The purpose of this paper was to find an effective method for measuring electromagnetic torque produced by a brushless DC motor with single-phase current sensing in real-time. A torque equation is derived from the theory of brushless DC motor. This equation is then validated experimentally with a motor dynamometer. A computer algorithm is also proposed to implement the electromagnetic torque estimation equation in real-time. Electromagnetic torque is a linear function of phase current. Estimating the electromagnetic torque in real-time using single-phase current is not appropriate with existing equations, however, because of the rectangular alternating-pulse nature of the excitation current. With some mathematical manipulation to the existing equations, the equation derived in this paper overcame this limitation. The equation developed is simple and so it is computationally efficient, and it takes only motor torque constant and single-phase current to evaluate the electromagnetic torque; no other parameters such as winding resistances, inductances are needed. The equation derived is limited to the three-phase brushless DC motor. It can, however, easily be extended to the multiphase brushless DC motor with the technique described in this paper.

This paper presents a new rotor position estimation method for brushless DC motors. The estimation error of the rotor position clearly provokes the phase shift angle misaligned between the phase current and the back-EMF waveforms, which causes torque ripple in brushless DC motor drives. Such an estimation error can be reduced with the help of the proposed neutral-voltage-based estimation method, which is structured as a closed loop observer. A neutral voltage appearing during the normal mode of the inverter operation is found to be an observable and control table measure, which can be used for estimating an exact rotor position. This neutral voltage is obtained from the DC-link current, the switching logic, and the motor speed values. The proposed algorithm, which can be easily implemented by using a single DC-link current and the motor terminal voltage sensors, is verified by simulation and experiment results.

This paper proposes an algorithm to estimate the screw torque from parameters of induction motor and current of DC motor without strain gage and torque cell. The parameters of friction torque search for damping ratio and electromotive force constant use the motor torque and angula speed signals be generated in the induction motor, make use of oscilloscope and stroboscope for precise measured of experimental data, measured physical parameters through experimental. In addition the screw torque estimated use of measured current signals from induction moor. The results, theory and simulation recognized well coincidence.

This paper studies on the noise reduction for a small automobile DC Motor (a window motor) using the 6 sigma process. The application of 6 sigma process suggested reliable and valuable statistical data for the quality of the DC motor at the production line. In the measurement step in 6 sigma process. the FMEA(failure mode effect analysis) were used for the detection of noise sources. The application of 6 sigma Process gave not only the improving method for the quality of the DC motor but also the confidence of improvement Itself since it was done on the basis of the test results for a number of DC motors at the production line. Consequently the 6 sigma process was proved very effective for the noise reduction at the production line.

This paper presents a sensorless speed control of a DC servo motor using a fuzzy-sliding observer in the presences of load disturbances. A fuzzy-sliding observer is proposed in order to estimate the speed of a motor rotor. First, a sliding observer is used to estimate the derivative of the armature current directly using the armature current mesured in the DC servo motor. Second, the optimal gain of the Luenberger observer is set up using the fuzzy control. Experimental results show the good performance in the DC servo motor system with the proposed fuzzy-sliding observer.

In this paper, described is a research on the modal analysis of small DC motor by finite element method fer the vibration reduction. An impact test is performed to obtain the natural frequencies and modal shapes of DC motor, which valuate the usefulness of the finite element analysis model. From the study, we show that this finite element analysis model can be applicable for designing a new motor with improvement in vibration characteristics. As an example, a shape modification of DC motor is performed and its vibration characteristics is discussed in comparison with those of original shape.

본 논문은 DC Motor의 속도 제어를 위해서는 속도를 결정해주는 PWM 출력과 Motor의 속도를 측정할 수 있는 고속카운터가 필요하며 설정한 값과 실제 출력되는 값을 동일하게 만들어주는 제어부분을 구현하여야 하며 시스템을 구성하기 위한 주변 I/O도 구성되어야 한다. 기존 마이크로프로세서로 구현을 하게 되면 PWM 출력과 제어 알고리즘에 대한 연산 및 주변 I/O에 대한 구현이 용이하겠지만 DC Motor의 Encoder에서 나오는 신호를 카운터하기에는 부족한 측면이 많으며 마이크로프로세서의 연산처리 과정에 따라 제어 알고리즘 연산에 소비되는 시간도 FPGA로 구현한 시스템보단 상대적으로 여유가 없다. 본 논문에서는 FPGA만을 이용하여 PWM, HSC, PID, 주변 I/O등을 하나의 Chip에 System On Chip화함으로 실제 시스템에 적용할 때 제어시스템의 소형화와 제어대상을 고속의 정확성있는 제어시스템을 연구 하였다.

In this paper we treat the application of fault detection method in DC motor having both model mismatch and noise problems. A fault detection method presented by Kwon et al. (1994) for SISO systems has been here experimented. The model mismatch includes here linearization error as well as undermodelling. Comparisons are made with the real plant, DC motor. The experimental result of robust fault detection method is shown to have good performance via with the alternative fault detection method which do not account noise.
