlarge the friction force, a part of rotating force of driving side is converted to normal force of friction materials by clamping arm. The increased normal force of friction materials assures the large friction force and the transmitted torque capacity of clutch becomes large. The self clamping friction clutch is adopted in the tube type air pressure clutch and the condition of stability is investigated. It is proven that the inclined angle of clamping arm and the friction factor of friction materials are the essential elements in stability and torque capacity of self clamping friction clutch. The transmitted torque capacity of self clamping friction clutch is compared with air pressure clutch. The normal force of friction lining is magnified by 1/(1-k) and the transmitted torque capacity is also magnified with same proportion comparing with air pressure clutch. The larger the friction factor of friction lining, the larger the magnification factor. The longer the clamping arm, the smaller the magnification factor. It must be also noted that the value of k=${\mu}Y/X$ is the criterion of stability. If the value of k=${\mu}Y/X$ is greater than or equal to 1, the self clamping friction clutch is unstable and it can not be used as clutch.

For the reliable clamping of a robotic colonoscope inside the colon, we propose a clamping module consisting of six legs at the front and a trigger at the rear. In addition, a pneumatic-line based locomotive mechanism, which was developed previously for in-pipe inspection, is adopted to reduce the friction force between the pneumatic lines and the locomotion environment. In order to evaluate locomotion performance, a robot with a diameter of 15 mm and a length of 110.250 mm is used. Based on control signal from LabVIEW, it is tested in acrylic pipe and pig's colon. The proposed robot is able to move in the curved path which has a radius of over 25 mm. The speed of the robot is 33 mm/s in a straight path and 12.1 mm/s on a vertical path. The proposed robot, which has one pneumatic line and two clamping modules, conclusively shows reliable locomotion performance under in vitro condition.

Three-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter, generally known as Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) Inverter, has an inherent problem causing Neutral Point (NP) potential variation. Until now, in many literatures NP potential problem has been investigated and lots of solutions have also been proposed. However, under fault and fault tolerant control, distinctive feature for NP potential variation problem was rarely published from the standpoint of reliability. In this paper, NP potential is analytically investigated both normal and faulty conditions under carrier based PWM. Subsequently, relation between fault detection time and size of capacitor is analyzed. This information is explored by simulation and experiment results, which contribute to enhance the reliability of inverter system.
